Hi, I'm coming over from Norway for the Bournmouth match. One of my friends supports Southampton and he wants to see the Saints match on Sky at 5.20. Can we find a pub close to The Valley that has Sky? :-)
But the royal oak, from experience usually has the early game on. So i reckon they show the later ones too.Also they have three screens, two decent sized ones so you can get a good view. But you might wanna order a few drinks at a time as the bar seems to get quite crowded.
Bugle or Swan definitely. The Oak's a nice pub but the wait for service is painful.
Bit off topic, but has anyone on here been in any of the 3 pubs not to far from the ground on Woolwich Road/Woolwich Church Street - The White Horse, Clancys and The Albion? Never have reason to go in that direction coming from Lewisham, but I've driven past a few times and always wondered if they're worth a visit.
The Rose of Denmark on the woolwich Rd always has the televised matches and is very friendly to away fans and home fans pre match,only home fans are allowed post match but just show your home ticket at the back door.
The White Horse, Clancys and The Albion, yes, and all of them never again.
The White Horse; a dump
The Albion; low life
Clancys; I used to go in this one evry game untill the owner had an issue with one of my friends lads. Absolutly nothing problem but he gave me the hump.
Cheers for the info Keston, suspected that might be the case, I'll leave them alone then. Shame that places like that stay open whilst there's dozen of decent places shutting every week.
Many thanks!:-) Cant wait! My last visit was Charlton - Notts County last season. Its pure magic for me seeing all the red shirts on a matchday. Seems like Bugle or Swan is the best option after the match:-) went to the Oak pre-match last time. I guess we will do the same this time around.
Bartrams is open post-match and is generally comfortable for beers or a coffee, but the big screen 'tv' is shite, i mean a very poor picture, you have to squint hard to even see the score in the corner.
While i'm on the subject, those bars under the north stand are such an under-used resource. Catering and security staff are literally hanging out there passing time at half time- fair enough they may just be taking a well deserved break But we are stuck with north stand catering facilities that are as piss poor as the day they were put in. Even Bromley FC has quality facilities (throughout the match). An under-used resource like that on a matchday is strange, if not scandalous.
The bugle in the village is by far your best bet. Do not go to Bartrams as they don't have a clue what the punters want. no TV's and one unwatchable screen.

Oslo - what you really mean is that you can't wait to get shit-faced on beer that is a third or a quarter the price it is back home. If you make a real weekend of it you can cover the airfare! Hope you have a great weekend.

Most pubs have sky around the valley.

Does Bartrams stay open post match?
