Thames link is usually a better bet for me than the underground.. the St Pancras Thames link is immediately below the main platforms for trains From Derby. oh and the George is a good choice a really old pub but views of the shiny new Shard.

Yes it is, been a couple of times before when we played at Millwall, also The Old Thames, The Bunch of Grapes and The Wheatsheaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 My train from Waterloo East does not stop at London Bridge but I might pop in the hole in the wall for a swift one at Waterloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some company over a few beers, I'm heading for 'The George' just South of London Bridge Station on the main A3, I'll be there about 1215. Sure there will be lots of Rams in the pubs around that area/Borough Market. Hi mate I've only just read your message but defo catch up another game for a couple of cheeky ones before the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously aren't a real fan. Proper fans get totally obliterated before the game even starts. Much more enjoyable day, but who knows how they get home! On the train that got to Charlton about half 2, a wasted Derby fan starting giving another quiet Derby fan loads of stick. I think it started off as banter, buy then he got aggro for some reason. Eventually, an older fan who (I think) was with think smashed Ram, came over and was rightly having a go at him for being an idiot. This prompted another random smashed fan in a Stone Roses style hat to come over and almost start on the older guy, I presume because he didn't realise he was a Derby fan. Pretty embarrasing and almost got stuck on the train at Charlton Station as it was about to properly kick off. Fortunately, people getting off the train diffused the situation. Pretty embarrassing and I doubt the 2 drunkest fans will even remember this, let alone the game. Was surprised that the fool who ran on the pitch BEFORE the game wasn't one of these two. What a day out he had. Saw no football, will probably be fined and not allowed to go to games again. Plus called a W****r by the whole of the away end.

If it was you - you'd just bought food and drinks from that little hut on the far side of the ground from the entrance. Brian had his silver grey 3rd shirt from 2018-19 and you were in white. You were with another lady as well with short greying hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a day out he had. Saw no football, will probably be fined and not allowed to go to games again. Plus called a W****r by the whole of the away end. Unfortunately I work quite local to Charlton and was on nights so went straight to work from the game and had to put up with the footy banter from Charlton fans at work One of whom showed me the text sent at 15:15 to one of his mates saying " we are proper getting torn a new one here! " so that kinda summed up how the first half was going and how dominant we were even though we somehow lost!! to a pretty crap team IMO ( I did say this as well as I'm pretty straight talking lol ) Now apparently the idiot who came on the pitch waving the corner flag might be known to the Charlton fans i spoke to last night and said it wasn't the first time it had happened its also happened at a couple of other games where a fan comes on and waves the corner flag...they seem to think its the same bloke who carries out some sort of protest but of course they could be wrong and someone may know him on this forum Yep my train to the ground had a group of Charlton fans who were goading literally everyone on the train because there were about ten of them ( all about 18/19 ) giving it large and had a shandy or two but can bet not one of them wouldve said a word if not mob handed I've never liked that side of football if i'm honest I've attended literally hundreds of Derby and England matches and although i love the pub and the football I dislike the stupid element who can't handle there pop and all of a sudden think wearing a stone island top makes them hard lol.... ariotofmyown, Grumpy Git and angieram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
