wobblybob50 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Vic, Royal and Rose Inn were always called in on our way up to Wednesday home games. Used to go up regularly on friday nights starting in Rose across to Cambridge to see Brian Firth the landlord then carry on up to pubs around Bradfield Road. Good times, sadly missed.
