Me + 3
lookin forward to it :D
There are about 14 of us heading over. Staying in what must be the dodgiest hotel ever.... working out at €20 each per night :eek:
Me + 1, the new Mrs. CTP, for whom it will be her first exposure to any football, of any discription, ever. (fingers crossed for me now, boyos, for if she doesnt like it, my life just got complicated)
Me and the ma are going over, but what I need to know is does anyone know:
- The time the train goes down to London from Hollyhead?
- Station closest to Craven Cottage
- How many hours down?

Quick warning;If you go to Brogans, be warned.
Whilst the pub is fine, some of the local natives(Not known for their love of the Irish) are truly revolting!
& happy to hand out more than just verbals.....
Go Closer to Fulham, or Hammersmith.
And don't broadcast it on here?
Would they really be that naive or stupid if the pub is full of Green shirts?....me thinks not!Quote:

ardeebhoy i think we might have a person in common.....
The pub is Irish in name and everything else, I don't think on a thursday there will be too many chelski fans hanging round looking for a fight.....I could always be wrong though!
The area itself is fairly posh too, but you are right when chelski organise fights it usually happens round there.
Paul.....should we move elsewhere then?...nearer the stadium?Quote:

ya just going to add, ive seen bible code sunday in waxys before, great band that play great irish tunes and play them very well.
I spoke with the manager and the lads had spoken to him already so thats why he is doing the deal already. anyhow looking forward to the day later today.
Another option for you lads is to travel to Putney mainline station. Then you can have a few pints in one of the many lovely pubs in Putney plus some decent grub too before crossing the bridge for the match.
This might be much easier for some. Saw some are coming from Gatwick for example. Easiest way to get from there is a train to Clapham Junction and then it is three minutes on another train to Putney.
All these trains go from Waterloo and Vauxhall too.
I live in Putney and it is a really nice area with plenty of drinking/eating options if that is what you are looking for.
The place is full of Aussies/Kiwis/and Saffas so it will be nice to see some Irish hanging around.
lads anyone who sees this and is going to brogans before the game will ye bring some good cds. By that obviouslly i mean irish songs....
is it not a bit of a walk from brogans to the stadium?
ya about 12 - 15 mins as i said before if ye head down bishops road.Quote:

Directions help would be great as I'm limited by time at work today to search.
Thanks,

It is beside Fulham Broadway tube station, its literally 49ft according to google maps. When you come out of the tube turn right and its on the left. Sorta on the corner/turn of the road.

its just called brogans above but that should identify it easy enough the tube is literally just round from there.
Fulham Broadway tube for Brogans(turn right?) & Putney Bridge station for The Cottage.
Please NB. 'Rush hour', as in extra time!
Ya good point. Actually it would be great to get a tube full of Irish singing when all the Toffs are on their way home and annoy them, as they hate to change face on the tube.Quote:

Red arrow is Brogans so it is right by Fulham Broadway.
If you are going via Hammersmith - best bet is to take the Piccadilly line to Earls Court and then the district line to Fulham Broadway (should only take 10-15).
Or you could get the 211 bus outside the station straight to Fulham Broadway - might be a bit longer depending on the traffic.
According to the TFL website the walk from Hammersmith to Fulham Broadway is 43 minutes - go towards West Kensington station on Talgarth Road. You'll pass Barons Court on your way but when you get to West Ken turn right onto North End Road and then it is a long straight walk until it meets the Fulham Road. Brogans and Fulham Broadway tube station are to your left on the Fulham Road.
TFL also has the walk from Brogans to the ground at 26 minutes. They are always quite conservative though but give yourselves 20 minutes.
