My only previous visit to this part of the world was for a game at Fratton Park in February 1984 (won 4-1 Keegan and Beardsley with 2 goals each) That was just a fleeting visit, so this was really the first chance to explore the pubs. I starting the day in Havant (when I saw Gateshead beat H&W 1-0) followed by a night out in Southsea and Portsmouth. I completed 19 pubs through the day, which included eleven 2019 GBG's and 4 'Spoons.

Pub Skip!

Skipton in North Yorkshire has a large selection of boozers, including current and past GBG pubs and of course the local 'Spoons. I was totally blootered after our night out, ticking off 13 pubs before staggering back to our digs.
