I thought that was only a policy we enforced when playing St Mirren to give the manchild Div something to cry about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. We tried to negotiate to let the Swiss out for a smoke at the last home game and it was a hard no. What is particularly silly about it is that if you're in hospitality you can stand at the front door and smoke until your heart attack arrives but those plebs in the fan bar can f**k off if they want the same privilege. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go out to smoke and come back in, fairly regularly. Along with a Peterhead fan mate of mine whenever they're in town. You just walk out the door beside the club shop into the main stadium entrance, stand outside and smoke and then back in again. That's always been the case for the circa 20 years I've been going.

Genuinely refuse me every time I've asked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no-one man's that door. I've never once been challenged on it.

The front door to the club, there certainly is someone manning it and they've told me on numerous occasions we can't get out, as recent as the last home game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of old man style pubs there too but other than that it's the Rock Bowling club or the stadium. Depends what you're after really. If you're a smoker don't go to the stadium as they won't let you out (well they will, you'll just need to pay to get in again). Cheers. Looks like the pubs around the High St are all fairly close to each other so will check out more than one if time allows. Good to have options close to the stadium. Any of them have a beer garden if by some miracle it's dry and sunny on Saturday? Edited April 10 by RutherGlen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Is Dumbarton rock open yet? Thinking of heading along early and taking the wee man a wander up to burn off some energy, so he'll sit through a game of football peacefully for once. Weather permitting of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No beer gardens at the bowling club or stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I believe the castle is open. Forecast for Saturday is windy with rain showers though, so bring an anchor with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Is the Lennox pub still in existence ? We used to drink in there (upstairs I think) after rugby training about 40 years ago. That was with Dumbarton Rugby Club before the merger that formed Vale of Leven Rugby Club. Kinda showing my age a bit ...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee lounge upstairs was run by a very pleasant woman called Ruth back in the day. I take it you were a teammate of Ian McGregor, Dougie Lockhart, Malky King, 'Joe' Benton and Alistair Kerr, to name a few ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the corner on the Old Bridge is The Glencairn, small & more food orientated though, carry on over the bridge and there's The Waverely, darts, pool, Sky tv etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those names aren't familiar, but I only played there for a year or so around 1984 or 1985. I got a serious shoulder injury and had to quit. At my age remembering names from away back is problematic ! Todd Smith (?) was one I think, and I remember 'Guddy' who mainly captained the B team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
