Each to their own but I'm not a fan, dislike the owner and those Brexit beer mats etc. Begrudgingly have a couple in the Thomas Frost after the match when I'm in the UK while waiting for the traffic to die down but not through choice, it's where my mates go now the Queens is closed down.

When I'm at the match I'm on holiday and have foreign currency to spend so can justify a more 'hipster' choice of pub. If I lived in the UK the low cost of Wetherspoons might well appeal.

Where I live it's around $15 a pint which is approx 8 quid, loads more expensive than most Liverpool pubs.
 

Swindon is the lowest of the low, as a place. It's as close to the US inbred mid west, grass sucking Cletus demographic that you csn get, in my experience. However, Ive never had a bad pint or a bad experience * in a weatherspoons in Swindon, my nearest town.

In fact last week it was my birthday (thanks for nothing Joey) and I strolled in with a mate and they were offering 5 beers from Oakham brewery - consistently my favourite brewer, and quite rare in these parts. Oh happy day!

*went in there new years day about 20 years ago. Me and a mate (same one in fact) in one corner, 3 blokes in the opposite corner, 2 ladies sat somewhere in the middle and 1 bar staff on duty. It's formerly a cinema - and a pretty massive one at that, so you can imagine how quiet it was. Proper tumbleweed silence.

A full on fight broke out. (Not me).

A lot to deal with here.

A lot.

!

What's Swindon done chris? [double space] how is it like the us let alone the 'inbred mid west'?
Happy birthday for last week. HB in fact.
Who won, the two ladies or the three blokes down the way? A bar in a cinema sounds like the best footy screening venue I can imagine, them torch girls doing the aisles knocking out snuff, vodka and ice creams.

If your mate was chucking hay makers and you weren't backing him up, sadly, it's you that's suspect here. Well, more suspect.

An extra reason I like a weatherspoons - can't bare background music- gets in the way of discussion. There are plenty of people who struggle to hear when there's background noise.
