According to the terms of his contract with United, if the club were to secure promotion in any of the three seasons after his arrival, they would immediately and without delay give him a pub. So at the end of the 1924-25 season Barson was handed the keys to the George & Dragon in Ardwick. On his opening night the bar was so busy, with many fans seeking the attention of Barson himself, that within an hour he told the barman he could keep the place and fled, never to return.
