Quote Norman Stanley Fletcher="Norman Stanley Fletcher"Green man and The Torch.
Only 2 I can remember.
Both overpriced & get far too full.'"
I don't think I have ever been inside The Torch in 20 years of going down to Wembley, maybe once to use the loo, but they were kicking fans out from congregating in the car park (and the coppers won't let you stand on the pavement) last year.
I remember the year, for a GB international at Wembley, when the landlord of The Torch had the brainwave of a dual-pricing system for the rugby fans (pay more) and the few regulars (pay less). Some Halifax (?) fans got wind of this and announced to everyone in the pub that the rugby guys were being fleeced ... All the rugby fans walked out en-mass and blockaded the entrance, basically telling any RL fans what was going on and that it wouldn't be a good idea to give that pub any custom. Inside, for a good couple of hours, was the barman and about half a dozen regulars, whilst there were about three thousand fans outside. It must have been like The Alamo inside. That pub must have lost a small fortune that day ....
