Never to the dark side Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think the pub was on Fulham high street with a Square bar and staff would only serve on one side of the bar. Not sure which pub though I ordered two pints of Guiness and a packet of crisps,handed me tenner over,and they said I need another two pound fifty. I said "London prices?" No we always bump up the prices on match days Can any one shed any light on which pub they think it was,so I can avoid the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Pretty common in London. Around Wembley the pubs/bars all have signs like ‘Matchday prices start at 430pm’. Cost of additional security, you understand, and definitely not just blatant profiteering against footy fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the Temperance. Just north of Putney Bridge. https://goo.gl/maps/5fujkUxeYYNTDB948 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsteral Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 John Have you bought a drink at Ashton Gate recently? Heineken and Amstel yesterday were £4.80 with the ST discount, £5.30 without discount. I couldn,t afford the crisps as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I’m not sure it’d be much cheaper on non match days to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Was on a coach trip to Torquay ( We were pretty local) for some Birthday do. After a few pubs we ended up in this nightclub by the harbour witch i remembered from my clubing days as the 400 club. Now me and my mate plus our women supped a few,so when the barman wanted 20quid+ for the first round at about 9ish we thought WTF. Had a chat and realised that by midnight we would be getting short of money. We cut our losses ****** off to an Indian restaurant and supped for about 4 hours and still had cash in our pockets. OK that was a few years ago but i realised then clubing wasn't for me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted January 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Contacted the Temperance pub and they stated the increase in prices from first thing in the morning,Guiness is £5.80p The other thing I don't like about the place is they have a "square bar" and won't/don't serve from the other three sides of the bar So I am off across the river to east putney undeground station to watch the Luton v Bournemouth match after I have been to the hard days night photo exhibition 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 What a name for a pub! The try again pub was ran by a vicar from the temperance movement. Hence the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Only sold soft drinks in those days. But in the 90s, they had a 6 foot bong, as a ornament in the corner for years. Then some killjoy, got rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 There's endless options in Putney and Fulham. The pubs the other end of the park from the ground aren't great, you're probably better off crossing the bridge to Putney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
