Beforehand lot of us were in the Yates/Lloyds on the high street last time (about 10 minutes walk from the ground), then I think a fair few went to a boat-pub afterwards.
One of my top away days that was, brilliant all round.
Also if I read correctly, the last season before Peterborough redevelop the away end (if they stay in the championship). Make the most of the terrace while it's there!
If you like something a little different try Charters, which is a pub on a barge. I went there last time. It does good food & drink. If I was going this time, that's where I'd be heading, without a shadow of doubt. See the link. The photo of the barge doesn't do it justice imo, it's more impressive inside & as you can see from the map, it's only a 10 min walk from the ground.
It's three stops on the train for me so I'm looking forward to this one. If its half as good as our last visit to London Rd then we are in for a treat .
We're a Category B match and a 19:45 kick off, right?

I can get return tickets on the train for a tenner too. The last return (for me) leaves Peterboro at 21:45 which is a bit of a problem... Taxi maybe? Too tight to get back from the ground do you think?
Gutted this is a Tuesday cos if this was a Saturday I'd be there like a shot. Just for a chance of a bit of terrace time would be nice. Peterborough away is also the most pissed I've been at a Charlton game. Pitched up in the Seven Stars and mixed way too much lager, Newcastle Brown and Southern Comfort. All I can remember about the game is Garry Nelson scored the winner and some dirty bastard spat on my back on the walk through town. Still had wobbly legs by the time I got back to York.
Callum, given that our games always finish excessively late then I think you'd have to leave before the end. Is a 15 minute walk to the station from what I remember, a taxi wouldn't help a great deal and they probably wouldn't be able to park right by the ground.
I'm there, got to catch that last train back to. Two of us going are fit enough for a decent pace jog if need be. Might try that barge pub for hand as get up there about 17.30.
Great ground and town real shame this wasn't a sat! Remember driving up n down the main road with valley floyd road blasting out from the car watching very pissed off borough fans going home,yep parkys finest hour indeed.

Peterborough away seems one ground alas i'm destined not to make , i haven't got the time off left to make this one, & i was all set to go to the famous 5-1 Away victory , but alas was stricken down with a feverish bout of manflu, my 2 lads have reminded me incessantly that i ducked out of it.

45 mins from London on the train and a proper terrace too.
And it's standing! Surely we will take 1.5k??
If anyone has been before, do they know any good boozers?
