Pint before a game?

Irishnewboy

Hello Red army..

Just rolled into town and havent a notion about whats what. Im in the area and rather then be a glory hunter and follow a big club in London i follow and will support my local team. CAFC.

Can anyone give me a summary on the pubs in the area to catch a pre, post game pint. Obviously ill be in the North end upper tonight.

Welcome

Guide to local stuff on the left of the screen under Valley Ground Guide.

Oggy Red

Walk into the Liberal Club in Charlton Church Lane 45 mins before the game ..........and ask for Henry Irving, Miserable Old Git, Suicide Steve etc


If you wear a red and white bobble hat and shout out "Red Army", everyone will know it's you and tell you to "Siddarn".

We'll be at the Bugle - we go there or Bartram's in the West Stand.
Royal Oak can be a bit dodgy Ale-wise and the last time we were there it took 10mins to get served!

Irishnewboy

Haha Yeah Oggy Duno bout that!!

Think ill just work my way around in the shadows...

Might give the bugle a crack, kinda on my way down.

JT

Are we going to have to buy you the pint though...?

Irishnewboy

Na, found a tenner on the bus the other night. Might cover one :/

Oggy Red

They are serving Real Ale in the Cupboard End, behind the goal.

I'll introduce you to Nathan Prior. You two sound like you'll get on well.

If you're going to be a proper Charlton fan you should probably make a beeline for the Royal Oak, it being where Charlton Athletic was formed and also the closest pub to the Covered End. Get in there early and sharpen your elbows beforehand, it's a battle to get to the bar on matchday.

I think not. They used to meet and get changed there but not where the Club was formed.

Irishnewboy

Cheers for that MrLargo, nice bit of info..

Might make that bee...

Considering starting now in every pub in the 4 mile radius O_O

Where was the club formed then? I thought it was a merger of youth clubs in the area which was formalised at the Oak.

Irish - Greenwich to Charlton is a cracking pub crawl. Start off at the Trafalgar (bit posh) or The Yacht overlooking the river, down to the Cutty Sark pub, Pelton Arms is worth a visit then follow Trafalgar Road onto Woolwich Road and take your pick all the way to the ground.

Irishnewboy

G to C sounds good.. Think this week ill just work my way down the hill..

Lookin forward to it though.
First game for the club i intend to follow. Cant beat it man.

Curb_It

Bugle and Swan in the village then.

The Swan has another new managemene (again) so hopefully there will be an improvement.

Irishnewboy

Cheers Curb It!!

Henry Irving

The Club was formed in Eastmoor Street, now East street, near by what was the Lads of the Village pub (now a vets).

Never heard any reference to mergers of youth clubs. The boys were 14 and 15 so unlikely to have been in a pub anyway but they would have to have walked past at least three others before reaching the Oak.

Henry Irving

Anyway enjoy the game new boy, hope you bring us luck and you want to come back for more.

EastStand

Hello Irish, you've made a good choice.
The Rose of Denmark does a nice pint. Friendly mix of home and away fans before the match.
You'll find it and all the others here as Henry said.
Welcome to the Red and White army!

AFKABartram

I'll be in the Lib beforehand if anyone wants a babycham

Curb_It

I dont want to sound like a cow but that guide is not very user friendly to someone who is new to the area? The pubs should be listed in order of closeness to the valley.

Irishnewboy

Thanks Henry, Luck i got plenty.. and im hooked already. ;)

Nice one eaststand im sure it wont be long before ive darkened every pubs door.. lets just hope it not all in the one night or ill be falling over the railings in the north upper.

bartram just keep your eye out for a chap in a red n white beanie.. coming to a boozer near you :D

Oggy Red

Are you going to be on your own Mr Irishnewboy?

Not much fun drinking on your own.

Plaaayer

Henry should know, he was one of those boys!

Irishnewboy

Oggy im Irish, you never drink alone even if you enter a pub solo and even if noone talks to ya, theres always those voices in your head.

LOL ......... I know what you mean,

I'm just the same, always seem to get talking to strangers but never told anyone about the voices, the voices, the voices......
I didn't know I had to be Irish though, ha ha

Irishnewboy
