rovertakenmb Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Got 10 complimentary books put a-side for Top 10 Rovers pubs. Went to send them out and I realised (including Darwen, Accy, Great Harwood, etc) I don't actually know what the top 10 Rovers pubs are. Thought it might make an interesting thread... How's about Aqueduct and Havelock to start!

rovertakenmb Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Fox & Hounds? At Lammack? Went in there when Rovers beat Fulham 4-0 and Hakan Suker scored 2. Was packed full of Rovers fans that night. Anyone know if it is still a big Rovers pub?
chris_h Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 The Rose & Crown in Ossy has run many a coach to away games and the pool room is decorated with pictures of Rovers heroes from bygone days.

rovertakenmb Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 The Rose & Crown in Ossy has run many a coach to away games and the pool room is decorated with pictures of Rovers heroes from bygone days. Nice one. Can feel a Rovers pub crawl coming on here. I might book Monday off work. Just thought of another few near Ewood - Uncle Jacks, I know Mill Hill Club gets busy, does anyone go in Ewood WMC (been in a few times and it is usually fairly busy)? Brown Cow? Manxman? A few people near me go in Railway Club next to that minging bridge that takes you from Gally to B&Q! What's that like? Looks good from outside now they have done it up! Gonna be hard to narrow it down to 10! It's the hare and hounds in lammack The station at cherry tree is the best Rovers pub IMO Ha,ha! Oh yeah - Fox and Hounds!
T.J.Newton Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Like anybody in the Manxman can read .
redroses Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I sometimes go in the Manxman before the game as I park up that way and I couldve sworn it was shut on the evening of the Hull game. I can vouch for the Rose and Crown for being a Rovers majority but Ossy is a mixed bag for football fans and with the Rose and crown being a popular pub it attracts the full range of football fans.
Steve Kean's Hypnotoad Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Wamsley in Rishton, might not make the top 10 but should make the top 20. Rovers pictures, few handy lads go away games, great following on the box.
rovertakenmb Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 What about Great Harwood and Accy?
Ossydave Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I wouldn't say anywhere in Accy is a rovers pub its just a mix of fans.
Doug Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 There used to be a pub in St.Minver (near Padstow!!). I visited it in the 80's, was owned by a retired army officer. I called in a few times and he was a complete Rovers nut, (and bought me a few pints). Photo's on the wall, Rovers slogan on the cig machine. He must have passed away now and I presume it isn't a Rovers shrine anymore, but, it would get into my top 10!
The_Expert Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 The Orange Tree, Lower Richmond Road, Richmond Surrey. Landlord was a Rovers fan some years ago and I've always had a decent time there..
EwoodDawn Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Fenny Club (sorry Feniscowles Cricket Club) has a good Rovers contingent. The station at cherry tree is the best Rovers pub IMO Shame about The Bee Hive just opposite - Landlord Manc fan.
Ste B Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I wouldn't say anywhere in Accy is a rovers pub its just a mix of fans. Or Ossy to be honest.
Ossydave Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 True, no idea where this impression that the crown is a rovers pub has come from, its an enterprise inn full of people who want a cheap pint now, simple as!
ABBEY Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 It's the hare and hounds in lammack The station at cherry tree is the best Rovers pub IMO Was in there yesterday and they sell a beer called KEAN OUT
West Aussie Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 The Rover's Return (Douglas, Isle Of Man)Bushy's Ale of Man,has a small room dedicated to BRFC,Martin's a big Rovers fan and a nice guy. http://www.bushys.com/the-rovers-return/
Gav Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 The fieldens arms at Feniscowles is a Rovers pub, some great pictures on the walls. Jubilee was a great pub in its day, a bit edgy but a proper Rovers pub, sadly not anymore.
Ste B Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 True, no idea where this impression that the crown is a rovers pub has come from, its an enterprise inn full of people who want a cheap pint now, simple as! It used to be when Angela had it ten years or so ago, when Ste used to run coaches. Its also been a crap boozer since Neil and Julie left.
Mike Graham Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Try the Nabs Head at Salmesbury. It has just been taken over by Michael Worden who was bar manager at the a Royal Oak at Riley Green. Michael is a big fan and has some Rovers stuff in the back room including a signed photo I gave him from Roque Santa Cruz saying "To Michael, with best wishes". Decent Thwaites beers and worth supporting as long as you are of the "Kean and Venkys Out" camp. KEAN OUT!
colb Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 There used to be a pub in St.Minver (near Padstow!!). I visited it in the 80's, was owned by a retired army officer.

He must have passed away now and I presume it isn't a Rovers shrine anymore, but, it would get into my top 10! I live in Bodmin and recently started work in St Minver. Work colleagues have told me that the 'Fourways' has a landlord who is a Rovers nut. I will check this out as soon as possible and update.
Backroom trueblue Posted September 16, 2012 Backroom Posted September 16, 2012 EWMC is packed with Rovers fans on match days
Backroom Tom Posted September 16, 2012 Backroom Posted September 16, 2012 Is uncle jacks no longer run by rovers fans?
LDRover Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Is uncle jacks no longer run by rovers fans? Landlord is a Man City season tkt holder.
