Weird - We always went to the Bulldog when i was at college.

Steak and chips - Check
Pool and darts - Check
Dodgy bloke offering stolen stuff from a binbag - Check

As for the others, I've only ever been to the Shield :?

I actually did the night out for that piece my mate wrote it!  All good fun, I never diud the bulldog when at college but the repuatation we were given led us to believe it would be good, not hugely impressed with it myself though.  The biggest disappointment was one or two in the Wescott place area, no people in them at all!

I used to leg it there for a quick pint in the middle of my 3 hour lessons. Often didn't come back.

The guy from the article suggested it, I guess it was due to it's footy history, tbh a timid kinda place on a non match day.  The itinary was sort of pre destined, sort of random as we drove past places.
