Hi Tim

We are getting to London Bridge at about 10.15 - 10.30. Walk over the bridge to the Crosse Keys (to get blind drunk obviously LOL) then a short walk to Bank tube station for a 15 min ride to Leyton on the Central Line. It's then about a 10-15 minute stagger from there to the ground.

Superb I am middle aged!!!

Just do not understand why you need to know what train others are getting. Surely just go up with your mates and make your way to the ground, as you are too young to go to the pub.

NSC Gold!!

 

[Grendel]

What sort of decision is it?!

I have never been before, I don't know how long it takes, I don't know how early people get into the ground, I don't know how to get to the ground from the underground station ...

Cheers for the help btw

Much as you are young and I do not want to seem harsh, you could use your own initiative especially in these days of the internet when it is so easy to find these things out.

You can get all the information you need from the following:

[Superphil]

Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to help out the young 'uns once in a while.

They are after all the ones who will, in our later life, have to mop up our piss, scrape our shit off the carpet and clean our bedding.

Am I a bad fan?

I could go but might get lucky tonight and don't want to ruin it by telling the lady in question that I have to go as I need to see the Albion.

So I'm not going.

 

[clapham_gull]

I will be walking to Clapham North tube station at some point if that's any help.

Yes very helpful.

Whatever happened to having your cake AND eating it?

I have done this and prepared our journey, but I was merely asking just to check that I was not the only one getting the 9:37 from Brighton. As I am not very experienced with transport and London I just wanted to make sure I was not going too late as it seemed like everyone was leaving much earlier. I suppose that's common practice as most fans will be going into the pub's before, but as you may understand I did not know this before.

Its nothing to do with pubs, just that us middle aged fans do not sleep so well, hence we are on earlier trains.

What about taking a Thermos of soup?

The best tip I can give you is to empty your bladder twice without drinking more beer before you leave your chosen hostelry. The trip to Leyton is a long old run without a public convenience on the jolly old tube train.

Any regular visitors to Briss road should testify to this.

And a flask of Oxtail soup, and a bobble hat

and moan that the team that Archie Macaualey built was far far better. ( Thinking about it they probably were!)

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'm watching it on the telly. How do I turn it on?

 

[Perry Milkins]

If you are middle aged won't you be listening to it on the radiogram?

 

[Uncle Buck]

This could send the thread in a completely different direction...

All I need is a tv show, that and the radio
Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
Its driving me mad just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when shes not there
I, i, i...

Youre just another face that I know from the tv show
I have known you for so very long I feel you like a friend
Cant you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while
Can I meet you another day and we will fly away

I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life
Its driving me mad its just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when shes not there
I, i, i...

Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again i can see another face
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again I can see another face
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
