Realistically there are no pubs in walking distance to the ground that take away fans. If getting the train, drink round Borough market if near London Bridge, or pubs around Waterloo. Or drink in Greenwich and get the train 2 stops to Charlton
London Bridge probably isn’t a good idea. Not wishing to be rude but these are boys from the sticks. Friday night, drinkers from the City, commuters trying to get home, Charlton at home at a packed ground, they won’t get on a train and will be lucky to get there by half time.
It depends what time you expect to be in London. The George is a lovely pub just a couple of minutes away from London Bridge and serves real ale and food so a good stop for a late lunch. I would not hang around for rush hour, so if you are getting in about 4ish, I would head for Greenwich. Look on the internet for a pub you like the sound of, they are all reasonably as it is a tourist area as a nice village feel and Cutty Sark moored up there. Safe journey to you all, I hope you all get to bed early and have a great season next year. Whatever happens, I hope we play each other the season after next.

Are the 'Angerstein' and the 'Anchor In Hope' no longer taking away fans ? I've never liked the former but I was in the Anchor In Hope with some Sunderland supporting mates before our game back in January. It was full of Mackems and was absolutely fine. There are lots of tables outside by the river as well for a nice evening.
Local pubs have been dropping like nine pins but it's shame if there is nowhere near the ground for away fans, especially as we were treated so well up at Donny on Sunday.
As AKFA says, Greenwich a good alternative, as is Blackheath (which is only one stop down the line).
Just stfup about the Anchor, please!
Come on Weegie - where is your sense of hospitality ( ! ). I'm sure they'll be able to squeeze you in at the Anchor In Hope.

Bloke behind the bar is dickhead and the beer is terrible.
Rovers need to win the game. We don't. I expect them to come out of the blocks very fast and hope to score early. The longer it goes on without them scoring the more chances we will have of picking them off. I hope Bowyer goes to win the game and not sit back. That could be a big mistake

i think the opposite, they'll be desperate to not let in an early goal. They'll aim to get to half time without conceding. We concede more goals in the first 15/20 minutes after the break.
Maybe I’m turning into a proper lifer snowflake now, but I feel a bit for him, he wanted it so bad, all for a giggle at him but abusing him on the pitch is a no from me.
Spoke too much before the game and was definitely over thinking it when he stepped up for their pen. Part of me feels bad because it was his big moment and in all honesty he had a decent game. Other part says sod him, gobby twat.
If he had scored his pen he would have been giving it large to us no doubt
There's a lot of Donny players you could feel bad for but he isn't one of them. The celebrations in front of our fans at the 88th minute goal summed them up.

This as well, Wilks was getting so cheeky to our fans, had his hands around his throat suggesting we had choked from what I could see.
Honestly the more I think about it stuff em', better team on the night but over the course of the season we are the undisputed better team and deserve Wembley.
The longer the game went on the more it seemed to me that their players and fans started to display a "chippy" small club mentality. Nothing particular against Marquis (other than the ex Millwall bit), but I would have loved their fat centre half to have missed the crucial spot kick. In the end I found myself just as pleased that they ended up LOSERS as I was that we were winners, if that makes sense
To be honest don’t see what he brings, Taylor is twice the player off the ball and for the team. Did manage to pop up in the right place at the right time though. Apart from that pretty average player tbh. Don’t think he’d do that well at a higher level, unlike Taylor

Close-ish to ground and the view is nice though.

Terrible penalty
