I can live with the beer, usually, it's the pubs I don't like. I've been in quite a few over the years (I've a mate who insists on going in one every time we meet up) but they all just seem soulless to me.I tend to avoid some Wethers, the ones in Hull are in bad need of some renovation, particularly 3 Johns. But the Beverley one is actually a really nice pub. And Wethers are always unbeatable when you want a pint at 9am, not that I usually do apart from an away game

. My last post on Wethers but I remember the last time we played Fulham away and like you do, we got to the wethers near Fulham (putney?) at about 9.30. Pub was open but they wouldn't serve until 11. So about 100 hull lads all having a fry up and a coffee. Must be some draconian by law there. That's why London never wins city of culture!Amateurs, I have no problem getting served in a pub.

I paid £4.58 for 2 pints of Jaipur in Spoons. Good luck getting even one pint of it for that much elsewhere.
I don't especially like Spoons, but then I don’t particularly like any other PubCo's either, particularly when they're kicking out mediocre beers like Hobgoblin Gold for £5 plus.
Eight Bells pub for Fulham games, opens at 10-00. I don't practice, I send someone else.Maybe I just need more practice

By a strange coincidence there’s a new Wetherspoons opening today in Fulham, the sad bastards were queueing outside at 8am for the opening day
What really happens is you walk in scout for a vacant table but there are non so you stand and wait eyeing up anyone who appears to be getting ready to leave, finally you see some getting their coats on, moving swiftly across the pub just as you get near another group moves in and beats you to it.
Returning to the space you just left you see people at a table right there have got up to go but there's already new arrivals claiming the place.
Eventually you get to sit down, the table is covered in spilt beer making it all sticky on top of that there's a mountain of dirty plates and empty glasses. Being the techy you order a round of drinks on the app, they arrive quickly and the spotty youf puts them on the table and walks away. You spot a different youf collecting things, get up walk over and ask him to clear your table which to be fair he does. Unfortunately he doesn't wipe down the slopes left on the table top, that's someone else's job. Leaning in to chat with your mates you rest your arm on the table after a short time you get a damp feeling and look to see your best going out shirt is now soaking up half a pint of beer and a load of tomato ketchup.
Ah well, you turn to drink. Now realising that the teenagers behind the bar have no idea how to keep and serve a pint of real ale. Real ale which has been sat in the pipes for days because most customers buy a pitcher of fruit juice with a few shots of vodka in it.
It is cheap though.
Did you get served
haha! I was waiting for that!! I might walk up for breakfast on fri morning
I used to work in the town in Hull and there was always a group of people waiting for 3 Johns to open at 9. Very sad. On the subject of Fulham has the new stand been finished? I remember seeing the plans and it looked amazing.
I paid £3.60 for a pint and a half of Strongbow in one of the Wetherspoons in Glasgow last Thursday,stayed for a few then went to All Bar One...£10.15 for a pint and a half of Aspall.
Drinking a pint and a half every time, how very Scottish.

They wouldn't even let me in there when I tried to go in on a totally City unrelated day. I think they were playing Millwall. Bouncer wouldn't believe I was just a Northern bloke who was thirsty.Eight Bells pub for Fulham games, opens at 10-00. I don't practice, I send someone else.

I'm partial to a nice Spanish white Rioja but my real favourites are the wines of Lanzarote,pretty expensive though.Never had you for a white wine drinker.
I still haven't opened one of the two bottles of red I bought weeks ago.
Ain't it strange, I go seven years without drink, now i'm told I can have a glass of red, I don't fancy it.
Never knew Lanzarote made wine, learn something every day
Canarian wines are in high demand.
Not the biggest vineyards though.
They don't waste them on the likes of us.
