Ahead of NUFC v CPFC, Mr_Dolf not impressed as Newcastle Upon Tyne city centre pubs were knocking back...NUFC fans (though obviously not the Strawberry)
Opinion8 mins agoI had a bit of a rubbish experience the day of the Newcastle v Crystal Palace game, and before we go down that route again, no it was nothing to do withLike many of you, I meet up with my mates before the game for a few pints, and like some of you, I take my little lad with me. That means finding nice middle ground experiences where the young fella can enjoy himself while the grown ups see off a few pre-match looseners.
When I arrived at the bar about 10 minutes later, we were declined entry by the lass at the front desk, because myself and Blake both had Newcastle shirts on. At this point we’ll ignore the fact that my original Adidas 95/96 away shirt is more classic fashion wear than standard football top and cut to the crux of the matter. Hutch had got drinks in for us all and he was sat in the middle of an empty bar we couldn’t get in.
I actually think this is appalling management, as this rule surely originates from London establishments where there could be up to six or seven games on the go on the same day, crowds of up to a dozen groups of fans could prove a bit of a tinderbox for bother. This is not an issue in Newcastle, as the suggestion of someone being singled out for wearing a Newcastle shirt in a pub in this city is laughable.
I have more time for this policy as I understand there are drinking spots that absolutely aren’t for kids at any time of the day. If anyone had tried to fetch their bairn into Idols a few years back I’d have been the first to suggest they were guilty of quite the error of judgement. However, when bars are apparently benign at first sight. I don’t think it’s uncommon for people with kids to consider a matchday peruse.
would be awkward for people because they had a kid or a football kit on. As I’ve caveated, post-match is different, or at least post 7pm, as the evening is for adults and each place is entitled to tailor its own clientele, but being a pr.ck about it in what is basically the late part of the morning is just creating unnecessary bad vibes and surely bad business.
