OK then - anyone going and where is the local beer house ?

Are we expected to go in the "away end" and I assume it's standing.

    How are people getting there, looks to me the best bet is train from Waterloo to some place beginning with an N...? Or is there a better/quicker way?

    Norbiton - it's from Clapham Junction

    Closest game to home for me in 20 years.

    Easy to get a drink at the ground, two huge bars there, with a barbque going on behind the main stand. Although, you might get a game, so don't drink much

    My local ground. A bit crappy to be honest. AFCW bought it off Kingstonian, who are tenants. Mix and match in the main stand with the locals or hack it behind the goal. Used to watch out reserves play there against Chelsea. Cambridge Road is a Chavy bit of Kingston. Best bet is to arrive early and park at the ground, otherwise park in the local streets. Probably get a drink in their rather good social club or a cup of char at half time from the shack. Nice chips if I recall right.
    By train, get off at Kingston and get a bus (131) up the Cambridge road but I forget which one. If walking, about a mile and a half from Kingston or a bit less from Norbitan.

    The only thing that would make me go to this game would be a Wickerman style burning of Pete Winkleman.......

    random memory of past encounters with the wombles away
    it seemed like every trip to plough lane, many moons ago, about 20 minutes into the game it'd kick off in the home end behind the goal, at which point the charlton team would be distracted and we'd let a goal in ...
    and then the charlton boys would be lead around the pitch to the away end ...
    we knew who to pick our fights with lol

    im going, getting a train from waterloo? , We been ''Asked'' by AFC to stand in one of the terriences if i remember correctly, seating is also available, but as im used to standing in the J block, will be taking the standing option, more good news lads, the away stand has a roof so if it pisses it down its not ganna be a repeat of singing in the rain at yeovill xD!

    Why on earth you would choose to drink in Raynes Park over Kingston is beyond me.
