Newcastle has the Three Bulls Heads and The Strawberry which are pretty much NUFC haunts 365 days of the year. |  |

It’d be a great idea as long as topics on the General board are off limits! I’ve not heard or seen anything like it in the UK, only match day pubs. |  |

The Moot Hall near Leeds station has evolved into a Leeds United theme pub. If you stand still for long enough they'll paint you yellow and white. |  | |  |

Exactly. No football this weekend, but the side room was full of Schalke regulars. A proper Schalke pub, with a seat permanently reserved for a club legend who died back in 1990, along with his portrait and a candle which, I can only assume, is lit on anniversaries. |  |

That sounds great. It’d be an easy enough thing to organise via a few announcements on social media. The hard part would be picking somewhere relevant. |  |
