Why tell opposition fans about our favourite pubs?

Doc Lynam · Oct 15, 2016

Why do BHA fans go onto oppositions fans forums and start recommending local favourite pubs for the opponents to drink at? Seen this a few times when checking out the current opponents forum!

This weeks recommendations

"Not sure about the bus - I can't hack a 35 min bus journey with my peanut bladder.

I know Brighton reasonably well, I reckon it's not a 20 min walk down to the Bright Helm - 10-15 more like, but then we're from the north and we walk quick like.

I also like the look of the Queens Head and the Prince Albert pubs right by the station - both look nice, what do you reckon mate?"

Yeah about 10 mins, its a crap pub though, its Weatherspoons. Prince Albert, Battle of Trafalgar are superb, avoid Queens Head.

I've always enjoyed the encounters I've had with opposition fans pre-match (and, sometimes, post-match).

Do you work for the local tourist board by any chance ?

Doc Lynam · Oct 15, 2016

Fair enough just seems odd to me to recommend places favoured by locals when you have no idea who you are recommending them too!

It can be really useful.
We've been to some great pubs around the country that I've seen recommended on other forums. Works both ways.

As long as we don't start telling them about the best vegetarian restaurants in Brighton I couldn't care less.

Most sensible people would do research on Pubs ,I know i do if visiting a different place for a game.

Cheeky Monkey · Oct 15, 2016

Or where TKMaxx is, some of us with a size 12 wide fitting find it hard enough finding shoes as it is, without Norwich or Villa fans joining in the up the escalator to the top floor by the back wall bun fight.

There's so many good pubs in town that it shouldn't matter

How does a "Soft Shandy" Southerner recommend a pub to a hard Northern Pint of Stella wife beater? :jester:

True enough

If they are good bunch - why not?

I wouldn't encourage it for the likes of Millwall of CP of course but most clubs fans are just like us.

Aye......and nobody would know where to buy six fingered gloves without the advice of Blackburn fans.

Wellesley · Oct 15, 2016

So we can give 'em a good kick-in.

Taybha · Oct 15, 2016

Always enjoy a chat with whoever we are playing home or away , as funny as give em a good kick in is , it would be pants if we went back to the old days in this respect .

You might think differently if you'd have been in the pub near London Bridge Station the day we stuffed Charlton 4-0 and Millwall beat Palace by a big margin at Selhurst Park.

The joint celebrations between Millwall and Albion fans came as a big surprise to everyone who was there.

Just like us, we are not all angels you know, some of the goons i have seen away from home i would not want in the same pub as me.

Wilko · Oct 15, 2016

Yup, sorry I agree with other posters, I like having a chat and a pint with fans of other clubs especially GENUINE fans of teams like Barnsley, Huddersfield and Preston, much better conversation than the sky sports Man utd twats in pubs on a Sunday.

Herr Tubthumper · Oct 15, 2016

I'm glad folk are broadcasting Brighton's excellence to others. Keep it up
