Re: Worst Pub In Brum
Fat BuddhaThe FlyCBA scrolling through this lot, but has anyone mentioned the Speedwell on Stockfield Rd? Me and 6 or 7 of my mates used to go in on a Friday night as 16/17 year olds, go to our usual corner and get absolutely hammered. No one bothered us and there were some seriously scary people in there back then...
I used to go to the speedwell, to be honest i never got that impression of being wary in there, saying that i know there was a massive fight between some hells angels and the punters in there, think it was front headlines of the evening vile < mail >
I was there the night of that scrap a Wednesday night disco. It had started on the Friday when a bloke called J.G had his arm broke in the boozer by the 1 terminus in Acocks Green.
There were dozens of greboes and town types turned up for the scrap that weren't usually there. Apart from that it was usually OK in there
That could have been the Acocks Green mob of most of them.
It was. I knew most of em, and a good number from Hall Green. I knew the bloke who threw the first punch, off Mayfield Rd as were quite a few, he was the same bloke who launched a brick at a load of Leeds fans in Leppings Lane in 1972 and only managed to brain a Blues fan.
3 went to jail after that scrap, including a guy from Mayfield Rd
