Latics and England Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Getting away from the gloom for a few minutes... As many of you will be aware, we have organised a boat from Tower Bridge to Fulham for the cup game. Full details can be found on the event's Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/events/2258930561019433/?ti=cl There are still a few tickets available if you are interested. It's £15 each and there will be a DJ and bar on board. We leave Tower Bridge at noon and will be at Putney for 1pm. You can board the boat from 11.45 but I believe they can't start serving until we leave. There should be plenty of time to make it if you are on the 8.05 or 8.20 train from Piccadilly. Dave Thomas is doing the organising and his details can be found on the link if you have Facebook. If not, he will try to respond to people on this thread. It should be a great way to get to the game and we'll make sure the DJ knows what's required to get us in the mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never agreed with the common myth that Leonard's depressing. You got me singing - could be a Latics supporters anrthem.

I would be interested and probably my son Mark too - but the link did not work for me. Do I need to be in a facebook group to get access?

It's payment to me via paypal/bank transfer in advance to secure tickets please so we can make sure we keep numbers tracked as the boat has strict capacity.

Latics and England Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 The boat is now full. Many thanks to everyone who has booked. 120 Latics fans floating down the Thames should be a great sight. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.

Latics and England Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Many thanks to everyone who has booked on the boat. We are now completely full so it should be a great day. A couple of housekeeping points: 1. We have been told that they have a strict policy that only booze purchased on board can be consumed onboard 2. This is a boat on the Thames. I know it goes without saying but absolutely no pyro please. Other than that, I hope you all have a fantastic day. If you want to put flags up that shouldn’t be a problem and the bar will be open as soon as we depart the pier. We need to leave Tower Pier at 12.00 sharp so please ensure you are there in plenty of time. If you are on a train into Euston, the nearest underground to the pier is Tower Hill which you can get to direct from Euston Sq on the circle line. Alternatively, if you get the Northern Line from Euston to Bank/Monument it should only be a 15 minute walk from there. For those of you getting there early there is the Liberty Bounds Wetherspoons and an All Bar One on Byward St which are open from 8am and 9am respectively. Both are only a 5 minute walk away from the pier. See you on Sunday Edited January 4, 2019 by Latics and England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveoafc80 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It’s just a standard hire-in from a company called Londonpartyboats. Boat is MV London Belle.

Dave_Og Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I bet when they made law about no booze on football coaches they never considered boats. Great effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
