ScottMurray'srightboot Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thoughts on a pre match boozer for Saturday? Getting the train with 8 others. Apparently there's nothing near the ground so thinking about drinking at Paddington and then hopping on a tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Don Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Been many times, always drank in The Antelope on South Africa Road, it's a hole situated in a bigger hole but only a few mins from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygram for mongo Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 On the 9am train (booked it thinking it was a 3pm kick off) aiming for at least 1 in the Sussex Arms Paddington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you mean The Springbok - as above there is very little close to the ground, even though around Shepherds Bush there are many bars personally I will be avoiding them like the plague. After reading about the problems Birmingham had at QPR a few weeks back it mirrors a number of times we have been up there. Let's be honest with the tube network and the thousands of pubs around London no reason to go anywhere near the ground until kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 We always used to get a tube to Goldhawk Road and there is a lovely pub outside. To get to the ground you can walk through Shepherds Bush Market across the main road from the pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayLives Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 With the early kickoff I'd be surprised if many outside of the ones at the main stations will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little bit, only know that this is closed as it was originally where I was going to head - but someone I know from the that way confirmed it's closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubs on the White City estate are hazardous and horrible. Those in Shepherds Bush Green are either non-supporter friendly or non away supporter friendly (especially The Green, watch out there!). If you need a quick pint, O'Neills on the corner of the Green is as good as anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the positives, it would have been a lot quieter for your pre-match drink and you would have gotten served a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
