Half the pubs in town are indentikit and shit. And no different to the WA, Yew Tree etc.

Don't go to those ones, then.

Some people would perfer to get off a coach after a 3 hour journey and go somewhere close for a sit down and drink. Not have to travel into a city they don't know to find somewhere. It's easy for us knowing where is decent in town, not so much for some old boy from Bournemouth.
Yep, I’ll pretty much always drink in the club bar for whatever team it is if it’s available before the game.

It's pretty poor away fans have nothing near the ground. Saying they can drink in town is far from ideal. Take the last game, Bournemouth fans spend what, 3 hours travelling to VP, they then have to leave VP, pay more and take more time to go into Brum and then head back to where they were.

Sure, so why would you want to spend what little time you have available in an identikit rammed pub near the ground that's exactly the same as all the other rammed pubs near football grounds when you could have a pleasant drink in the city centre instead?

The key word here is ‘rammed.’ It’s obviously what people want.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
