[Drinking] Brighton bottom of the League (and Burnley top).

[McTavish]

The Amex is bottom of the league for pre-match pints according to a study by AceOdds.

According to the study, there are only three pubs within 15 minutes' walking distance with only Man City worse with two (compared to 131 for St James' Park). When a weighted score using the top Google star ranked pub and the price of a pint, Brighton is dead last (£5.00 at the 4.5 rated Swan Inn); Burnley is top - £2.50(!) at the New Brew-m Pub.

Who wins the Premier League for pre-match pints?

Newcastle's St James' Park stadium is the best location to get a pre-match pint in the Premier League, according to a new study.

Barber out!

I'd rather pay a tenner a pint than live in Burnley

 

[el punal]

As most fans travel to the Amex by train, be it from Brighton or Lewes, the question should be how many pubs are within a 5/10 minute walk of Brighton or Lewes station. Don’t know about Lewes but Brighton pubs within that area :
Queens Head, Grand Central, Railway Bell, Battle of Trafalgar, Sussex Yeoman, Duke of Wellington, Caxton, Evening Star, Royal Standard, Prince Albert, Nelson - that’s just for starters.

Seem to remember a beer festival underneath the main stand at Turf Moor, when we played them in the late 90's. I wondered at the time how they managed to get a licence for that, not that I was complaining.

In fairness to Burnley the cricket club is a great pre-match venue

 

[pb21]

131 pubs within 15-mins of St James' Park, ~1-mile, that over 40 pubs per square mile?!

I've given Newcastle a lot of stick this week, but St James Park is the best situated ground in the country, right in the centre of town.

I wonder how many actually saw the game!

Wont be long until all 131 are closed on match days.

The Swan and Falmer Bar are obvious. Is the last Ruby on Coldean Lane?

And your surprised, they are practically Scottish you know that right.

I reckon so.

Does the uni campus only have one bar now? In the late 90s/early 00s there were 4 at least. The Grapevine, East Slope and 2 others, the names of which have slipped my mind.

Summer pre-match at the Burnley cricket ground next to the stadium is great.

I once tried to visit all 85 pubs within a half-mile of the Quadrant in a week.

I failed.

Portman Road?

 

[Bodian]

Molineaux - 50 pubs nearby. How many allow away fans in? Think it's about 1.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Portman Road?

yeah, but the pubs in Ipswich are shite whereas Newcastle city centre is brilliant. Both welcoming to away fans though.

Less than that….although we managed to get in undercover to one of them a few weeks ago

Brighton Uni used to have a bar at Falmer too - dont know if theyve replaced with another

 

[portlock seagull]

As every club would like a captive audience, this proves we yet again lead the field! More seriously, as someone else said, better measure would be the 2 major rail terminals.
