On your own

i might move south for a few weeks........... 😉

ton, there's a pint with your name on it if you're ever down this way!

Ton - you know what the Inn Keeper said to Mary and Joseph? 😉

oooh, a world cup free zone, sounds like heaven to me!
Don't do roundball in our house!

I love the feeling of appreciating almost all sporting endeavour. It must be terrible being wound up by football. If you are, and it matters that much, then you're in for a shit few weeks 🙂

You can join us at [url= http://www.theravenofbath.co.uk ]The Raven[/url] for a football free pub in Bath.

CAMRA Bath City Pub of the year 😆

dd, england will be out in a few weeks........... 😆

Ooh, the Raven! One of my faves in Bath! Good news! Tim, just spotted this link on your interwebsite - http://www.teamraven.co.uk/ Will have to talk bikes next time I'm there!

So, what other havens of non-wendyball are there?

Darcy, it's not about being "wound up by football", more wanting a place to escape the endless and terminally boring hyperbole that surrounds the whole thing!

Competition must have been thin on the ground Tim 😉

Jeebus... 🙄

I could say the same thing once the Ashes start. But, it's just not that much of an issue.

Darcy, when the Ashes starts, we will not be bombarded by promotions in every shop that could be even slightly related to sport, nor will every TV channel be flooded with cricket.

We'll just have the gentle sound of leather 'pon willow on Test Match Special. And that's just fine with me!

Is all the media attention any worse for footie than the endless reality tv singing/talent/dancing shows and big brother type programmes
Count the hours of soaps everyday, far more than a bit of football for three weeks every four years (not counting the euros)

Non footie fans are nearly as self righteous as ex smokers, lots of people enjoy the ball kicking so what's wrong with that

Nothing really wrong with it, just that some of us would rather like to escape it all and sadly there are fewer and fewer places which allow such an escape!

I'd imagine that more people are interested in football than voted for the current government 😯

Cricket is the Green Party!

Nothing really wrong with it

From your many comments about it, I don't believe you me old mucker. Go on, tell us how you really feel. Don't hold back now 🙂

OK, I'd happily see it banned! 🙂

And btw, I'm sure Tim at The Raven knows I'm taking the pish. It is indeed a fine fine pub.

There, there. Bet you feel better now.

I don't think one pint will be enough

The Raven is a lovely pub, with a lovely array of beers. Must organise a weekend down in Bath at some point

Excellent Flashheart that Cask Pub is spitting distance from Victoria Station. I reckon if I jump on a fast train from East Croydon, I could be there in less than half hour.

Do they sell Carlsberg ?

As most pubs are likely to be heaving during the World Cup it would nice to know a pub with an easy accessible bar - where you can get quickly tanked up, before moving onto one with entertainment.

And I could pop in afterwards for a couple of swift ones, before staggering back to Victoria for a kebab.
Will you be there most evenings ?

Sorry had to go to work after Posting last night.

Deadly you're a cheeky get! How are you? Haven't seen you in ages.

Anyone else give us a shout when you're in town, be good to put faces to user names 😆

is the raven the place that doesn't sell lager? I remember a place in bath (not right in the centre) that had a sarcastic sign outside saying they didn't sell fosters 🙂

this one looks like it's footy free 🙄
