Last time at Gills there was only one pub that Town fans were allowed in, by the away end. It was rammed.

At Aldershot, there is The Crimea just over the road from the ground and The Beehive is about 5 min walk.

I'm being a Billy no mates for this one. Better that than miss promotion in front of the Pikeys.

So anyway, where ya all headed? 'London' is a bit vague!

FYI Circle and Hammersmith & City line station at Paddington is closed this weekend - might have a bearing on where you go to drink in London  :)

Are they really? Nothing on the tfl website. Will be nothing new if they are but thought we might get away with it this weekend for a change.

Yeah! I get an email every Thursday from tfl about weekend closures and that's what it said. You can get the Bakerloo from there and change so it's not too bad just means a bit more faffing. And it wouldn't be a normal weekend in London without some line and station closures!

I just looked at the TfL website...

Paddington (H&C Line): Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 April, trains operating on the Edgware Road to Hammersmith section of the Circle and Hammersmith & City line will not serve the station

Best bet is probably to get Circle or District going south, and get a train out of Victoria, if your tickets allow it.

Pretty confusing then but looking at a tube map it looks like you can still get to Victoria on the circle and district like you say R4E. I'll aim for that.

our train tickets are for
Swindon - Paddington
Paddington - St pancreas/kk
St pancreas/kk - Gillingham

I hope these tube works dont effect our tickets and we have to pay more to skirt around the work...

If you look on the Transport for London Website you will find that the circle line is not actually closed at Paddington

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=weekend

It's a bit confusing as the the Circle Line is no long just a continual loop, Circle trains now run out to Hammersmith from the platforms next to the Main Line Station. This part appears to be closed.

The station on the actual Circle does not appear to be affect, so just take the circle line to KKSP

The Paddinton to SP/KK part of your journey will be any route. You'll be fine.

oops, didn't realise it was already answered!

For those of us that don't eat jellies eels in our pearly coats KKSP = Kings Cross St Pancras  :-[

Only just realised its St Pancras and not St Pancreas to be honest.

For non pikeys it's  known as sexual harassment ! Rub some fresh tarmac into your clothes and you might get away with it  :)
