Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 997 Posted August 25, 2016 Blimey, that shut years ago, now an undertakers run by the Allcock Family of Norwich City fame..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC198 2 Posted August 26, 2016 It''s all boarded up so does not look much like an undertakers The door was open a few months ago and I could see that the bar was still in place and seemed to be some works going on. Would be good if it re opened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 997 Posted August 26, 2016 I was talking about the Cricketers Arms on the corner of Lindley St and City Rd, the boarded up pub is the Cricketers Rest which is on the corner of Hall Rd and Queens Rd. My comment was tongue in cheek as the OP did not say which Cricketers Rest. As an aside I see the Roti Indian/Bangledeshi restaurant is looking rather sorry for itself, trying to think what the pub on that site was called......

Baywing 0 Posted August 26, 2016 I was referring to the Cricketers Arms (as thread title suggests)Used to be directly opposite the supermarket which was behind the away supporters enclosure....must be 10 yrs since I was last at St Andrews !Take the same result this trip though.....if I recall correctly we won 1-0 with Jason Shackell scoring the only goal midway through the second half.So the question remains where are we drinking Saturday Lunchtme ?
