Most intimidating London Ground in years gone by?

I was going to remark on the silence following Adcock's goal at the old Den,one of the strangest things I've ever witnessed watching City,I also went to midweek games there as I was living in London at the time,you try explaining to a copper you don't need an escort as you're parked round the corner in a barely audible whisper as to not get sussed.
Plough Lane was a bit of a shit hole and Chelsea hanging around outside only added to the tension as the plod wanted us out of Merton A.S.A.P.,is my mind playing tricks on me but did Wimbledon have a boozer attached to the ground,like the Butchers in Droylsden?.

Yes, they did. The Nelson I think it was called, and there was a Sportsman's Bar as well I seem to recall. I used to live down the road from it. All blocks of new flats on the site now. Sad
