Pubs in Swindon

[fatboy]

I have rung a few-and got no answer.

As it is Sunday will pubs be open at 11?


I seem to remember being in the cricket club next to the ground last time we played there. The telephone number is 01793 535395.

Yeah thats those places you just walk into and get a beer i guess

Just go in any pub

Was a pub called the Malt and Hops or sommit like that last time we went... I think it's changed it's name now tho.

 

[Safeway]

The Malt and Hops is now called The Merlin. Just up from the magic roundabout, past the fire station. Still the recommended pub for away fans.

That's where we'll be. Sunday so it's more than likely going to be a midday opening. Which is perfect as we're getting there at midday.

 

[fatboy]

How near to the ground is this Steven?

My dad has nicked my grounds book!

 

[Safeway]

About this far, Andrew.

<------------------------------------------------------>

 

[fatboy]

Yes, the nice lady says it opens at 12.

1.3 miles from station.

 

[Trigger]

Doubt i'll be there much before 1 if i do go... But if i do i'll see you in there...

Is everyone behind the goal tomorrow?

 

[Safeway]

The Merlin is no more than a five/ten minute walk from the ground. Quite a big pub so will be good to watch the football in as well (whoever's playing).

Us lot are in the covered seats but I think most people are going behind the goal.

"We're the dry side, we're the dry side, we're the dry side Brighton boys!"

 

[fatboy]

Behind goal yes.

I'm going to make sure my ex gets a proper soaking.

Pubs from a localish

Main away pub as reported is the Merlin 400 yards past the fire station in Drove road...car park behind the pub...

county hotel next to the ground.... no away fans after Bristol city trashed it


loads of pubs in the town cente all the major chains have pubs here... the savoy which is a weatherspoons pub will not allow football shirts...

Fleet Street has an abundance of pubs to get there walk out of the station straight ahead to the traffic lights, turn right that is fleet street... to get to the centre of town walk down fleet street 200 yards and turn left at the pub called "the Bedroom"

the ground is only 10 - 15 mins walk from the town centre...

Personally I will be in the merlin from 1pm you will know me I will be in a blue and white shirt.....have fun and dont take the piss out of our roundabouts....

 

[Safeway]

you will know me I will be in a blue and white shirt

Bound to stick out like a sore thumb then in a pub full of Brighton fans.

 

[Kenhead]

Will be with the fatboy for the pub duration of the day, will be tacking a few cans with me on the train aswell

 

[fatboy]

Got some wine sorted for the train journey.

I hope this away pub isn't too bad 'cause I'm meating my mate for a pint-he's a huge Swindon fan, and I'm taking my ex girlfriend who speaks like a farmer.

 

[Safeway]

I'm assured The Merlin is fine. I'm also meeting a Swindon fan tomorrow (a lady) and she said it's the main pub for away fans. If it is the same one as two seasons ago then it is a good pub.

 

[fatboy]

I'll set up my mate with your lady.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Behind the goal mmmmmm i'll stay away from there then

Actually it looks great outside and no rain thank fu-ck
