Seem to remember always noticing a big advert standing on the Kippax(was it on the roof of the main stand before they redeveloped it?) that said 'smile please you're in Grennhall Whitley land.
Was a little lost on me at the time though in truth as it was 'pre drinking days' for me.
It probably wasn’t intended to be, but the original question here has been pretty thought provoking for me. My 40 years of watching City home and away has certainly involved a huge (too much) amount of drinking. During that time I’ve drunk pretty much everything, bitter, mixed, Guinness, cider, lager, but no one thing I’d particularly associate with City. By 2011 when the trophies started it was lager and currently it is Holts Diamond in the Bradford on match days. Great question !
West Ham are reviving double diamond's jingle:Not as good as Watney's Red Barrel, Worthington E or Double Diamond.
Those were the days of dead keg top pressure beer. Long gone, thank god.Bloody Nora! That lot was like drinking lemonade with razer blades in it followed by a thumping headache the following morning.
back in the 60s I remember some pubs sold Old Tom by the nip a 3rd of a pint, must try Robinson Old Tom next trip up for a game, stopping in Stockport so should find a pub that stocks it .Always used to finish the Stockport Hillgate Stagger with a pint of Old Tom at the Blossoms, ladies included. Never any trouble (though we avoided Winters as it was a Rag pub though the Holt was good).
Seems to have a shorter "season" each year, Dave, but Blossoms and the Swan with Two Necks would be a good bet. Stockport better than ever for pubs these days.back in the 60s I remember some pubs sold Old Tom by the nip a 3rd of a pint, must try Robinson Old Tom next trip up for a game, stopping in Stockport so should find a pub that stocks it .
A pint of froth in an edible cup for a fiverFlat Heineken served in paper cups which taint the taste with an almost acidic hint.
