you mean the regulars who have known each other at least 20 years ( don't all regulars get looked after in pubs they visit all the time )
Within reason, letting one person jump the queue is understandable but when there's a steady flow of people coming to the bar after you and getting served before you it gets a bit silly.
If only regulars who'd know each other 20 years went in then matchday wouldn't be so lucrative. The matchday customers who aren't regulars almost certainly enable the pub to stay in business for their regulars so a bit of fairness on matchday wouldn't go amiss imo.

You might find one as good but you won’t find one better!

No mate. Most of them weren’t even 20 years old. And no you don’t ignore everyone at the bar for a so called regular. That’s if you want people to come back of course.
For a pub that is apparently universally hated it sure gets packed on match days. I’ve been going in there pre-match for about 20 years and see the same faces all the time. I am sure there are many on here who would know me by sight, as I would them. As it’s predicted as the first pub to go, I wonder who all these regulars are getting served first? That’s apart from me of course, just have to snap me fingers at Yvonne
I don't hate it, I'm indifferent to it. And personally I think it's as much the customer who's being served before their turn who's to blame for this scandalous practice - if I'm at a bar and someone's been their longer than me I always point this out to the staff... basic manners really.
But yeah, nobody is forced to go in a pub like that and as you say plenty do choose to. That doesn't mean those who choose not to can't state their reasons on a thread about pubs near the ground does it?
Even though I do get “Bitter,Tom”, I will always point to someone if they were there before me. Many of the pubs may close when the ground move goes through, but they are all working together to see if there is something to be done with transport to the new gaffe
I've heard a few are looking at shuttle busses back and forth.
It's a nice idea but I can't see it lasting much beyond the first season. New routines will inevitably form.
Places like The Brick will only survive if they have enough regulars, not just matchday regulars.

Well I am a Friday afternoon man and the same 15-20 faces are always in there. It does have good relationships with supporters clubs who are visiting the pit. Rangers fans drank a river of Vodka in there last season
.Until some new places open up closer to the ground then I’m not sure what people will do.
Good luck to them, always a shame when a pub shuts down and all that's left of it is memories.

So other than the last few comments regards The Brick, it's an OK boozer?
Yeah, it's going to be odd.Well I am a Friday afternoon man and the same 15-20 faces are always in there. It does have good relationships with supporters clubs who are visiting the pit. Rangers fans drank a river of Vodka in there last season

Some. Have had the same routine for 60 odd years or more.
