Bored as f*ck here tonight so let's start a thread on the good old Sandfields pubs and a story attached to each of them and the Swans /The Vetch/Away fans etc.
Many have closed over the years but as a Sandfields boy myself I have some wonderful memories of these warm, welcoming ale houses (if you were a Swans fan anyway!) and the colourful characters who frequented them.
A Sunday lunchtime pub crawl through the Sandfields was always a pleasure to behold with my mates in the early 1980's ; cockles cheese pickles nuts & crisps on the bar to dip into 'on the house' ; very hygienic all this after peeing in the Gents after 10 pints too !!
God there must be loads of stories over the years, the pubs may have come and gone but the memories will last a lifetime.....
The Garibaldi - Joe Cleary/John the Bank (Everton fan too) / Philly James ....
Outside there for the Swans v Hull game in 2003 to stay in the League was the most tense atmosphere I've known around the Vetch.
The Clarence - one game v Stoke home me & my mate were late leaving before kick off when about 50 riot police turned up & surrounded the pub and didn't let us out ...bizarre !!
Always Remember watching the 1985 snooker World Final at the Gari Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis in the early hours when a 'lock-in' with the curtains closed really meant something !!

After surviving Dubai & Qatar and being on the same plane as Leon Britton, Stacko & Boxer a few times it’s such a surreal world I thought I’d bump up this thread …. Memories eh !!!! | |
