‘Memories of Abbey and East Barnwell’:The Globe pub, which had been a popular local, became a problem during the 1980s as supporters gathered there, and this inevitably led to ‘trouble’ on match days. Eventually the pub was forced to stop trading on match days, which of course, damaged their trade, and finally it closed.
