saint_bert Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 Anyone going? Should be a good laugh. My second away game of the season.
St Landrew Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 What with your team or Saints..? BTW, did you end buying that boat I suggested..?
voteforpedro Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 I'm going. 8 of getting the train from soton cenral, not sure what time yet. Not sure what to expect though.
Kaiser Soze Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 Big 6-pointer. Have ticket details been released yet?
Ludwig Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 What with your team or Saints..? BTW, did you end buying that boat I suggested..? Well, I do have a seat in the other end.... I'm afraid I didn't. A decent guy down the boathouse decided to let me take an old topper off of his hands for free, it needed a bit of work which cost around £50 or so, but it was well worth it. Don't get to use it as much as I'd like though.
Papa Shango Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 Big 6-pointer. Have ticket details been released yet? Tickets already on sale mate. Got mine, hopefully be quite a few of us going up on the train. Should have a good support.

Don't get to use it as much as I'd like though. At least you bought something though, and used it, which is all that matters. By the time you were ready to sail the weather had turned crap. August onward was a wash out. Don't worry, weather predictions for this summer are excellent. You can capsize that Topper until you're fed up with the bloody thing. I always like to sail something big enough to take a wee picnic and alcohol on board with me and my friend. Something like a Albacore or a Kestrel [15-16ft]. For you wetsuited Laser sporty types, a Stratos would be appropriate. I quite fancy a bit more trapeze stuff before I get too old. Got 2 wetsuits that still fit at a squeeze.
SaintMilesie Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 Tickets already on sale mate. Got mine, hopefully be quite a few of us going up on the train. Should have a good support. I assume best route is via Clapham on to Watford Junction, any idea of best pre-match drinking den, never been to Watford before. Thx
Gudz Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 A few of us are going, my 5th away game of the season - hopefully my 10th away point! Lol. Likewise I've never been there before either so some postings regarding the best boozers would be much appreciated. I'd imagine we'll head up from Clapham Junction what with living in South London anyway.
Ludwig Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 I assume best route is via Clapham on to Watford Junction, any idea of best pre-match drinking den, never been to Watford before. Thx Oddfellow's (fka Mac's Bar) which is now the closest pub to the ground (following the closure of the Red Lion) is an/the away pub. Although Watford fans are hardly hostile, there's nowhere 'out of bounds'.
Deppo Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 I'm going and I'm going to stay at Orns house. He doesn't know about this yet.
Andy_Porter Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 4-5 of us going up on the train, I think. Quite looking forward to this one.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 I've booked my not cheap train ticket. Looking forward to a good day out before 3pm and after 5pm.
John D Posted 21 January, 2009 Posted 21 January, 2009 Anyone know a decent place to park for quick get away after the game. Need to get back sharpish for a birthday party for my brother in law
rick1976.4.38 Posted 22 January, 2009 Posted 22 January, 2009 radius house on clarendon rd,its about a 10min walk to the ground,run by british legion,cost a couple of quid
Bailey Posted 29 January, 2009 Posted 29 January, 2009 Just bought 3 tickets for me and a couple of mates. Should be a good away day despite the fact our record at Vicarage Road is terrible! Was wondering what the best train route is to get to the game? And how far is the ground from the station?
SaintMilesie Posted 29 January, 2009 Posted 29 January, 2009 Just bought 3 tickets for me and a couple of mates. Should be a good away day despite the fact our record at Vicarage Road is terrible! Was wondering what the best train route is to get to the game? And how far is the ground from the station? We are also going up by train, best route is via Waterloo jthen ump on the tube across to Euston (Nothern Line) takes around 12 mins then train to Watford High Street(closer to the ground) or Watford Junction takes 20mins, you can go via Clapham Junction but there are no more than 2 trains per hour to Watford, so you could have a long wait.
Andy_Porter Posted 29 January, 2009 Posted 29 January, 2009 Got my four tickets, also going by train. Going to aim to get up there early as it's our last London (sort of) game of the season. Are there plenty of places to drink near Watford high street station? Quite looking forward to this one although Watford always seem to put at 3 past us.
action man Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 to get to watfords ground from the station you have to go through the city centre,loads of good boozers ,oneils,walkabout and the moon under the water which is a large wetherspoons,which is where 6 of us will be
saint boggy Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 im going up on the train (9.05ish from parkway)......along with 7 others.........i love london away days!!!!....\\:D/
Ludwig Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 We are also going up by train, best route is via Waterloo jthen ump on the tube across to Euston (Nothern Line) takes around 12 mins then train to Watford High Street(closer to the ground) or Watford Junction takes 20mins, you can go via Clapham Junction but there are no more than 2 trains per hour to Watford, so you could have a long wait. Just go via Watford Junction, you can only get slow trains to High Street from Euston and the walk is about 10 minutes more from Watford Junction than from Watford High Street, whereas the train journey is about 25 minutes more, if you get an all stations train from Euston as opposed to a fast one. Also - I'd recommend the Clapham Junction way if you time it properly, it's the one I prefer and find much quicker generally when I travel down to So'ton.
SaintMilesie Posted 3 February, 2009 Posted 3 February, 2009 Hi mate, Thx for the info, I agree it is better to go via Clapham but I checked out the train times etc on the national rail site and it says no services are running back to Clapham mate, please correct me if I am wrong cos that is the way I would prefer to travel.
Ludwig Posted 3 February, 2009 Posted 3 February, 2009 I dunno, I live in Watford. I'd assume that if there are no services back, then you may as well go Waterloo way.
Nexstar Posted 4 February, 2009 Posted 4 February, 2009 Thinking of going to this, anyone know how many match/travel tickets are left?
sfc2003 Posted 5 February, 2009 Posted 5 February, 2009 I have 2 spaces left on our minibus going to Watford. £40 for ticket and travel and a good day out!!! Please contact me asap if anyone is interested. James Carreras 07840 878386 james.carreras@tesco.net
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 February, 2009 Posted 5 February, 2009 Good pub guide here guys: http://www.gloryhorns.co.uk/pubs.php
Hemel Saint Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 to get to watfords ground from the station you have to go through the city centre,loads of good boozers ,oneils,walkabout and the moon under the water which is a large wetherspoons,which is where 6 of us will be Agree with Many posters that the Watford Junction Station is the better option. From the Station its a 5min walk to the Town center, and you almost stumble upon the Wetherspoons. The spoons will be our haunt too, its safe with a good mix of home and away fans, and even better... it opens at 9am!!! For a wider choice of pubs/bars... turn right at the corner opposite the Wetherspoons and walk under the flyover, towards the top of the town Center and you have a whole stack of both chain and independent pubs in the 'entertainment quarter' However its the Wetherspoons for us 'local' Saints. A few of us will be in there nice and early for breakfast-and-a-pint. COYR Hemel Saint
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 Hope it stops snowing as trains are not looking good for me :-(
saints_is_the_south Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 However its the Wetherspoons for us 'local' Saints. A few of us will be in there nice and early for breakfast-and-a-pint. We'll be there about half 10 doing exactly the same! Looking forward to it.
Hemel Saint Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 We'll be there about half 10 doing exactly the same! Looking forward to it. Will see you there chaps. hopefully! I am in Hemel about 10 miles from Watford. The Snow came early in the morning and dumped around 4 inches on us. Its still snowing quite heavily at 8.30am. Local news is saying it will stop around lunchtime. The main issue will be if the snow freezes overnight, and compacts into ice. Best advice is to see what its like this afternoon and what the local forecasts are predicting for overnight... Hope its on, and will see some of you in the Spoons, hopefully! Cheers Hemel Saint

