At the same time the police were telling people coming in on trains that all pubs in the town were closed and they should go straight to the ground.
Mobile phones were rarities in 1991 but the Bush Telegraph and the local 'spotters' employed by the publicans to tempt in the thirsty ensured that most people got in somewhere.
"I can guarantee you will not get a drink in this town tonight" said one big ugly Welsh bobby as we arrived by coach. The same assh*le was not too amused when we returned after the game, eurphoric after a 3-0 win on an ice rink and several pints of the local bevvy. Happy Days! :) :)
When we go to countries where alcohol is banned, we have to live within their rules.Quote:

Why dont we turn this into a poll question?

Not sure i actually agree with the whole closing of pubs on Good Friday, but its no harm to have an excuse to stay in the odd time!!!
