Uncle Joe
Popped into the Crown and Kettle Saturday afternoon 17/11/12 1pm the plan was to have a couple of beers with my sister and a meal before going to watch Man City playing Aston Villa I am a city fan. I had travelled over from Birmingham for the day where I now live and was waiting at the pub for my sister who was working at miles platting library. I walked in the pub asked for half of bitter and the bar man turned me down straight away after sizing me up and down first. He said that they did not allow trainers in the pub. I remonstrated with him and showed that I was infact wearing a pair of walking boots but he just sneared at me and said that they were the same as walking boots. I looked arounnd the pub and noticed it was quiet only a few people were in watching the Tottenham v Arsenal game but when looking at the foot wear of others I noticed some blokes were wearing what I would class as casual suede type trainers. I think the real reason if truth be known was that this bar man was a man united fan and obviously had some major predjudices against city fans. I had visited there a few weeks earlier before another city game and united were on the tv playing Liverpool nothing was said to me on that occasion yet I was wearing trainers then. It is such a shame that a nice morning planned with my sister who had visited the pub on other occasions and recommended it for a get together on saturday had been ruined by a jobs worth/ predjudiced idiot. I am a totally respectable 52 year old teacher who just happens to support city and wears a pair of boots to ward off the cold of the day. I wont be going there again and whilst I was in there I did not notice anything about footwear!!! Disillusioned blue!!