Saint that we met in the Spoons at Watford last year. Berkhamstead Saint sits in the same row as us in the Northam!

Berkhamstead Saint sits in the same row as us in the Northam! Yes mate, I will be there with Berk Saint (sorry meant Berkhampsted Saint). Be good to see you there. Should be in around 9.30am. Cheers Hemel Saint

Cheers Hemel Saint What chances would you say there are of the game being called off? BBC's forecast doesn't predict much snow but looks like its going to get down to minus 5 tonight in Watford which would obviously freeze the pitch. I don't suppose Watford have undersoil heating?
sfcjmcsfc16 Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 2 travel and 2 tickets wanted for the game as only 100tickets left but no travel coach from st marys, so ideally want 2 tickets and 2 travel from st marys, 60quid the lot.
sfc2003 Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 Any advice on where to park a minibus. Any boozers with a car park close by??
sfc2003 Posted 6 February, 2009 Posted 6 February, 2009 According to the Watford website the game tomorrow is OFF
voteforpedro Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 Who's still going to this then? Four of us getting the 15.08 arriving 17.41. Which pub is everyone going to?
rick1976.4.38 Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 still going with 3 others,lets hope we take everyone that was going first time,believe we'd sold out,should be a good night game with saints hopefuly wining,coyr
Deppo Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 I will be staying at Orn's house and he will be introducing me to his film club teacher.
saints_is_the_south Posted 19 March, 2009 Posted 19 March, 2009 3, possibly 4 of us getting the train about 2ish. Hope to be in Watford around about 4. Think we're heading to 'The Moon Under the Water' on the high street for a few & then see where we go from there.
saintsforlife7 Posted 20 March, 2009 Posted 20 March, 2009 Easter holidays at uni so 6-7 of us will be on the train early for an afternoon in the boozer! Hopefully it will be worth the trip
Eddie Lizzard Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 I've got student and adult tickets for the game. The student ticket has a detachable stub but not the adult ticket which consists of only the section you would retain after going through the turnstile. ie nothing to be torn off at the turnstile. Is that the same with everyone else's tickets?
In the Pink Posted 1 April, 2009 Posted 1 April, 2009 I've got student and adult tickets for the game.

Is that the same with everyone else's tickets? I have adult tickets and they all have a part saying "to be given up" - hope that helps!
Eddie Lizzard Posted 1 April, 2009 Posted 1 April, 2009 I have adult tickets and they all have a part saying "to be given up" - hope that helps! Thanks. I'd better call at the ticket office!
steve chill Posted 3 April, 2009 Posted 3 April, 2009 Anybody know if you can pay on the gate on Tuesday
Dog Posted 4 April, 2009 Posted 4 April, 2009 Anybody know if you can pay on the gate on Tuesday Good question.???
