That’s a good signing isn’t it? I thought he was really highly rated at one point.

 

[nickwr37]

Posted by PurpleRain earlier today and yes, could be good.

 

[Need4speed]

I think it is interesting If we send our good youngsters there then they need to be playing with good but also seasoned professionals if they are to develop

 

[Tarqs]

Spent a great many evenings in the Highcliffe, from school at Highstorres to living on louth Rd through all the nineties.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

8 goals in Scottish Premiership. Marc McNulty managed that in half a season.

Doubt it has much to do with us this one.

 

[Rodley]

I vaguely recall him being laughed at for being very crap.

Was the Old Grindstone still there? My local in the 70s. The Crookes pubs were the ones we went to to get away from the students in Broomhill (although we were, in fact, students).

Wrong end from my rat run. Hammer and Pincers, Woodstock, Banner Cross, Napoleon's, Gatecrasher, Isabella's, in some kind of order....Now is Solcaffee, Rick's Bar, Rockline, Oura Bar, Hotshots, Hangover., Coyote Bar, Invictus. I prefer the climate in the latter list and Oura Beach with stunning views.

Still there. Was briefly a Stancil but now True North. The Ball, The Punch Bowl, Masons, Noah's Ark. South Seas was a hellhole rockpub but now a magic cafe.

And Richard Hawley.

Does he you know Carrington? I lived on there

Me too, had my 1st ever pint of bitter (and my last) in the Tankard aged 16, although to be fair I frequented the Greyhound & Ball more often.

Wallet Ender .
Bert was 14 when he first sampled the Griffin Inn bitter.

I once had a projectile vomit from the Griffin step after drinking all the top shelf on my 18th birthday.... onto the chick I was after new shoes

I doubt that Bert would have little more than a passing acquaintance with the Tankard , given that it was the hostelry of choice for the village idiots and roughnecks where barely a weekend went by without trouble breaking out both inside and out .

Not the sort of place I would associate with a young gentleman of good breeding and sensitivity .

Indeed, Bert was more a Griffin man, he was also briefly a member of the Ex-Servicemen's club round the corner.
They had a better class of riff-raff.
