SKD Posted 21 February, 2017 Share Posted 21 February, 2017 How many of the 30k plus Saints fans are going to be wearing fancy dress do you expect? Not many, but more than usual. As ericb has said above, I generally don't like the majority of our fan base. 'Indiana Jones', his mate with about 3 teeth and any other dickhead that associates with him can ***** off. Each to their own, but the green man is not my idea of fun. I'll be making noise inside the ground, not in a boozer just to get a photo/video on 'football away days'.

trousers Posted 21 February, 2017 Share Posted 21 February, 2017 We are staying in Islington Saturday night but we're going to jump on the tube to London Bridge Sunday morning. Think there'll be a few saints fans around there with minimal Mancs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 February, 2017 Share Posted 21 February, 2017 **** me, I like London Bridge & we go there for a couple of London games, but it's a pretty long haul to Wembley from there. There's plenty of pubs nearer that will be just as good. It's a ****ing big city, don't understand why people are drinking in SE London for a game taking place in NW.

benjii Posted 21 February, 2017 Share Posted 21 February, 2017 This thread has become a rather tedious argument about where you should be drinking, what you should be drinking and what you should be wearing. Where: as far away from Wembley as possible to avoid meeting any Saints fans. Ideally outside the M25. If you feel you absolutely have to enter its ring before kick-off then I recommend Dartford / Sidcup where you should be guaranteed a pretty nondescript time. What: pints.

So you're letting Indiana Jones and his mates dictate and determine where you'd drink for a Saints final at Wembley, the complete other side of the city. Fair enough.

Patrick Bateman Posted 21 February, 2017 Share Posted 21 February, 2017 I think it's more the 45 minute wait to be honest. I shall be on my own so not even any division of labour "your turn to queue..". I frankly couldn't give a stuff about MU fans spoiling my drinking experience! Do you think Turkish will be there? I'm tempted to wear some dungarees (not sure where I'd buy them though), wave an Italian flag as they're in town for the rugby, plus face-paint, red and white fright wig and a foam hand. Fear not Sue, for Turkish and I will be somewhere in London, being properly judgemental of the complete messes that will turn out.

To those who are intent on staying "south" for some weird reason You do realise how far Richmond is from most of the places mentioned right? Also you don't actually expect most here to stay in one spot either do you? London has some of the best pubs in the country and a pub crawl along a tube is a right laugh with the good group of your mates. Of course you could also go and stand in the quagmire garden of a bad pub, drinking poor lager out of plastic pots and listening to the hilarious Bantz of our own CWTB, the special needs case that is Indiana Jones hat man.

St Louis Posted 21 February, 2017 Author Share Posted 21 February, 2017 I would avoid the Globe unless you like waiting about 45 mins to get served. Plus, it will be full of Mancs. Just out of interest (as I'd rather drink with majority Saints fans) why do you think this pub will be full of Mancs? Am I missing something?

Do they come in an unmarked plain brown wrapper? ;-) Sorry about that, but this whole debate is a bit absurd really. Not being an expert on London pubs, or indeed the tube system, I'm going by the few places I know. But my limited experience of pubs near grounds is that sometimes you have to walk a bit to get a) a decent pint and b) served it, so I may as well take advantage of my one day travel card and start south of the river! Where I end up is another matter.. Incidentally, are there any decent pubs near Paddington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
