Well, if they are then it isn't in any of the main pubs in town because I suspect we'd have seen them at some point.

Loads of them will still live at home, there's a larger than normal percentage of local students, you don't get masses of youngsters coming from all over the country to live in Wolverhampton. It's not like a Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds, Bristol, York etc. Never has been.

I know every pub in town to some extent or other. I can guarantee you that none of them focus on students, not in the slightest.

Fair enough if you frequent them nowadays.
In fairness if you were from outside of Wolverhampton you wouldn't want to be coming to live here full stop! Not in the areas around the centre anyway.
I see you are from Bilbrook. It's a nice part of Wolves. I live in the Ghetto. It's not pretty..

The Hatherton did for a while, the poor fuckers

You see a fair number of students in Boho. Never seem to see them in places like the Western.

It's right in the heart of the student area, so i guess they thought it would help the takings in the week.

There used to be way more student friendly places though, and this is going back a bit but places like the Dorchester and Screamers was pretty much students. The Varsity & London, as you said, were trying to cater for that crowd. My memory gets a bit hazy but it felt like late 90s / early 2000s had loads of places for students.

My social life in wolves pretty much revolved around the varsity, royal London and the student union in those days.

The Goal Post had a spell where they tried to be a student pub. Didn't last long.

My hair has grown out a bit since I last added to this thread...



Almost 30 and I still look like a kid. I might even look younger than I did in the pic I posted all of 7 years ago now.

EDIT: sorry for the sizing; editing photos on Mac eludes me.

[Alan]

You look way tougher than I imagined!

It's not a student pub really, nowhere is in town.

The Varsity has been closed since about 2007

I think I was in there around Jan 2010. We used to go there and the Hogs Head before we used the forum and started meeting you lot in the Western or the London

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm in the same boat as you Gav, dropped a load of weight, none of my clothes fit me properly.

I'm sure people think I'm either seriously ill or I've acquired a strong heroin habit, neither of which are the case.

That’s the one thing that was fucking me over, my clothes were all massive. I had to take a punt on those fucking jeans as I couldn’t try them on and got lucky. I could have dropped another waist size but the legs would have cut off my circulation I think. Why don’t most shops cater for old fuckers?!

I did have one advantage over you, I was massively overweight so when I lost it all I didn’t look ill or addicted to smack, just normal with a bit of middle aged spread!
