Spurs U21 vs Reading (@ Stevenage, 2pm, Sunday 27/04)

[Anthony Beale]

"There is a large Club House bar at the ground, behind the South Stand, which is popular with both home and away fans alike. However, for some high profile games, the bar will be open to home fans only, but this is only for a small minority of games. On my last visit, even though the bar was busy, I was served relatively quickly and it was a friendly atmosphere.

Otherwise there is not much in the way of pubs near to the ground. Still if you like your real ale then it is worth taking the 15 minute walk to the 'Our Mutual Friend' pub in Broadwater Crescent. This pub which is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide offers seven beers on hand pump, plus real cider and perry. If you have time on your hands then you can take the 15-20 minute walk into the town centre, where there are plenty of pubs to be found including a Wetherspoons outlet (called the Standard Bearer, which is located near to the Bus Station)."

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.

There is a Wetherspoons right by the station (called the Standard Bearer). Surely going to be our best bet.

Maybe, but on a sunday afternoon it'll be full of people having a roast. Then again its not like there'll be more than maybe, a hundred or so of us id imagine.

In the pub before I'd be surprised if there's 30. Depends how pushed it gets I suppose.

True. Also an alternative would be to go to somewhere in kings cross or something and everyone get the train up. And drink on the train and shit. Like a pwoppa nawty away day.

Not a bad idea that! But would need plenty of people to be on board

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.

Thanks!

The thing is, most people will be coming by train, so will be in the town centre anyway, so a pub round there would be ok. You coming along?

Up until yesterday I was all set along with a few other locals but my boy is playing in a hastily arranged five a side comp followed by an Easter egg hunt (Whoo Hooo).

I think someone has already mentioned that the Boro clubhouse/social could be an option, not sure on admittance rules though, but it is a decent place and you have the added bonus of falling out of the Bar into the ground, I could find out how it stands regarding support if you like. I shouldn't think it would be a problem for an U21 game, especially as it's technically a home game for us.

turn left & walk across the bridge & down the slope when u come out of the station into the town center..
look right when you pass the bingo hall & the big weatherspoons is on the other side of the bus terminus.
ground is a 10 mins stroll away.
if you contact Stevenage fc & tell them your coming sure they'll get the bar & function suite at the back of the away end ready
we used to play out reserve games there!!.. (first time I saw lennon & immediately I saw him I thought he was the mascot & thought someones' taking the piss!.. 2 mins in he scored!!

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)
theres at least 3 trains an hour from London kx on sundays!.. 2 fast & 1 stopping..
your better off checking national rail enquiries


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.

 

[Thelonious]

What's it like for parking?

Stevenage also has a spurs shop in the shopping center so its not like your visiting fucking outer space.. plenty of yids in around the town..possibly a yid town now with all the movement away from Londonski/ londonistan/ hellmand province/moghadishu

If they dont open up the Broadhall Suite, I'd say go to Our Mutual Friend, away friendly pub, 5 minute walk.

 

[Anthony Beale]

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.

That "Large concourse" is the stadium car park...
:lennonlol:

:lennonlol:

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.

 

[SpursLegend]

So is this happening?

I'll probably be going whatever, but would be good if we got a few down there!
