Hello.

Just a quick question for you guys & girls.

i've never vistited you're ground before, but am going up on the 27'th. as moneys a bit tight i plan to go up on coach (would normally use trains) as its only £18 for the coach.

anyways my question is, are there any decent watering holes around the ground? i don't really want to wonder to far, as i expect us to arrive at around 1:30 to 2:00

any advise would be great cheers

 

Theres the "Dry Dock" which is where i go, its a Scream bar, but you dont need to be a member, about 5-10m away from the ground through an industrial estate, theres also a couple of traditional pubs round the corner from there too, The Donkey and New road inn.

I don't know any in the other directions, so not sure if these are the closest.

 

Counting House 5 mins away from the ground is ok but takes bloody ages to get served!

 

Or the hoilday inn which is practically at the ground

 

Thanks for the reply guys. are all the above, away fan friendly?

 

Yes

 

Counting House is good but it is packed with city fans.

 

polar bear?

 

what about that symphony rooms, just around the corner, I DONT KNOW IF ITS AWAY FRIENDLY, but someone else on here might. now they have SINGHA in the stadium tho, the beer just as good in there.

 

There were some Reading fans in the Dry Dock last weekend, weren't disturbed at all.

If you do get any banter there, it will be praise for the way your team has started

 

Thank you all. much appreciated. and best of luck for saturday.

 

Instead of thanking us have you got any strikers? Not Connolly though he thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread when he is pretty crap

 

Lambert? bit unproven at this level though. got 2 goals in midweek vs the tractor boys, very shody defence though

 

We have no problems defensively they just lack confidence at the back. Lallana looks a decent player and he knows where the goal is

 

We was lucky to hang on to all 3 points yesterday. players looked very tired, but have a week off now, are you in carling cup action midweek?

and also got my tickets now. row CC. how far back is that? i normally like being more towards the back (mainly due to weather reasons) and can see a bit more.

 

I'd say row CC is just over half way up.

And yes we go to Bury on Tuesday.

I can see quite a few goals on Saturday, should be a good game.

 

If you ask the thai fish cake, he will spot u! promise ya...

 

Cheers mate. all the best for Tuesday.
am looking foward to Saturday, should be a cracking game. we're on our second allocation now. so should be a good turn out from us.

 

Good to hear mate, the away followings at Filbert Way have been poor so far this season but I thought you'd bring a good amount.

Sse you Saturday

 

We've sold our allocation, at least 2500 going up, with a futher 500 possible on the day
