Couldn't see any other threads that discussed this, but where is the nearest away fans pub to The Emirates? Where can we find a pub with the most Leeds fans in to kill some time before the game? Living in Norwich I plan to drive to Epping and then tube to Arsenal station, so walking distance from the ground, but is there a better stop nearer an ideal pub? Cheers guys
Porkinator I think last year the pub was called O'neils, unfortunately I cant make it down with it being on a monday
From the Ground Guide (http://www.footballgroundguide.com/arsenal/): --- The traditional pub for away supporters is the Drayton Arms, which is located near to Arsenal tube station and Drayton Park railway station. This Courage pub overlooks the new stadium and is only a few minutes walk away. However as you would expect it can get extremely busy on matchdays, with drinkers spilling outside onto the pavements. Mark Long recommends the Twelve Pins (formerly the Finsbury Park Tavern) near Finsbury Park Tube Station. ‘Normally a good mix of home and away fans and about a ten minute walk from the ground’. Whilst Guy McIntyre adds; ‘The Blackstock opposite The Twelve Pins, also welcomes away fans, plus it has a big screen showing Sky Sports’. Otherwise alcohol is available inside the stadium (Fosters, John Smith’s & Strongbow). ---
Sounds like the Drayton Arms then, not as good as the Fat Cat or the Alex in Norwich. But should be okay.
