It was definitely worse than Rose's yesterday. Looked like more of a hit than a push!

Hugely frustrating, because until then Bentaleb and Capoue were absolutely bossing midfield. Seriously, they both looked way too good for this level, which is hugely encouraging considering Bentaleb is still actually in that age group.

Myself and EighteenEightyTwo EighteenEightyTwo watched the last 10 minutes of the Liverpool game in a box with Sherwood, Ferdinand and Ramsey*. Sherwood was getting well in it! Really wanted Liverpool to score by the looks of it. All 3 of them were much more interested in that game than our U21s..

Also, Sherwood made me laugh - gillet / tracksuit for 1st team games, but turned up in a suit to watch the U21s! :ade:


* Strictly speaking we watched it through the window of the box from the outside, but that isn't the point..

There are three pubs within 5 mins walking of the Lamex.
The Roebuck and The Forge are on the London Road next to Tesco.
The Mutual Friend is on the corner of Broadhall Way and Broadwater Crescent.
There are a couple of pubs in the Town Centre near the Train Station, but these are a good 15 - 20 min walk to the Lamex. There is another pub called the Twin Foxes in Rockingham Way which is about a 10 min walk to the ground, out of all of them I would say the Mutual Friend and the Twins would be the best bet, the Forge will be rammed with Sunday lunchers, the Roebuck is quite an old pub and a bit pokey inside, although saying that, they both have decent garden areas if the weathers alright.

What's it like for parking? :levyeyes:

There is a massive tescos car park across the road, about a 5 min walk, if that.
Don't use the car park where Wickes and The Range are, that gets patrolled, or the car parks across the roundabout where Pizza Hut is, same deal there. There is also a large concourse on the other side of Broadhall Way, don't know if there is a charge there though, so Tesco is probably your best bet.

The "Large Concourse" is not the clubs, it belongs to the Council. It is actually used to host fairs and circus events as well as being a public car park for people to use when accessing Fairlands Park, which is immediately behind it. The fact that it is used on Stevenage FCs home game dates is more to do with a deal being struck between the club and the council. I would be happier parking somewhere else on a non Stevenage matchday such as the U21s game because I doubt it will have any official stewarding, and it is is known as a bit of a
Dubious site regarding car crime and alike, it's always been like this.
Just saying.

Fair enough. I parked there when i went to our pre season game there, and i parked there another time, can't remember what that was for. I know its obviously not like, "official stadium parking" type thing, but thats where fans get told to park.

I don't care though because i shall be far too pissed to be driving.
 
You'll easily be able to park on the car park opposite the ground.

As for it being a dubious site for car crime, never ever heard that....

Flav mentioned this on the pod. Next Sunday, 2pm kick off and Stevenage's ground. £5, you can pay on the door.

Only 20 minutes out of Kings Cross to Stevenage station, it may be the last 1882 match for 4/5 months, and it's on a Sunday with no first team game, so no excuses not to go!

Anyone fancy getting there about midday and heading into some kind of drinking establishment?

Trains out of Kings X are only once an hour it seems, so might want to check before so you don't have a 59 minute wait. Spursy.
 
I may be wrong, and the fact its a sunday may change things, but I'm quite sure theres more than one an hour at that time. I used to do this journey a lot, even at night there was one around every half hour.

I'm looking on trainline, and it appears to be very erratic!

9:53
10:53
11:12
12:53
13:03
13:06 (takes double the time)
13:23 (would be very tight to make the start)

Don't just miss the 11:12 :adelol:

Annoyingly, the massive 100 minute gap is slap bang when I planned to get a train. Either got to get there earlier than planned, or much later. Will probably end up getting the 10:53 if a few others come to the pub before too.

That is so weird!
Also the train goes from Finsbury park as well, may be a lot easier for some people as long as they don't mind walking past the dirty gooner shop.
If i remember correctly, its a bit of a walk to the stadium and theres absolutely fuck all around it.

I reckon we should find a pub near the station, then head over at about 1:30.

Theres a big industrial estate type ish thing next to the station, which MAY have a pub in or near... Then you're looking at at least a 20 minute walk to the stadium.
Someone a bit more local will know more but I'm sure Stevenage is shit for pubs, I'm going to look into it now.
