A Beef Burger and a pint of ale seem to be becoming an important part of my pre-race nutrition plan for evening races. Since the Tumble Inn (Pontypridd) opened in about 2004 I've been keeping to track of which ones I have visited, and today's marks number 265. After the Fetch mile I was told that their might be other fetchies with an equal devotion to Wetherspoon spotting as to their other sporting achievements... ... so who is willing to admit to visiting one of Timothy Martin's J D Wetherspoon Free Houses?
