Pie Eater Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 There you have it Garrp, you are being informed where to drink on your own manor, sweet Gov. When did I tell him where to drink? All I said is that's my plan as I don't see any more appealing options. More than happy to be set right if there's somewhere decent where folk are heading, hence me posting it on here Christ, some folk on here are touchy Quote
Carlos Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 There are a couple of half decent pubs near Euston Thinly veiled I'm off to the Flying Scotsman. Quote
Pie Eater Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Thinly veiled I'm off to the Flying Scotsman. I said 'decent' pubs. That said, I'm working off extremely vague directions so fuck knows where I'll actually end up Quote
Garrp Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Pie why don't you come and meet some of the wanderersways lot? Seriously Euston is fucking shit Quote
Exiled Girl Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Pie why don't you come and meet some of the wanderersways lot? Seriously Euston is fucking shit Bree Louise is good. Or it was when I was last there about 18 months ago Edited February 11, 2014 by Exiled Girl Quote
no balls Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Bree Louise is good. Or it was when I was last there about 18 months ago a front room full of beardy types with cloudy cider but by Christ the pies looked lovely Quote
gonzo Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Holloway will have us Sussed already. His style of play is everything we could without. Fuck me Quote
Zico Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Coyle got sacked after defeat at Millwall Then Freedman got his job Then Holloway got DFs old job and got promoted Something is written in the stars But it's a cloudy night so can't make out what it is Quote
Woodwork Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Millwall fan here. Massive game now on Saturday, after tonight's results for our respective teams. Holloway started with 4 strikers tonight & is clearly mental, & I don't expect that to change Saturday! As you now know South Bermondsey overground station is closed. However, I've never understood why most sane away (& home) fans go that way anyway. Yes, it's the quickest route from London Bridge to the ground (3 mins and a walkway), but the train is always crowded and it doesn't allow you to feel the build up to a game, ie no walking with crowds to the ground, passing hot dog stalls, programme sellers, pubs etc. Therefore you could see this as an opportunity, and enforced bump out of what's easy... I think the best route is take the Jubilee Line to Bermondsey and walk from there, maybe through the Blue. You could stop for a Pie & Mash, and a pint or two in some genuine old (non tourist) London boozers. The Blue Anchor is a good little pub, or the Ancient Forresters is on the way to the ground (a 10/15 minute walk depending on your pace) on the corner Galleywall Road - local to famous London criminal Freddie Foreman and his family (who still drink there, including his actor son Jamie). Many bank robberies have been planned in that pub, so a bit of SE London history. Pretty straight forward if you look on Google Maps. As others have said, Surrey Quays (or Docks if you are a proper local) is a similar distance, and there's some good pubs around there too, plus a big Weatherspoons (altho that gets full of not hooligans, but lairy Millwall yoof). Again, easy route on Google Maps - plus a small detour can take you to the Ancient Forresters. There's a short cut through the Silwood Estate (keep your wits about), but that might be shut too. New Cross or New Cross Gate is another option. Some decent little London boozers around there, even a studenty one near Goldsmiths (the Marques of Granby), that has an interesting mix of Millwall fans, musicians and local art students. Bit more of a walk, but not by much & you get to go down Cold Blow Lane and through it's tunnel for a nostalgic Millwall experience. Of course, I'd recommend not wearing Bolton stuff in these places or loudly moaning about southern piss when drinking your pint; not that the hooligans would take much notice, but there's always a lairy prat around that might take exception, especially when backed up by a few mates.And to be fair, being obnoxious probably deserves a slap. There is also the 'tourist option'...drink around London Bridge and bus it / taxi it in. If you're are driving google Folkestone Gardens and head there for best place to park. Try and park outside a house; there's no restrictions etc, and about 5 minute walk to ground - follow fans coming from New Cross / Deptford / Surrey Quays heading west. Hope I've been of some help.

whiteboy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Pie why don't you come and meet some of the wanderersways lot? Seriously Euston is fucking shit you didnt enjoy the rocket last week then... Quote
Pie Eater Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Pie why don't you come and meet some of the wanderersways lot? Seriously Euston is fucking shit Where are you lot heading? Like I said, I'm open to suggestions... just the London Bridge pub we ended up in last time was a proper tourist trap with prices to match Quote
Pie Eater Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Woodwork, you've inspired me! Gonna head to Bermondsey and try and pub crawl it to the ground, will be more of an adventure! If you're on here again before Saturday, are there any pubs that we should particularly avoid or will we generally be sound as long as we're not in colours/mouthing off? Quote
DazBob Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Top stuff. Quite possibly the best post from an opposition fan we've ever received. This innit Quote
