bungle Posted 23 October, 2008 Share Posted 23 October, 2008 For drinkies go to London Bridge. Loads of really good pubs and the Borough Market. Then get the train to Charlton from there and either go for one in Antigallican or straight to ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 3 November, 2008 Share Posted 3 November, 2008 They've just released the ticket prices - it's £30 for an adult ticket, yet on the Charlton website it's advertising tickets at £20 for home fans. I thought they had to charge us the same price as the cheapest tickets they offer for home fans? There's no special offer and it's a CAT A game for them.

Then get the train to Charlton from there and either go for one in Antigallican or straight to ground. Same for us lot too. Drink in London Bridge, then the short train trip to Charlton. If I was you, I would avoid the Antigallican unless you are in there at least 2hrs before kick-off, it gets rammed with Saints Fans, hard to get served and crap beer in plastic glasses. So stay for the extra one in London Bridge and then head straight for the ground... PS... Bungle, you said on another thread, that you know me.... any clues to who you are?

Gudz Posted 6 November, 2008 Share Posted 6 November, 2008 Market Porter is one of my lunchtime locals... good pub. Good call there Pancake. One of my regulars too when I worked up that neck of the woods. I'm sure we'll find ourselves in there at some point before and/or after Charlton. Also there's a wetherspoons called the Barrowboy & Banker which can be alright on occasions. Take the main exit out of London Bridge station, turn right, walk down to the main road & you can't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysaint Posted 11 November, 2008 Share Posted 11 November, 2008 anybody found any cheap railway tickets yet or any deals??? You can still get the 4 for 2 deals, I know for Reading its working out about £7.50 and for London games about £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudz Posted 12 November, 2008 Share Posted 12 November, 2008 Yeah get a "group saver" ticket. All you need is to have 4 of you travelling together and at the same time and the tix get cheaper than railcard reductions, Ladysaint is right. Personally I'll be in the Barrow Boy & Banker in London Bridge at 11am and carrying on from there. Gonna be absolutely ****ed by the time I reach the Valley! Another Preston [2nd half] please lads.

Torres Posted 24 November, 2008 Share Posted 24 November, 2008 I don't know whether to buy a ticket and go or just head along for a few pre-match beers and then stay in the pub to watch the rugby and keep track of the scores on Soccer Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Soze Posted 24 November, 2008 Share Posted 24 November, 2008 How many have we sold? Traditionally Charlton is a good turnout but with Reading being so well supported last week not sure if we will pack it out.

EFM Posted 25 November, 2008 Share Posted 25 November, 2008 Market Porter is one of my lunchtime locals... good pub. 3 very good pubs down Stoney Street, opposite Borough Market! The Market Porter being the best of all I agree but they wouldn't let any of us with colours in last year as a warning. Can't remember the name of the Youngs pub in the middle of the three but I can rarely drag the rest out of the The Southwark anyway on previous attempts. Then 20 mins (?) to Charlton on train from London Bridge which is only a few minutes away. A mid-trip cultural stop off at Maize Hill has also been favoured by some in the past I understand.

Yep, they refused us last year, so spent the whole morning in the Southwark tavern, which has always been a good venue to be fair. They do reasonably priced meals too. Looking forward to another good away-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantiles Posted 26 November, 2008 Share Posted 26 November, 2008 Just opened my Charlton tickets envelope - it's been here for 10 days - to find two tickets for last Saturday's Reading game but no Charlton tickets.

Chorlton Posted 27 November, 2008 Share Posted 27 November, 2008 Be there for 12.00 do you still get loads of saints fans in there Dan England are playing egg chasing on Saturday, and the Hole in the Wall is often heaving when England are playing at Twickenham, so may be worth drinking elsewhere (though would not go to that awful antigallican at Charlton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 27 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 27 November, 2008 (edited) Just phoned up the pub and it opens at 11 for anyone who is wondering what time to head there. Cheers - Reckon we'll head straight over to London Bridge then. Hope a pub is open early there otherwise it might be cans & a park bench for a few hours!! Edit - Just checked Wetherspoons site, the nearest to Waterloo is on Jamestown road in Camden, nearest tube stop being Camden Town on the Northern line.
