SCUNTHORPE UNITED

[Barchullona]

They back their own beers and local brewers big time.

Unlike here where people demand Carling and Coors

Lower duties and VAT on bar sales help as well.

 

[Mr Hatem]

I was in a bar in Ghent and had 4 different beers.
Each one in the correct glass supplied with nibbles on the table each time .
Terrific! Stylish

Striptease bar?

I went in the strip bar in Hull a few years back .
£10 to get in
Cant remember how much for a private dance where you sit on your hands prob £20.
£5 for a beer.
I was in there 30 mins max .
What a ****ing waste of money
The lads I used to go out with went regular wasting £60 a time .

I like the attention to detail of having the correct glass for different beers they have in Belgium and Holland. Here you just get what is nearest yo hand. Not a tulip glass in sight on most places.

One of the reasons I like Head of Steam is that they always seem to use the proper glass.

Tis important.

Yeah it's important but it's getting stupidly expensive in there .

I only went out to put a cheque in bank
Missus was not happy

 

[TwoWrights]

I'd rather drink tea than those lagers.
****ing dreadful stuff

Each to their own, I like fizzy chemical lagers but dislike real gravy ermmm ale.

Us oldies grew up in a time when you wouldn’t have thought about playing Scunthorpe unless it was a Cup game. Unless you are old enough to have been going before 1966 in which case we saw them but then after the promotion in 1966 anyone who started going then would have had to wait until 1982,

My first City match was against Scunthorpe, at the beginning of the 65/66 season. A 3-2 win. Sat in the Main (West) stand. I couldn't get over how many people there were (18K -- I checked) I had never seen a crowd like it.

he said "nibbles" on the table.

Didn't they turn the old nightclub on George Street, (now a carpark) into a dinnertime go-go dancing joint. I went once. What a pit! I didn't go-go again. My dancing was ****.
