Don't forget that Eric was far better known as Morecambe anyway because Bartholemew and Wiseman were never going to get on a flyer!

I think that is due to the demise of Barrow and Workington as football clubs
Next time dress like this!

Not refused but after winning the jackpot inc a repeat chance in a pub at Crewe Away they turned the fruit machine off and told me no more as it’s locals money [emoji2371]

We tried but weren’t allowed in. “Home fans only, police orders”.
Allowed in afterwards though!

We got there at 12:15 and were escorted in by our Wolves STH

You should have retorted with "you didn't mind taking Southern money for my beer!"

Wolves has always been dreadful for pubs.

Not seen such Bravery!
Would only go in a Wetherspoons grief hole if it was the last saloon in dodge.

Tried to visit the Dog & Doublet but it was closed. Walked into The Bohemian, just around the corner from the Hogshead, which was nice. Doorman wasn't on the door when we walked in but no issue with ordering beer in a southern accent.

I took exception to his remark about Wetherspoons and bellends. He was saying that if you drink in Wetherspoons you are obviously a bellend.,
They're not bad for breakfast if you're in a bit of a rush to get on somewhere.

Met a couple of Wolves ex work colleagues. Went in a couple of pubs in the. It’s centre - no colours and it was great. Walked to the ground through the tunnel and it was pretty intimidating but a fantastic atmosphere
Wolves mate was a bit pissed of afterwards with ours”anti football”
But hey ho [emoji2]

I'm a pub landlord and I hold more licences than you could shake a stick at, and legally I'm responsible for ensuring that the licensing objectives, one of which is the 'prevention of crime and disorder' are met. Easy you might think. but trouble and worse comes usually totally out of the blue for the strangest reasons. It's easier, therefore, to make some simple rules and stick to them. (The last fight I had in my pub was on a Sunday afternoon when there were only three people in the pub and two of them decided to squabble!)
When Wycombe play at home we make The White Horse 'away fans' only. And we employ two big door supervisors to make sure that is followed.That way even a hint of trouble is avoided. Other pubs locally have had all sorts of trouble by allowing home and away fans to mix, despite the original protestations of 'I only want a beer mate'. And this is only for a match in Division 1.
As the landlord I can serve or refuse to serve anyone who I decide will be a problem or prevent me from fuliflling the licensing objectives. Whilst this may sound pompous, it does mean that I have avoided all sorts of problems in the past and, I hope, the fiuture. I especially see no reason wy, at my age, I should get a kicking because two people can't behave in a civilised manner before a football game! I don't thik you can blame the landlord or the pub company for rules like this: if things do 'kick off' in a pub fight not only can people get badlty hurt or worse but the licensee has to face the police and local council licensing officer on Monday morning and, surprise, they will always manage to turn it round into a licensing issue and therefore his or her fault! Effectively, homes and jobs are often at stake simply because some idiot wants to kick off before a game.
The trouble is that this affects everyone else. My advice would be to look for a pub with door supervisors on the door because at least then you'll know that someone has thought the issue through and made some plans for football fans.And even if they won't let you in, these gentlemen will surely know where 'away fans' are welcome
