I've got some colleagues coming down from work on Saturday and we're meeting for a few beers before the game. Any recommendations on pre-match pubs, which to avoid?
We're lager drinkers rather than ale if that helps!
It was a rather pointed query, Mark. However, on the last couple of Tuesday matches I think real ale was either scarce or not available - a barrel or two were ordered but found wanting.
I believe that all spoons pubs recently reduced their prices in a protest around VAT. You may wish to take advantage of this magnificent gesture
The VAT offer was for one day only I'm afraid, the 25th September.
I'd go to the Turnpike, always has loads of lagers and ales on and well kept too. Food is very good also and you won't need to take out a mortgage to pay for it.

I don't think enough real ale is sold in midweek to make it viable however I will be very disappointed if there is none on Saturday.
