Well, Brilliant. Just brilliant. Love the place. What a lovely ground for a start! All the locals were polite and helpful and friendly and welcoming. Arrived a bit later than planned and so headed to the Waverley where it has to be said the gooooorgeous barstaff made up for the beer being a little on the cold side. Then London Pride in the club which is more than you get in most places - and they didnt make you waste it by supping it up quickly before going out to watch the game - actually trusting one to be sensible!  And what a great place to watch football! Brilliant stuff - love it  |

Burger Regis is a little gem of a ground - and the only one which allows the discerning fan to take beer out on the terrace.

I love Burger Regis too, even if I don't remember my last visit very clearly (apart from the falling over bit)  Daza, did you manage to try the famous magical burgers? |

Another thumbs up for Bognor here, expect I mentioned them on the friendly clubs thread. Was chucking it down with rain last time we were there, hardly outside drinking weather, but had to have some London Pride on the terraces, just because I could!

Definitely a place best visited at the start or end of a season when there's some decent weather to enjoy. (Bognor can be a bit desolate in winter.) As well as the attractions already noted, Bognor Regis FC also has one of the best pitches at that level. And Sutton nearly always get a result there. |

They're coming to us on Saturday, and we head down there on 3rd Jan. Not an ideal time to visit, and I bet the Met advise the local plod to ban beer from the terraces.

I would be surprised if beer is banned from the terracing - it's really only feasible at the one end of the ground anyway - and should it be a segregated match, it would make sense to give YOU that end, as it's bigger! ;D BR came unstuck against Newport a couple of years ago; the Welsh decided to mark the anniversary of the death of one fan by going on a rather well publicised trashing of ground and town. You have numbers not idiots, Meadow - and I would hope that the BR plod go on advice from other Sussex clubs in terms of restrictions from seasons past, rather than act for the hell of it. You are a little stymied if there is a ban - the nearest DECENT pub is a fair walk away! |

I love the way people seem to think the Met are the ones who ban drink and shove wombles around. It's nearly ALWAYS the local force shitting it.

I love the way people seem to think the Met are the ones who ban drink and shove wombles around. It's nearly ALWAYS the local force shitting it. We do have a 'history' though (Bromley). And the Met and other forces do liaise. In fact we had a few Met at the Newport match. OK it's mainly other forces making the decisions, but they get the input. |

I think it needs to be said that the idiots from Newport who went on their little destruction spree were only a tiny minority of their fanbase.
