    Had to laugh about Sunderland fans drinking in Woolwich. When we were up there in 2000 we spoke to this bloke and he said he and his mates had a great day out in Woolwich when they came down for our home game. At the time it was impossible to have a great time in Woolwich.

    Sunderland makes Woolwich look like Kensington.

    I had thought that the plan was to open up the top bar in the Swan for Trust members.

    Not sure how advanced that is but thought the Trust had invited the Chairman of Accrington Stanley to speak before the game on 19th and that was the venue.

    Yes, that is the plan for 19th with a view potentially to making it a longer term arrangement. Watch this space.

    I didn't think the centre of Sunderland was that bad actually. The Wetherspoon was fine certainly!

    Following the demise of the Antigallican, I expect that the Rose of Denmark and the Anchor & Hope will become the most popular local pubs for away fans, although a good number will probably continue to stop off in Greenwich or Blackheath en route.

    Since the closing of the Anti the Rose has been home fans only with door checks. Yesterday there were a couple of Old Bill outside moving any mackems on towards the Angerstein
    Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. completely understandable on the part of the Rose but a bit of a shame.

    The Anti had become a total fleapit but it did serve a purpose in syphoning off a good number of away fans. Good news that the White Swan is opening the upstairs bar, as long as they can staff it properly and ensure plentiful beer supplies.

    As I said, I think White Swan upstairs may be for CAST members only...

    don't really understand how they will police that they can barely remember who is next at the bar - common sense would also say don't have people sitting at the bar on busy days.

    there are 3 or 4 biggish lads that get there for opening sit at the bar and get increasingly pissed off when people bump into them

    Yes, I saw that. Perhaps an incentive for people to join.

    Anchor was too busy and five deep at the Bar on Saturday by all accounts

    The Rose was sending Sunderland supporters in this direction

    Exactly! Match days move the bar stools out of the way!

    Just seen on Twitter that the Merdian Sports club bar will serve drinks at club member prices if you show a match or season ticket. Only a 10 minute walk down hill from there

    Got a few mates from Brighton coming up tommorow, what's the best away pub for them to visit near the ground? I usually drink round London bridge.

    I don't think there are any decent away pubs near the ground. I assume most away fans just drink around London Bridge

    the police prefer away fans to use the Angerstein.

    Thank you all, I think Greenwich might be best as I guess it would be easier to park there too?

    Quite a distance from the ground though, when compared to staying in London Bridge and getting a train straight to Charlton station

    The angerstein really isn’t THAT far , it’s a couple of minutes on from the Pickwick (RIP) which was a standard home pub. But anyway, more to the point, it’s 30 seconds walk from westcombe park station which is much easier to just jump on a late train for 2 mins , 1 stop, than London Bridge.

    i think it’s a good shout

    This is what i would advise too. Saves running the gauntlet of the Rose of Denmark too, if they were in ambush mood.

    What about the 'Anchor In Hope' on the Thames Path in Anchor In Hope Lane ?

    Yes - excellent beer and really good food. Generally no queue for the bar, either. My number one choice if you don't mind a walk to the ground.

    Good luck doing that walk in 30 seconds.
