    This design would be good for canoes or submarines but not a lot else

    Spent many a night in there
    Watched the game when the arse beat the scousers for the league there then drunkenly hopped into a cab to Victoria for the bus to sweatyland
    There wasn't a gooner in the place but the place erupted when I think it was Mickey Thomas scored for the arse

    I was in The Queen pub in Aldershot, full of pissed up squaddies and it went mental when the second goal went in!
