One by Hove station. Seem to remember it was a Firkin pub for a while. DogBolter and DogsBollocks I think we're a couple of their beers.

In that case I remembered that one's name. What was the one by the lights that was later the Seagulls Tavern called then?

 

[Stat Brother]

First and last games plus birthdays etc, we'd go to The Harbour View.

The landlady would sling us out in a 'don't come back' fashion, while her husband would quietly say 'don't worry lads she'll calm down by the final whistle, see you later'.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Round my Mum & Dad's. Probably some orange juice with my Rice Krispies to get the day up & running, and then maybe a glass of Coke with my KitKat before we left for the game, or orange squash if we'd run out.

Good times.

Didn't it have some ridiculously long name so that it could be called the pub with the longest name. Something that ended like "is right here in Hove"

 

[pork pie]

sackville

Yep, that's the one.

At one point it was the self-styled Pub with The Longest Name In The World. Name went all along the front and down. Was pretty shit pub by then, but the default watering hole for anyone getting off the train at Hove.
