Cheers fella. Could one of those urban myths but plausible given that potential goldmine it could be if they get the timing right (Location to newly developed Station, New stadium and New Housing/Shopping all slated to get built).I've heard that too.
I never got why it closed.It always seemed to have a decent clientele in,even when we weren't playing.Cheers fella.

Fingers crossed it's a goer as would be great for choices for fans on match days and if open on weekdays (unlike Bill Nic) somewhere for the locals too.
Never been in there oddly. Out of interest when did it close? I can't ever remember it being open but admit that it has never been on my route to the stadium so rarely walked past it on match days. I knew a few people at Wedge Roofing many years ago but don't recall it open even then.I never got why it closed.It always seemed to have a decent clientele in,even when we weren't playing.
Hawthorns?
Which pub you referring to Sean?A good while back.I'd say 5 years, but knowing my brain,possible a few longer than that.
It was a big place,2 smaller bars and a barn of a place on the right as you look at it.Perfect for a football pub.
Bill Nicholson and Eddie Bailey use to go there post match when they were players.For that alone,it should reopen
The Railway.Thats what they were talking about wasn't it?...Not with it todayWhich pub you referring to Sean?
Hawthorns?
Me neither! I think the only redeeming feature the railway had was that it was obviously handy for the station.The Railway.Thats what they were talking about wasn't it?...Not with it today
It was also quite big, particularly the bit on the right.Me neither! I think the only redeeming feature the railway had was that it was obviously handy for the station.
Been a while since i was in there but i too remember two bars. Rare these days to have two bars, even the Brewers was 2 bars at one time. Now that is going back a bit. I reckon C will be pulling his hair out (if he had any) about these staduim delays.It was also quite big, particularly the bit on the right.
So would come in handy
The old players car park behind the west stand i think.
I didn't know about that bar? Was it a proper pub like effort?in the 70's you could wait outside that car park and see the players getting in their jam jars. If it was a shit game, wolves, burnley etc the old boy on the gate would sometimes let you in. I chatted to Jimmy Neighbour (rip) Willie Young, Meat Hook, John Pratt and Keith Osgood amongst others in there. There was a bar behind the red house that they used too and once when i did a combination game (reserves to you youngsters) midweek we sneaked in there and i had a pint with Mark Falco before we were sussed and we were ejected. Happy days.
it was like a clubhouse and it was up some metal stairs at the back of the red house opposite the car park looking out towards the high road. Yes from my distant memory the games were free yes. I did loads in the early 1970's and fortunately still have the programmes (and the anorak). You could hear the players shouting which made for a surreal 'atmosphere', a bit like the Emirates today.I didn't know about that bar? Was it a proper pub like effort?
Hopefully some old photos exist of that.
Combination games were free weren't they?
May mate often tells a tale of him and a few of his mates having a mud fight with Mark Kendall during a combination game.
