Pre-match drinking - all change next season

[The Left Side]

And we lost 4-3, booo!

I remember the Forest game in the Simod Cup… without doubt the coldest game I have ever attended.
Remember thinking it was the small crowd which made it so cold…. and we lost...

No way. The coldest game ever was the Liverpool league cup game midweek when the power went and there was a long delay. Think we were still playing at 11pm.

I seem to remember it being some technical problem with the Ticketmaster system. I think there was originally a half hour delay but then one more delay at least afterwards.

I think it kicked off at least an hour late and went to extra-time. I doubt many people got home before midnight.

It almost went to extra time but Danny Murphy's late winner thwarted us after we'd come back from 3-1 down.

I was in the area yesterday and thought I'd take a look at how the Tavern is coming on. What a change to three months ago. It looks like we're going to have a pub to be proud of.

Down the left hand side at the rear there's a new extension, which I'm told is a function room. I couldn't get inside because it's still a building site but I managed to get a glimpse through the open front door, the bar is slightly to the left as you enter and the old back room where the pool table was in years gone by has gone. In it's place there's a large patio area.
It all looks quite impressive.

It should look impressive the amount of tax payers money thats gone into the place.

Yes but it makes a pleasant change to get something nice for our council tax.

why is it not painted Claret and Blue ? 

I hate that light green colour that seems to springing up on newly refurbished public houses...

Agree. It's all a bit national trust.

It is a "Villa pub" 19 times a year, I don't think it's enough to dictate the decor for the other 340 odd days.

I agree with what your saying Chris, but those 19 days last from August to May which is three quarters of the year

Gastro Pub Green, innit.

I was talking to someone about that the other day, the way that green and also the sort of greyish brown colour you see around gets used on pretty much every gastro pub up and down the country these days.

I would guess that the function room would be opened up for extra space on match days.

Let's be thankful that they didn't paint the place blue and white.
