Never said it did, but to not have a drink at football because you want to “analyse the game” is weird. You’re not managing the side mate, you’re there for a day out.

Interesting to see how much, reckon that'd be surprising …. So anyone want to share how many pints they personally get down their neck on an average home/away matchday? (psst, please be honest but careful if your unsuspecting better half knows your user name! ) 2 hours ago, TuxHarry said: Boring lightweight then. 4 hours drinking before a game is absolutely standard, you ought to do some of the away days our fans do. You can double the 4 hours pre-match. 2 hours ago, TuxHarry said: Home games 5/6 pints pre match, 5/6 after, away games if starting at 7am probably about 15 over the course of the day. Sounds a lot, but if you think about it 5/6 pints in 4 hours isn’t a lot, also 15 pints over 18 or so hours is a lot but it’s about what most people would do drinking over that amount of time. Football is the highlight of my week and the only time I go out boozing anymore tbh. Blimey, nevermind 'who ate all the pies,' it's looking pretty certain we know 'who sank all the pints' now.. 15 matchday pints, phew, (that rivals the late snooker legend that was Canada's Bill Wereniuk ) Anymore big 'Liverpoor fans' here that beats Harry and his £60/70 odd quid matchday beer consumption ? What's your typical matchday drinking spree ? A couple of pints for most people I'd have thought, but this thread has me thinking again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your typical matchday drinking spree ? A couple of pints for most people I'd have thought, but this thread has me thinking again! Yeah I think you may be out there with that average. I go with a group of about 30 and every one all do the same every week, and we bump into the same lads on the train station and in pubs that do the same every week. It’s what makes football for me. Depends where the away is mate. Barnsley away for example I’ve done a 13/14 pint day and spent less than £35 on booze, whereas Brentford in a few weeks I’ll be getting in about 3pm and will take closer to £100.

So, out of interest, what’re your usual drinking routes on a matchday and what time do you start it all? We tend to do from 11am Barley Mow -> Assembly -> Masonic and then sometimes a sneaky one in the concourse before. Drank in El Rincon the last few years. The Spanish as more may know it by. Small place, Estrella on tap or cans/bottles of various other ciders/beers. You get a good group in there most weeks. Dave who runs it is also a top bloke.

pongo88 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I think this thread has solved the problem of why there are so many contradictory comments about player performance after a match. There’s probably some correlation between the amount of beer consumed and the craziness of the the posts - as proven by Tommy from Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Planet Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't think anyone has yet mentioned the "Merch" - Merchants Arms, Hotwells. We always meet there for a pre-match pint (just one usually). Or after the game if it is an early KO. A proper old fashioned boozer. Also, very away fans friendly. There were loads of Boro fans in there after the last home game. That is - except Cardiff and Swansea fans ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted September 18, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don’t think I went to a game stone cold sober for many years, there have been plenty of seasons a stiff drink was essential to get through the torture. Must admit, don’t drink anywhere near as much nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
