I got told yesterday its all ticket for away fans

Simon Phillips informs me that 'The Antigallican, a big pub near Charlton station, seems to be the favourite haunt of away supporters'. However, it can get very busy and this is not helped by the local Police not allowing fans to drink outside. It is a rather basic pub but has real ale available (albeit a lone handpump) and also offers a selection of filled rolls and pork pies. Whilst Colin Gilham recommends the 'Rose of Denmark' on Woolwich Road. The pub not only allows in away supporters but absolutely welcomes them. They have a photo display on the wall of fans from visiting clubs that have frequented the pub this season and it also has SKY television'. Please note that this is a home supporters only pub after the game. To find these pubs come out of Charlton station and turn left into Charlton Church Lane and the Antigallican pub is down on the right hand corner. If you continue down to the t-junction with the Woolwich Road and turn left you will reach the Rose of Denmark further down on the left.

There is also the Charlton Liberal Club, to which away fans are welcome on payment of an entry fee of £1. This is more spacious, less busy, has a large screen television and families are welcome. The club can be found by turning right out of Charlton station and walking 300 yards up the hill on the left hand side of the road, past the row of shops. The club is a five minute walk from the away end, but like the Rose Of Denmark, it becomes a home supporters only venue after the game.
Robert Taylor adds; 'I would recommend the Pickwick on Woolwich Road, which is about a 10 minutes walk away from the ground. It has a good mix of away and home fans, with a friendly atmosphere (with the usual banter!). There is a huge beer garden where kids are allowed to play football and it has Sky television with a huge projector screen at one end. It has a pool table, games machines and there is a handy chippie right next door'. Alternatively alcohol is available in the away end.

The tubes and rail should be fine.

I think the best way to get there is either on the train to Charlton station (right outide the ground, served by Waterloo East, London Bridge and Liverpool Street) or on the Jubilee line to North Greenwich (a bit further away, but easy enough for pubs and the tube runs every 3-4 mins as opposed to every 15-20 mins for the train).

:-[ I hadn't checked to see what services would be running or not. 

That makes things a bit more awkward.  Presumably there's a bus replacement on the Jubilee line?  If not then the one train an hour is going to be fairly full I reckon!

Charing Cross it is then Timmyg !

Where abouts is that pub Bob? I don't think we've decided on anywhere yet, so might join you there.

296 Woolwich Road right next to Charlton Station and 10 minutes from the ground seemingly. We are driving and hoping to park in this industrial estate place early so hopefully will be pub bound for 12. Meeting a couple of Luxembourgers coming to the game as I have their tickets so agreed to meet at the Rose.

Meeting at 12? Doesn't leave much pub time.

We're leaving Swindon at 8.30. Going by the amount of tiny bladders, I'm expecting a minimum of 4 piss stops.

It's alright, my missus and STFC Dave aren't coming this time.

We should be there before kick-off.

Finally booked my space on the coach today :)
