I prefer a proper local myself where the beer is well kept and looked after, but I have used Wetherspoons from time to time and they are OK for a swift couple of pints and/or somewhere to meet up to move on elsewhere. I would be concerned if too many 'spoons crop up in any given location that would drive others out of business. I take it you are a Voodoo Jazz Hat kind of guy ?

With the exception of The Sportsman who sponsored our shirt a couple of years ago, does any of the the other establishments around the ground where Rovers fan drink on match days give anything back to the club in terms of advertising in match programs or other ways etc?

No, I don't touch Fosters, whatever it's served in. Interestingly I think the Black Lodge Brewery in Liverpool did produce a Voodoo Jazz Hat beer, whether that was before or after the Fosters ad, I don't know. I prefer a nice hoppy Longmans Brewery 'Longe Blonde' myself. Edit - Found it:

Bring on the Spoons, offers value for money, and a great ambience in-which to enjoy a few pints before a match; fed up with left-wing morally superior ***** telling the majority what is right for them. It's political correctness gone mad! lol

Could take income away from the football club on match days. Income we get now we have the new bars has gone up ten times.

The people of Gloucester Road will oppose just about anything. I would say it needs a Weatherspoons as most of the actual pubs on Glos Rd are pretty terrible with possibly the Sportsman (which isn’t on Glos Rd anyway) being the exception.
There are some excellent cafes and restaurants but they won’t suffer, because the people that use them won’t want to use the Spoons and won’t want footy fans or the the type of clientele that frequent a spoons in their greenpeace space anyway.
It’s opposition for opposing sake really. They all need to get a life.

If they just upped and left, then Bristol could be the most prosperous city after London, instead of just settling for being the most prosperous city after London.

It also will disrupt the culture of local businesses along Gloucester Road. I get it.

I suppose it would be ok on Weekends and special occasions, I wouldn’t want to make a habit of it though. There’s a lot of day left after 9am.

A cold chicken dhansak at 9:30 on a Sunday morning, scraped off last night's plate, where the rice has gone all crispy and hard, is the ideal start to the day. So a friend told me.

If you your friend needs to talk to someone, you can find me in the Spoons at 10am. I’ll be the fat bast@rd in the corner under a pile of flakey pastry

Our Victorian ancestors (the wealthier ones) commonly ate kedgeree for breakfast.... Curried haddock, boiled eggs and rice served cold.... It actually works....
