Hot Time at The Cardinals Hat

You're welcome to the pubs round Ashton Gate, thats all.

Or you prefer me around Gasman pubs...

Please don't they actually have quite a few good pubs that I enjoy drinking at (it is near where I live).

Not so enamoured with the ones round AG, the closest all kind of remind me of JDW, clean, smart, and slightly devoid of personality (couldn't comment on the price or facilities though).

Well we now have to purchase a ticket to get into the supporters bar even though we are season ticket holders, I didn't like their prawn sandwiches anyway though.

The Wedlock across the road was as I understand it an ok home supporters pub but closed a quite a few years back now and has recently been knocked down.

A couple of the nearest pubs have been bought up by the same family, who are at least ardent supporters, but for me their pubs are a bit modern and formulaic, very much in the sports bar mould, which I guess is a good way to be profitable near a football ground, so fair play to them.

And the other major player nearby always makes me think of a meat market, oddly a lot of the players allegedly drink there

Give me a good old fashioned wooden pub with a few board games on the side.

Actually from what I hear you would be better off getting prawn sandwiches than the pies they sell at our ground, my understanding is you are better sticking to the vendors outside the ground.

Whatever I goes, looks like I am unlucky for some..

Visited Digbeth's famous The Dubliner..

Burned down one week later (Since happily rebuilt and reopened)

Visited Barton Arms in Aston..

Few days later, huge fire in Kitchen and later rebuilt

Visited Bull Ring Tavern in centre of B'ham..

2 rival gangs broke out and smashed the window with bar stool. Escaped through fire exit..

Visited The Newt also in B'ham..

Brum and Spurs supporters taunted each other and huge brawl broke out. Glass ashtray narrowly missed my head by inches.

To more closer to my home..

One night in The Red Lion, Hopwas.. I was playing darts then suddenly, a car crashed into the wall by jumping over the bridge. and the wall was knocked down and rebuilt.

I've never had to bar someone before they come in the pub before...
