Are there any bars/pubs in the town or city of the team that you support ban HOME fans from its establishment?

Well this is absolutely pathetic..

    They weren't banned as such, the bar just chose not to show the game which is fair enough.

    Football caused violence and arrests at their establishment, the management then decide not to bother with football any longer.

    Seems pretty fair logic to me. This quote says a lot:

    “I just cannot believe that the town centre’s main sports bar is refusing to support our club the way the rest of the town is.”

    Right, it's being shown everywhere else. Go there.

    Seems fair enough if they want to cut their noses off to spite their faces. Swindon Town will have almost 40,000 at Wembley next week, they should make sure that thats 40,000 potential customers who won't frequent that establishment in future.

    Maurice Macleod, said he had no other choice in the matter because it usually costs more for the bar to hire security than they make showing the match.

    I think they'll do without the 40000 that don't go in their pub.
