northeast Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Travelling down from Newcastle for this one, crashing at a pal's in London. Is there any pre-match meet arranged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I can't make it, unfortunately. I've got 3 games to go to this month as it is. Some of the other roustabouts will be in attendance, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downender2 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) there will only be a few hardy souls turning out for this one...be interested to know if and when something is arranged..not the best ground to be walking up on your tod..

northeast Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 not the best ground to be walking up on your tod.. My first visit. The pal who's putting me up is a Millwall fan and I've managed to coax another lad into coming too. Safety in numbers. Is it THAT bad there these days? We're landing around 2ish at Paddington. Coming via Reading because I get free travel on CrossCountry trains. So we'll be starting there and prob working our way across London towards Borough/London Bridge area to meet the said Millwall fan (he works near Victoria somewhere). If anyone fancies it, PM me over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it THAT bad there these days? Apart from the standard policy of looking out of the window and not speaking on the train back after winning there it’s not a big deal really. Always a certain element of tension on the platform but in truth there are loads of coppers around and cameras everywhere, it’s more about them enjoying knowing that they are making you a triffle uneasy than that you are actually going to get kicked in. Let’s face it, they are NEVER going to be more pissed off at us than they were after Hughes destroyed them and we got out alive from that one... Pubs round Borough High Steet and the short train journey down are definitely the way to go, I will be travelling in to go back out again rather than potentially joining the trains or underground bringing them in from the outlying chav towns in Kent where they all live now.

latic12345 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It's looking like I will be in Telford with work. Pain in the arse living in London and not being in London for a game that would literally take 8 mins to get to from work Nevermind... tomorrow will now be a biggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suggesting the Southwark Tavern on Borough High Steet/Southwark Street as a potential meeting venue. I'm there straight after work.

Is it THAT bad there these days? Just dont say you support Gillingham when a load of Millwall ask you "who you support" or sing "Oh Lancy Lancy" in the middle of hundreds of them, like a couple of lads I know have in recent years.

I was in there last month, not a bad pub and will give us a bit of extra time rather than going on down the the George where we’ve ended up the last few times. I have suggested it to the OASIS massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have suggested it to the OASIS massive. The George is strictly for the tourists, pricey and comparatively difficult to find. Southwark Tavern has a good selection of beers, etc. and a large outdoor area where we can sun ourselves before the impending trip to sullen South Bermondsey.
