Yates's were frequented historically by alcoholics as you could maintain your drunken stupor for much less money than it would cost in other pubs - notable exceptions being Holts, Boddingtons houses and working mens clubs.
Imagine a downmarket version of 'The Moon under water' (carpets removed!) and you're getting the idea of a traditional Yates establishment.

I remember going out doing pub crawls in Manchester with mates on Saturday afternoons in the late 70’s.
3 of the establishments that we’d pass through were Yates’s - 1 at the bottom of Oldham Street Nr Piccadilly Gardens, 1 at the top of Oldham Street (now the Frog & Bucket comedy club I think?) and 1 just off the middle on the corner of Back Market Street.
They were so popular / full that you’d struggle to squeeze in through the doors and standing was the only option if there were more than a couple of you.

Stepping into a Yates' is like stepping through the black gate into Mordor.

Top, middle and bottom Yates's as we knew them.
They were the Wetherspoons of their day.
All types of people went in, as I myself did very occasionally.
I could give quite a long list of establishments I frequented over the years.
Castle and Falcon
The Unicorn and
The Douglas were 3 of my favourites.

A 'Blob' is a drink.
Not certain of the exact proportions, but let's say 1/3 Australian sweet white wine.
2/3 hot water.
Tbsp sugar.
Slice of lemon.
That's why any Yates's is commonly known as a 'Blob' shop.

Which is why back in the day we called the 3 Yates' in Town the Top Blobber, Middle Blobber & Bottom Blobber.

On RAWK they never want to discuss terrorising Europe for decades by fighting, robbing, stealing, looting, attacking away fans with Stanley Knifes, Heysel and killing……, attacking Bulgarian Waiters, jibbing turnstiles, robbing match tickets off their own, pushing locals into fountains, m@sturbating naked from fountains(what is it with Liverpool fans and fountains?), setting the Liver Building on fire, attacking each other, attacking emergency services, trashing Liverpool, attacking opposition player coaches with bricks, cans, bottles, etc, having a shirt sponsor that has been fined hundreds of millions of Dollars and Pounds for illegal money laundering and evading international sanctions, cheating by diverting ground redevelopment money to comply with FFP, illegaly hacking another clubs player database and getting caught ;-), and a whole host of other misdemeanours throughout the history of the club they support.
