Angerstein - new away pub

AFKABartram

Being offered by the police as the new away pub. Fair old walk from the station

Am i right thinking its run by a Millwall fella?

fair old walk to the ground too although for the away end I guess its what 10-12 mins? Station is Westcombe park, also bus from o2

When you come out of the pub, cross the road on the other side and jump a bus. Don't get a 199.  Buses are fairly regular, I live in Greenwich and I get a 180 or 177 from Greenwich to Charlton.

Horrible pub.

Sounds like a good choice for any of those who bricked and stoned us in the past then 😈.

yeah millwall pub they opened up when all the others were closed when we played millwall a few years back - shithole from the outside - never been in. 

Alwaysneil

It is it Si about a 10-15 min walk to the away end, or it’s a 3 minute walk to westcombe park station and 1 stop on the train to Charlton. 

Hopefully police will also be staffing Westcombe Park because a few hundred blues fans all trying to squeeze on the last couple of trains before the game could be a problem. 

And yeah its a rubbish pub

imagine most large followings this season will be using London bridge for pre match. 

got a pal coming in from abroad for the leeds game, and he suggested meeting at london bridge think ill change location. 

in general match day pubs at charlton are pretty poor

the swan is okay - but pricey and stuffy regulars that seem to take offence that they do not have a chair 
the bugle - never has enough staff 
the oak - the pint of guinness in a coke glass was the last straw, dive 
rose of denmark - never been

wont be a Millwall pub on a matchday if you know what I mean..

Don't forget the Anchor in Hope. Sit outside on a nice day and only 10 minute walk.

Definitely have become short of matchday drinking venues. The Angerstein is a mile from the away end (i.e. 20 mins walk for those up to it). Probable that the police feel obliged to recommend somewhere as a means of containment for their 'element'.

Better cheaper facilities at the ground will happen one day surely, eventually, to cash-in on this match day drinking trade. 

Alwaysneil

Not away pubs but for decent home (with a few away fans) match day drinking:

River Ale House
Anchor & Hope
White Swan
Pelton Arms
Cutty Sark
Pilot

None of the above that near the ground. The closest home (only) pubs being the Oak and the Rose of Denmark both of which will do you a fairly low grade pint of beer. personally would say the same about the Bugle Horn which is close to the Swan, has a pool table but not great beer. 

Good to have an away pub that caters for lots of lager away fans ideally near the ground. In the absence of that either at the ground or at London Bridge seem like better options for them

Not sure that good news for those in the beer garden of the RoD if away support walks past 'en-masse'

At £3.80 a pint or thereabouts, I find the Swan about the most reasonable pub in London for some decent beers. In Tooting at the moment - big pre-match warm-up this weekend - and it's £4.90 a pint.

Like the Rose, but beer there and at the other two is never great anyway - Rose marginally better.

Where is the away pub for St Andrew's ?  The train station?  Let them walk 20 mins.

Locally known as 'The Pit'  - horrible pub, horrible landlord.

Sounds like my kind of pub.

Went in there before our last game at your place. Got a massive wooden Millwall lion on the wall just behind the bar. 

InspectorSands

Handy if you want a pint of Fosters at 8.30am on the morning of the London Marathon, mind.

It is at least 35 years since I've been in there - it was a shithole then.

used to go there a while ago now usually use the swan or blackheath

Plenty of away fans have started drink in Spoons in Greenwich by the DLR tube stop. Nearest spoons to the ground I think.

Woolwich is about the same.

Plenty of options in Woolwich for a beer.  I don't know why more people don't go there before the game.
