it's stupid, actually i tried going to pub last night but wasn't allowed in as i had an england shirt on
stupid nonsensical rules always annoy me but this one just made never want to go to that town again
by the way it's in a town with near 0 minorities and safe tory/right wing place, and the pub in question was a wetherspoons branch :mad: and this was a pub, not a bar or club or anything like that
all i did was want to go to the pub and have some cold drinks and chat to my mates
bahhhh it's stupid indiscriminate rules like this that piss me off
ps in the end my mate drove us lot back to homw town where we went the local dive and had a good time :thumb:

it's the people who run wtherspoons who are knobs then, im coming to conclude
dont see how it translates as BNP votes though
yup :thumb:
just how can they justify such stupid policies? i swear wetherspoons is almost becoming famous for it
A lot of pubs ban football shirts.
only stupid poncy ones
the ones that don't, don't have any fights near me, nor are they NF homes, actually the one we landed up last night is run by a friendly but assertive sikh famuily who kicks people out at 1st sign of trouble, which is good, but they dont have any stupid clothing bans
Luke - why more BNP votes? I don't see how this comment bears any relevance?
It's Luke going on his 'I masturbate over the BNP, I love Nick Griffin' drivel again.
Its common practise to ban football shirts to stop local fans rioting with each other and it works well in practise. Maybe this paticular branch of Wetherspoons is branding itself as a World Cup free zone or something like that?
If someone tries to enter the pub in an French, Spanish or even Iranian football shirt they'd be told the same thing. Give it a break, you're a piss poor one-trick pony.
You are odd! I like you, can he be the board pet? And we like, feed him under the table?!
And well... our 'Spoons was showing the game yesterday, no idea if they banned shirts or not. I went to the Cinema instead, and got mighty high.
But anyway. I don't really care at the end of the day. It's only a shirt, and wearing a shirt is hardly patriotism in any way. It doesn't affect you - just wear a different one.
But, does seem a tad odd.
Think he's on Probation or something. At the rate he's going, shouldn't take long.
Who's not allowing who to be patriotic? I see plenty of St George's flags in windows and on cars in London.
The thing is that a lot of football fans are rowdy, they seem to think that people walking down the street give a shit about how their team did. I was sitting by the Thames last night and could hear them fro the other side, they were yelling and drinking and swimming. Then there's the fights... In North Wales last year we had helicopters and riot police on standby for the England vs Wales match.
The problem is a few small people who spoil it for everybody else.
For the record, I'd rather ahve a quiet drink than have a bunch of pissed up noisy boys spoiling my time. Granted not everybody who weards an England shirt is like this, but a lot are.
but why should i be punished, i weren't ranting on about football, and the pub was full of loud mouth twats anyway, i was just wearing my lucky shirt that i wore for the match earlier
assuming people who wear football shirts are all violent loud idiots is discrimination, im quite a passive fan
it's a pub for fucks sake, not a bar or anything, its for people to relax in and have a drink with friends, not a flashy bar or anything
the area i was visiting with my local friends was romford, the only nonwhite english works in the club toilets it seems
i know itys nothing to do people being allowed to be patriotic, its about stopping someone entering for what they're wearing, it wasnt offensive in anyway, it was just what i happened to be wearing
have people here noticed that places with specific dress codes tend to get more violent people in them as all you need to to get in is wear the right clothing - the pub i went after had people who like football, hate football, supported england, who support others and in one of dodgiest places in east london, and it was friendly there also
Who exactly is stopping who being patriotic?
Who are 'they'?
Who are they? Who are they stopping being patriotic? In what ways?
Which ones? Specific examples....with sources.
