    I'm bored, so I thought I'd ask.

    As the title says, which pub do you drink in?

    I go in the railway every week, without fail. Have done for the last few years :thumb

    Royal Standard or more recently, thanks to the wider range of beer, the Devonshire Cat. Occasionally the cricketers too.

    DB, R+R has been renamed 'The Scholar', and has now been painted green on the outside. :laugh:

    I normally go in The Crown on London Road, or occasionally the Sheaf.

    The Railway is on Bramall Lane, it is not near any railway line really at all. It has always puzzled me.

    I think you mean The Howard, which is opposite the station.

    Yeah, it's just up from The Cricketers, past all the dodgy used car lots. It is a proper dump really, I think the only thing of value in their is a very faded signed photo of Glynn Hodges on the wall.

    If you went in and actually got a drink I am seriously impressed, because it is tiny and there is usually 300 people crammed in there. Now that's what I call perseverence.

    I suppose if you go down past J.E. James' Cycles towards the Earl of Arundel and Surrey pub, there's a railway line there next to Halfords.

    The one over from the station is either the Howard or the Showrooms. Further up Howard st is all the student pubs, Globe etc.

    There's a couple of dodgy looking places on that walkway between the university and the Howard.

    Think the globe on there is it?

    Think? I find it unbelievable that that you do not know the name, previous name or location of every pub within a mile or two radius of the lane. :laugh: ;)

    How about, everyone, selecting a home game, probably one of next season's Premiership games, where we all meet up for a beer before the game? Or is that a bit of an internet geeky type of thing to do?
