Brazil in London

[Larssonisghod]

any accomadation/pub/transport help from london lads?

fly in early tuesday to stanstead. Any alternative to stanstead express? any B&Bs etc near finsbury pk or anywhere near ground? dont fancy payin loads for a hotel im hardly gonna see. any tips, post here..

[paul_oshea]

no alternative by train, only buses and they go to bethnal green and golders green, finchley road and a few other places like that. not too close to the emirates. But transport in london is pretty good in fairness. If you get the stansted express you can get off at totenham hale, and then get the victoria to finsbury park, and walk to the emirates. so if you were on an afternoon flight or mid afternnon flight you could still make the game in plenty of time. there are loads of "hotels" down around seven sisters road, basic accomodation but cheap.

snap..somewhere cheap and cheerful.. anyone know of any?

[paul_oshea]

there is one and that travelodge crowd in kings cross which isn't far at all from holloway road/or finsbury park i.e. the emirates stadium. 10 mins on tube or so.

Do people want me to put up places? ive never obviouslly stayed in any of these but they are handy places to get home to ireland the morning after and also to teh game.

Islington/kings cross/finsbury park all handy areas, though none of them great areas ,especially for going out!!! Oneills leicester square afterwards would probably be the best spot....

[zenokelly]

I think I'll hold out on booking accomodation for another while.

I would like a place that will be convenient to where fans will be having a few pints post-match but obviously like the rest of yous I'm not sure of where that will be yet.

[ArdeeBhoy]

Noticed a few clues to meet-ups on the, er, YBIG forum. Nothing great accomodation-wise, other than what O'S has suggested.
Google or similar, is yer friend here.

Heya lads, as Paul says, check out the hotels around Finsbury Park, Holloway, Green Lanes. Plenty there in a good location to the ground and finsbury Park tube.

The Quays, Holloway Road

10 minutes walk at most.

Out of the pub turn right. At Holloway Road Station, cross the road and you're there.

Cheers.

The BibleCode Sundays are playing there after the game I believe.

Although not really my patch anymore starting at the Archway Tavern (about 45 minutes walk from the ground there is one big long selection of pubs on the Holloway Road.)

Working down from there The Mother Redcap is in Archway and is a good old style London Irish pub & used to do one of the finest pints of stout in the city. The Quays is also a decent spot (although I think that Superhoops maybe drinking with Usain Bolt if he's making it to the gound in ten minutes!) it also charges Dublin prices. For the Goths amoungst us the Big Red is okay. If your skinto the Coronet is a big souless Wetherspoons effort that serves cheap beer and normally has at least a decent selection of ale. Tommy Flynns is one of the nearest spots to the ground and isn't to bad & despite being packed when you walk in if you perservere to the back of the pub you will find a spot to stand.

Are you down for the match Mr Banton?? If you are I shall be in the 12 pins pre match.

The Quays is a great spot, but as far as I know they were closing at 11pm whereas the 12 Pins at Finsbury Park station is open till midnight.

[Pat O' Banton]

Yep, going with the brat (cue diplomatic incident between Ireland & Brazil!) 12 Pins it is kidder.

I havent checked but one of the lads from the band said they were on after the match, so cant be starting earlier than say 10pm? Id imagine it will be open later than 11pm somehow..
