Apparently you had played Hereford a couple of weeks previously & they had trashed some of the pubs in town & they weren't risking anything happening again. Glad to hear things have changed now.

aaah the delights of Kettlebrook working mens club, I trust you got your £50 back without fuss? Were they still serving that Federation rubbish? at about £1.20 a pint?
Our first ever game in the Conference was Hereford at home on a barmy summer afternoon, they brought all the fruitcakes who caused a few problems at a few other places (most noteably Burton) before they all got caught and sent to one of Lizzies hotels. After that game the shutters went up for six months everywhere, even home fans couldn't get in to wetherspoons or yates's.
You shouldn't have any problem this year, but do note all the pubs i mention are quite small (even our wetherspoons ) so you may have difficulty if you get 40 of you all turning up at once, not least in getting the poor barmaids to get you served.
The latest thing around here is all the pubs are linked by radio so if any trouble does start anywhere you can bet the whole lot will be shut within two minutes and you will get a full Staffs Police escort, cctv riot van and all.
Hope you have a good journey down, will probably see you in one of the pubs before game
