If so where? The Oakwell AM commentary team are looking for some nice, clean, friendly-run, reasonably priced accomadation, close to the Valley, or in the general vicinity. If anybody could give us any pointers, that'd be great. A place with a bar is obviously essential. It'd be nice to have a post-match drink 'n natter with other super-reds fans who are stopping over in "That London" on Saturday night. Cheers in advance
Surely you'd be better getting a hotel in town rather than Charlton way </p> Charlton isn't exactly Mayfair like.</p>
Just been.... Checking out the Antigallican hotel/pub (ideal!) on Woolwich Rd, but if you can recommend anywhere decent nearer to town that fits the bill.....
RE: Just been.... There'sonly one that I can recommend basedon experience and thats theIBIS in the City (Algate, Commercial St area).</p> Its brand new and usually cheap at weekends, and it has a decent bar. Its also close(ish) to nightlife.</p> Its close to London Bridge too, so no major treking if you decide to drink to drink round the ground for a while after the match.</p> I think we're drinking in the Antigallican so look out for us before the match mate.</p>
RE: I was about to ask the very same question! What time are you setting off mate? I could possibly be tempted as not going out on the Sat night now in Barnsley... staying over and a night out in London could be good if not too expensive!
RE: I was about to ask the very same question! I don't know if I'll be setting off from Glasgow or Barnsley, yet. I'll keep you updated though.
RE: I was about to ask the very same question! We might as well all try and get somewhere together if you're definitely up for going, John. You and Allen have a look on t'interweb and see what you can find and we'll...erm....compare notes and see who comes up with the best option. We'll certainly look out for you pre-match Harrow Tyke, cheers.
RE: I was about to ask the very same question! Will do, mate. How many of you are going? My car is only ickle but I don't mind taking 1 or 2!
RE: I was about to ask the very same question! Not reight sure at minute mate. Missen and Andy for a start, and probably Allen if he decides to go. Andy will be driving, so we're ok for transport - but thanks for t'offer though John.
Mitre Hotel in Greenwich.... Decent place - great food and in the centre of Greenwich, which seems a decent place to gou out. I lived in the Mitre for two weeks when i first moved to London (Y)
Mitre in Greenwich seems like a decent enough place to me Reasonable rates 'n all. The Ibis hotel HT mentioned doesn't seem to be available for Saturday night.
RE: Mitre in Greenwich seems like a decent enough place to me Their Sunday roasts are very popular too! Opposite is Cafe Rouge - mind you, there's a host of eateries around there, and some nice pubs too.
