Cheers safe journey up.blackpool72 said:
Hopefully see you tomorrow mate.Chippycafc said:
If you go to Brayford there are 3 pubs a harvester and other eateries such as nando's there.killerandflash said:
I was thinking that, as the Ritz being nearer the ground is far more likely to be the (home) football pub than the other oneChippycafc said:
Currently in the Ritz spoons as I needed to do a walk check for tomorrow , have a Charlton shirt on and the manager says away fans have to use the other spoons in Brayford Wharf.killerandflash said:
A two Wetherspoon city, my kinda placeChippycafc said:
There is a spoons on the high st called the Ritz about 15mins walk to the ground currently in the other one with the other half before a few hours shopping, yippee. £1.99 for tetleys and its gorgeous. Petrol stations up here all open and no bloody queues.cabbles said:
If we get there at a decent hour mate. Typically the coach gets in at 1.30 - 2 for most of the away games I’ve done. I’ll try and look for a pub if there is one close to the ground.Chippycafc said:
Lol enjoy....if you head for Brayford wharf there are two nice pubs at either end, the royal William iv and horse and groom. In the middle of them is a spoons.cabbles said:
DJ coach has just left anchor and hope lane.Chippycafc said:Arrived in Lincoln at 14.30...already livening up in the horse and groom and now the strugglers inn nr the castle.....great real ales so far.Given ourselves a good 30 hours to make sure we don’t get caught in trafficI’ll also look for my man clb74 to present him with John from Larkfield. It will be like seeing a Unicorn
There isnt much else about from here to the stadium.
So would advise if you intend to use this pub, dont wear Charlton stuff openly. Red and white is obviously Lincoln colours too so assume you will get away with that.
It's about 20 to 25 minute walk from there. Well that's my legs.1 -
How far is it from the ground to the cathedral? Is it walking / driving distance?0

Mendonca In Asdas said:How far is it from the ground to the cathedral? Is it walking / driving distance?Not too far probably just over a mile. A lovely walk, but there is a bloody steep hill to get up.Well worth the struggle though. Great pubs, shops and if you like such things the cathedral library is well worth a visit.Has a copy of the Magna Carta (don't you know) amougnst other fine ancient texts.IMO uphill lincoln is far better than downhill where the stadium and more modern shops reside3

Thanks for that Fenland, was hoping to get in there before the game, might be being a tad ambitious and fit in a visit to the castle as well, am I reading this right, the castle and the cathedral are 250 metres apart?0
-
Yep a stones throw away and if you can visit them both. Once you get up the hill everything is very close. Lincoln City is small but steeped in history. The oldest part is up the hill, cause of the defensive advantages, down the hill was developed much later.The good thing about going up 'steep hill' is all the independent shops on the way. Lots to see and do. Gives you a chance to catch your breath!I recommend the Wig and Mitre for refreshments before you get to the top.2

@Chippycafc, being the tour guide of Lincoln, once you have finished breakfast can you pop over to the train station and see what trains have been cancelled back to Newark after the game.
Thanks.0 -

I reckon it's a good 25 minute walk. As fen say best part is the old part, gets typical shabby as you get closer to the ground.Mendonca In Asdas said:How far is it from the ground to the cathedral? Is it walking / driving distance?1 -
this .. and driving in Lincoln is not a great idea on Saturdays, the city has some of England's worst traffic snarl ups .. medieval streets don't cha knowChippycafc said:
