21. Marcham Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Just wondering how many were taking to Plymouth ATM? Many of you on here going? Does anyone have any info on away pubs, food outlets, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Me! Though it's more like Plymouth Home. Last time I went for a drink in a local boozer it had been dismantled by City fans who were being chased down the road by a mad axeman - a bit like a scene from the wild west. Shows how much of a dedicated drinker I am that I still entered the said pub and had a couple of pints. Oddly, some other City fans were still inside calmly supping up while all hell was breaking out around. Think all pubs in the vicinity have been closed on police instructions following that incident. So it's been the off-licence by the traffic lights en route in from the A38 as the best alternative, Plod, however, I'm sure will try and 'encourage' people to drink in the ground.

That was the Cherry Tree and is probably best to avoid. Also for those arriving by train the pub as you come out of the station and turn right (pennycomequick) has shut down - or is doing a fine impression of looking that way when I drove past it!!. The Britannia ia a wetherspoons pub and is 5 minutes from the ground. Stoke village is within walking distance of the ground and has a few boozers/chippy etc but take a bit or care around there. For anyone arriving earlier the Barbican has quite a few decent pubs and food outlets (the 'famous' Cap'n Jaspers is still going strong) and that is where I will be heading. Town centre is like every town centre - a few different type of pubs to suit everyone. Last year with the stupid kick off time we went to the 6 a side centre (called GOALS) which you will find just before the ground as you come down outland road (off the A38). Don't think you are allowed to park in there but if they are open I would suggest that is a top place for family type supporters/anyone with kids. If you need to know anything else please don't hesitate to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that, that was my first ever away game. I'm so glad this post has been mentioned, I have often mentioned this incident to friends and they just look at me as if I'm full of bulls**t.... .....this was the same day as the car showroom down the road had all its windows put through aswell wasnt it?

PLYMRED Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Me + 1 more... Were is the weatherspoons from the train station ? Out of station turn right. Under railway bridge and down to roundabout - straight over there and head up the hill. 15/20 minute walk. There is a wetherspoons and a club (Embassy) near by. Do not go in Embassy Club.

myoudale Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I shall be going and will be taking my Norwich housemate. I will probably have a pint in weatherspoons on mutley plain before the game. We went in there after last years game, and didnt get any problems with all the plymouth fans in there.

21. Marcham Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Anyone think this might be made POD? Yeah i think it might be seeing as we're not taking many. But last time i checked on OS it said all ticket for away supporters. If I was you, personally, i wouldn't take the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21. Marcham Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Not sure how many tickets we were allocated, but there were 300 left at lunchtime today (21 Jan) . Initial allocation was 1000. So 700, not to bad i suppose, but with pay on the day in order, we could get a few over 1000 hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm considering this away game and may get tickets today with a mate. One thing that bothers me is the amount of time the local constabulary keeps us locked in. I normally do this game but last year I didn't but my mate did. He said City fans were kept behind for 30-45 minutes and when they got out the ground, Plymouth fans were still waiting. Plus his car was one side of the ground, and he was told to walk in a complete opposite direction. Last time I went to Plymouth we were locked in for some stupid amount of time. Having said this, I do like this away game and will consider it. But I do feel the local Police want to make it a s**t night win or lose for the city fans and stop you getting home at a semi-decent time.
