    Come on, Everybody has one.

    I was in the 'Campus' recently and struggled to get out with the * sticky floors pure * also it's draped in R/W/B.
    That's definitely up there.
    The Lamppost as well for the * name alone.

    Been in loads..

    One in some town just outside Wigan..
    Got dropped off just outside Wigan on a coach 4 of us and my pals went to the Chelsea Wigan game,whole town and bouncers seemed to take a keen interest in us and lots if verbals,after the game we went back up the hill to meet the coach coming back and 2 of us split the other 2 and still found trouble getting followed by locals from the 2 pubs across the road,we both ended up on rows but my 2 pals got nicked in there one and banged up for the night and the other 2 of us manage go get on the coach after ours and out the dump..

    One in Birkenhead on a Friday night game tranmere-millwall then onto some club called the sun something,birds we met were doing a karaoke type thing and gave a little shout out to the London boys :87:,whole place went moody and we had to leave shortly after :bbpd:...
    That town is a shithole,proper backwater pubs,most uncomfortable I've felt anywhere in England..

    Old jolly Gardner in kennington/South London Jamaican yardy crack den,dodgy place if you knew no one..
    Luckily my pal lived in the tower block behind..

    This may come as a surprise to some but one of the naughtiest pubs in London or people that ran it was the hoops/celtic pub in the oval..
    Connected people throughout London and some stories not for here but they weren't to be messed with the family out of Brixton..
    Good tims and a good pub that was,eventually got shut down as they kept getting raided constantly and put a lot of punters off..
    Dutch doorman was abit too heavy handed with people aswell pulling blades on punters and stuff..

    Albanach or something in London. Ment to be a Scottish pub (according to google maps on my phone) We were greeted by a big black polish man in a kilt who couldn't understand us. Went downstairs and the place was empty, asked for 2 pints of tennents which they never had. Got 2 bottles of beer instead, cost us 9 quid.. 4 quid a beer and 50p mandatory tip each. Downed them and left. Absolute shitehole.

    The lucky leprechaun .... Pints as warm as a cup of tea and glasses as dirty as hun's knickers. Rotten grotty old place, was a Celtic and Irish bar in Orlando. Probably would still be a tad better than South Belfast NI Supporter's club!

    The Turnstiles doesn't look that appealing from the outside, but I still quite like it on a matchday.
    As long as a pub has beer and good company, it'll do for me.

    One time a few years ago I was in Cambuslang with a mate (Falkirk fan), waiting to pick someone up. We went for a quick pint in the first pub we saw. Walked in, ordered the drinks, looked up and saw the back wall fully adorned in Hun team photos from the past twenty years. I should have smelled it from the outside!

    Not really a pub but me and a mate ended up in that Jumpin Jacks,absolutely steamin after being chucked out a gig at the O2.

    Even in that state it was still utter pish. Funnily enough I actually think the place looks pretty cool inside but the people are just weird man.

    Went to a pub in London a few moths ago there, as soon I stepped in the door I sensed a shitehole, kind of exceeded the term shitehole when we noticed a wee rat crawling about the place, next time I'm down the east end ill just take it safe and stick with a weatherspoons

    The Redback in Acton, West London.

    Filthy, rotten dump of a place. The bouncers were absolute *, had to join a long queue to get out to the smoking area and when you did get out, not only was there plenty of room, you had ten mins to get back in. It was far too hot and packed inside, condensation was literally dripping from the ceiling. My mate's girlfriend was struggling and he asked the bouncer if she could get out for some air and got a blunt 'She has to queue like everybody else.' The punters were scum as well, getting your drink knocked over became par for the course and I clocked some dirty * * in a bin beside the toilet. It was my first and only time there, and I think it has since closed.

    I went in there once a few years back with a few guys I worked with,South African guys..
    The place is a backpack congregation spot of Aussies,kiwis and South Africans and I didn't like it in there at all..
    Didn't find it rough just full of tossers..

    :56:

    It's a dive,the birds aren't much better..
    Full of northern guys straight off the train going to and from football games..

    On the sub-crawl and had to go into the Loudon Tavern.

    Also a special mention for The Olde Wherry Tabern in Gourock. We played at the Battery Park in Greenock in the Scottish Cup a few months ago. Thought we would find a pub for a few pints before going back to Ayrshire and the aforementioned pub was the 1st place we seen. So we got off the bus ( about 20 of us) and walked into the pub. Went to order a drink and the bar person told us that they didn`t serve football teams. After asking if he was serious, he replied that he could serve us just one drink each and that was it. The offer was declined and moved to a boozer (Monteith`s) further up the road.

    I could understand it if we had been bevying for hours previous,however we had just finished playing about 15 mins prior to entering the pub.
