Thank f*** for that. I’ll be able to go in the Star without it being rammed

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
Didn't realise The Salisbury was owned by the same people. Used to be one of my favourite haunts. The Albion was a great boozer too, before the Virgin Queen refit - it's true they've kept the structural and decorative integrity of the place without gutting it but it was a proper football pub and now it isn't, which is a real shame.

And it's reasonable to expect a similar outcome hereProposition Joe wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 12:20 pm Didn't realise The Salisbury was owned by the same people. Used to be one of my favourite haunts.

An asset to the Leyton Pub Scene. Is it not mostly used by Away Fans on Match Days?

It was never a pub in a million years, though I've heard the new owners are putting a Stannah Stair Lift down to the bogs.

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
Weirdly, when I lived near brick lane a few years back, the Albion was the closest pub I could find that showed football! Watched us lose to Hartlepool around 2014 in there at about midday as the only punter in the whole placeProposition Joe wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 12:20 pm Didn't realise The Salisbury was owned by the same people.

Think a few of us went there to follow our 2015 relegation via Soccer Saturday. Such an oddity that it was all West Brom but always seemed welcoming to fans of any club.

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
Good news. Here’s hoping the price structure is reasonable, as the Tech was miles more expensive than its neighbours.

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
The Technical got expensive at the end. I went in just before it closed and was charged just over a fiver for a pint of dirty dish water in a plastic glass and had to sit on ripped chairs with sticky tables.FrankOFile wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 11:03 pm Good news.

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
The long walk down a winding staircase to the bog put me off the place, terrible wait at bar too. I dodge places that have security on the door as a rule. Nothing would get me in there again.

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
If they need security, there are undesirable people going in there, plenty of other places around there to choose from. Top drawer place is our own Supporters Bar J. E. Stand of course if you can get in .FrankOFile wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 8:43 amWhat’s the problem with having security?Loin Cloth Lenny wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 1:49 pm The long walk down a winding staircase to the bog put me off the place, terrible wait at bar too.

Re: Leyton Technical - reopening as the Leyton Engineer
Security at a bar in a football ground is probably some sort of requirement. He has a good point about security guards outside pubs generally - they’re a sign that the clientele are likely to be lairy c***s.
Though if the security is only there for when there’s football fans, that’s fine

The kind of security who could be protecting Mothercare.

Have people never had a drink in a town centre on a weekend?

Yes. And places with security are pure poo poo, and a decent indication that I won’t have a good time there.
In my twenties? Maybe. Now? Nah, I’d probably walk past and look for somewhere else
