As we are likely to get hammered on Friday, I would suggest that you just avoid the TV and hope for the best, although personally I can't see any best, until the Head Coach is replaced.

Old Barn is more of a rugby pub but they do sometimes show footie when no rugby is on. Great ales in there. Situated slightly outside of Nailsea, towards Wraxall. The most enjoyable way to walk there is across the fields from the Elms estate, armed with wellies and a torch Sawyers more of a spit and sawdust locals sort of place. Have never been violated in there though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never been in there when a match is on but it generally attracts a somewhat older clientele than the Oak, so I can't imagine a scene with lots of people standing. Some of them might not survive the experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locals pub, no trouble, and will be fine.. agree that if Rugby, then The Barn is better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indeed rovers fans but the best rovers fans around. They look after the punters who ever you support. I watched city v Cardiff in there when it was on sky and they looked after everyone in there watching with nibbles at bar etc . proper old school landlords.
