CiderSomerset Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I am planning on catching the train with my good lady for the game against Norwich on the 29th.. I usually drive up but as its my birthday the day before we are going to make a day of it and enjoy a few bevvies before and after the match.Where are the best places to go before and after the game for a few pints with fellow City fans?? I havent had a pint or two before a home match for a few years, so the sooner I can get the other half to pass her driving test the better!!

Gaffer Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I always go to the robins before the game, more through habit and superstition more than anything else. It's certainly not a great pub. Although they do have stowford press on tap....Bar BS3 is the best pre match pub, it's the old rising sun. It'll be packed, but it's quality. Watched the Watford away game in there and it was mint! Also, I went in before the Leicester game...and we lost that. Back to the robins from now on in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'd recommend a little North Street crawl. Quba Ice, Tobacco Factory then BS3 is a decent little one with a fair few City in there. BS3's definately the busiest pre-match watering hole around the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good screens for televised games, they have sky and setanta in there. Although it gets heaving they always have a lot of bar staff on so get served pretty quickYou will need to show your match ticket on the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
