Tip after the game, find a pub and have a beer. Works wonders for the queues.

It could be...you could get off the jubilee at Canning Town and walk it from there (not much difference between there and West Ham to the ground) and as a bonus you can jump on a 5 or 115 bus up Barking road if you see one coming.
Did this after west ham villa game last season. Was pretty easy.

Said it before in this thread - NO District line between Earls Court and Aldgate East - thats the bit though Victoria, Westminster, Blackfriars, Cannon Street and Tower Hill.

Anyone taking this route from Canning Town here's a PDF showing the busses upto Upton Park: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/maps/buses/pdf/canningtown-2045.pdf (looks like stop F at Canning Town is well served).

TFL are suggesting Victoria to Oxford Circus to Mile End to East Ham. 38mins. Thats using the Victoria line then central. My knowledge of the tube is good but not excellent, Am i missing something?
...Anyway, see you in the Blue Parrot, I believe that's where most Albion are heading.

The Blue Parrot at the Barbican is doing free bar snacks and a free £2.32 bet on the National.

I love that place. I understand they are doing a free drink to the first 50 people in there as its national day

He is a big fan of the Blue Parrot chain, although he never did find the one in Chesterfield...

I have not been to The Market Porter before. Checked out their website and it looks like they don't have TV's to watch the FA Cup, any idea if they do? Any idea about if kids are allowed in?
Cheers
Coming from the WEST. Cant be fagged changing at Three Bridges for London Bridge. Looked at the underground map and the quickest, easiest way seems... Victoria, Victoria line to St Pancras, Metropolitan (Pink for Seagull supporters) line all the way to Upton Park. Can anyone see a flaw in this cunning plan?

Apart from the fact the Met Line only runs between Aldgate and Watford/Uxbridge/Amersham (you mean the Hammersmith and City line) and its a bit longer than the other routes - it will get you there. Could always change for London Bridge at East Croydon, or do Victoria Line to Oxford Circus - Central Line to Mile End and from there to Upton Park, could be a bit quicker.
