Harrow on the hill for my tribe

torch

Would love to see an army of red turning a number of pubs on a London Road into a temporary home.
Let's all congregate together let the singing commence and introduce ourselves to London. :beers:

Harrow then the torch
Remember this is not a day out we are all on  a mission

Torch  :pint:

Where abouts is the torch?  :pint:

Town allocated pubs

I'll probably grab a coffee in central London  :pint:

Wooly63 many thanks for that, i take it people are heading straight to Wembley then and not into the big smoke for a few first?

I think the missus and I are parking up in Hammersmith, getting the tube up from there to have a Flamin' Grill at The Torch with some bevvies.

Hopefully see some of you there!

Hounslow West tube station is free at weekends... I think on a Sunday they have a car boot sale on which takes over some of the carpark, but worth knowing. Hounslow is quite handy too, being on the West side of London, not too far off the M4. Parked there a few times myself, always been ok.

Plenty of free on street parking minutes from the station on a Sunday. Aim for Hammersmith Grove and the surrounding streets.

Personally, into the city for a boozy brunch, then head to the Torch for 1ish I reckon.

Hello Shady

Anywhere other than an allocated pub

We are cos our coaches are booked into the Torch before 12, I imagine there will be some ppl central esp the London reds

Cheers. As I'm dragging the missus along the plan is leave as early as possible, park up at Hammersmith, venture into Town so she can have a look around some shops, then we'll go onto the Torch for 1pm. We'll probably eat there as I can't help myself when it comes to a grill restaurant!!

Personally think you'd be mad to eat at the Torch rather than in town. If it's just shopping she's after, Westfield is 5 minutes from Hammersmith too.

I think she wants to do Regent Street etc. so we will probably end up eating there. Buzzing for it.

Moonies.

South London and south coast reds are meeting at Clapham Jct, before moving onto the main venue to meet up with the east, west and north  London riff raff ;)

Don't tell Sir windon, but I'll be in the Tiger Inn Bridport. Which is another reason we're not going, don't bother turning up to burgle us we've got fcuk all worth taking and the outlaws will be there anyway, you don't want to tangle with the MIL.....

Harrow is good for a few early on
How busy will the torch be?
Remember we are on a mission , win and then on the lash

Will probably watch the game at the Steam railway. Then onto a curry house to celebrate or cry into my vindaloo

Where are the North London guys going ?

I went to a pub in Harlesden on the grand union canal to watch an England game. Only two stops from Wembley. The pub was only a few hundred yards from the tube too.

That might well be it, although I'm too lazy to look back through todays million emails..

Yes that's the one the London lot will be in plus one from oxford  :D

If there's a bunch of us going to the Grand Junction then I may well be joining you. Like that place and it's barely any distance from Wembley. Haven't quite worked out where we'll be parking yet mind (normally park round Lords/Regents Park somewhere but there's a bleeding Test match that day).

Grand union junction looks a great pub, that's definitely where I will be! Predrinks and celebrating afterwards

i think i'm drinking in Linkers Bar (Magaluf) or another similar establishment serving cold beer

And one from Paris…  :bye:

I've genuinely exchanged more emails about fire proofing a flag than ones relating to my job so far this week, as for the pub, less planning went into D-Day

Indeed I've just been for a meeting, come back to find 44 new emails on my phone. I'm hoping these will be megaphone related...

They aren't megaphone related

 :D :bye:

Just flag discussions!

Whereabouts in CJ you guys meeting? Station rendezvous or local pub? CJ very much my turf, but may be heading into West End to pick up my QPR mate.

The Falcon from 11ish

Don't think I've been in the Falcon since I was 'asked to leave' some 15 years ago

Pubs the same, the staff have changed though...

Not a problem for me. The person who asked me to leave (with her) was a tall, leggy brunette called Michelle, if I remember correctly.

What time you all gathering there/leaving for town? I might recognise a few faces..

From 11ish onwards. staying an hour or so, heading to Baker street for 1 then up to Harlesden, to meet the rest.

Is that the globe on Baker St?

Yup

It'll be rammed.

Yeah we know, hence one beer, a sing song with the megaphone, and bugger off to where we can get served :)

Good work.....  :smugfu:

is it still the Grand Union Junction you're all going to ?

I assume it doesn't open until 12 as its a Sunday ?

I've been pleasantly surprised to find out it's a 5.30 ko, not a 3.00 ko !!!

So my plan to be at the junction at 12, and Torch at 1.30 no longer applies.

There will be time for a pint or two up west

Is anyone starting in LeicesterSq/CoventG/Soho area ?

I remember the Roundhouse in CoventG being packed with Swindon fans on the day of the Sunderland play off final

That place has a great beer garden, overlooking the canal.

Yes opens at 12.

Anyone considered The Premier Inn opposite Wembley Park Station?  I think they charge  £2 to get in but it's easier to get served compared to a pub...

If you come anywhere other than the torch after your first pub you're doing it wrong.

Cheers will be making our way there, just hope service is better than the Green Man

I think I actually prefer it... Blasphemy I know but the bar staff are half decent and there's tons of space

Found a bar in Pantelios who will be showing the game for the Kefalonia Reds!

Sat poolside at the moment supping VAT and shitting bricks.

Kick off here is 7.30 so we're off in 30 min to stoke up the locals into becoming Reds for the evening.

Come the fuck on, you Reds!
