The Old Crown

Went here for the first time in a while after a Blues game .One of lads i go with his wife was ill so he drove and didn't come for a drink after the game .The other two cadged a lift with him so i was on my Jack Jones.I arranged to walk down to the Crown and meet my Mrs for a drink then on to town.So i wasn't rowdy , just sat chatting to some people next to us .They began serving booze in plastics cups , not because of trouble but because seemingly they didn't have enough washed glasses .I'm polite sober ( 1st drink of the day ) but found it hard to get served even though the initial mad rush had subsided after game.In fact i'd sat and waited for the rush to clear milking a pint purchased by my wife before my arrival.The staff seemed to want to serve other people but me .I had one drink a £6.50 one pour Guinness in a cheap plastic cup .It was dreadful .I accept the bar was busy , but a good bar person knows who is next .At one point a young lady turning to myself and other customers and said " who's next ?" catching her eye i began to give my order, only to be told "i don't serve that part of the bar only the corner it's not my section " turning away she stood there with her hand on her hips .Eventually serving another customer who walked through the door to the corner of the bar . I should gone out the door come back in and to the corner , i guess i'm not that quick witted .After ten minutes standing front and centre at the bar waiting to be served i gave up and went to the toilet .When i returned the young lady was serving a chap exactly where i had been previously standing lol.I approched the bar again stood politely trying to get served .At this point i was the only customer not served .A tall chap with earrings who had spent the five minutes since my return to the bar ignoring me turned my way , only to look over my shoulder to two women and ask them " what they want " as they approached the bar lol.I was made to feel very unwelcome , it spoiled my night/day a bit to be honest, but it's not worth kicking off .I guess i voted with my feet , and went to the Bull down the road .Then continued my night elsewhere .
