That's a rule at most of them, when they're busy of the evening, the ones in Reading are the same, apparently its to facilitate serving customers and avoiding agro from people knocking into one another. In this one is because they had a bad report from a mystery shopper so the manager put a note up saying no standing between 12am and midnight. Its only busy in here on match days. Its dead the rest of the time. Attachment: WP_20150519_005.jpg (108.41Kb)

That's why I like the telegraph in Thornton Heath, not too expensive plus they don't put the price up on match days.

Oddly the 'Monks Retreat' and 'Hope Tap' both have a 'match day' ban on football fans. Reading does have two very large Witherspoon's pubs on the same street - One conversely near the courts and the other near the DHSS. The third is too far from the busses to the ground to care. The 'Hope Tap' is the most ill-named pub in England, it should be called the 'Slashed wrist' or 'Benefit Recycling facility' "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]
