London pub for play-off 1st leg..

[brighton_tom]

Is there a pub that any London based seagulls fans will be using to watch the first leg of the play-offs?

Cant make it to the match but would be good to watch it on Sky in a pub with a few other Brighton fans.

Sports Cafe on Haymarket.

Table service.

Bit pricey......by the sports Bar in Haymarket does it for me.

Was just about to start this exact thread, Sport's Cafe is dirt, but guaranteed a decent atmosphere with a fair few Brighton and a fair few Palace. Could get nawty!

Another decent pub for football in London is The White Hart on Mile End Rd in Whitechapel, perhaps a bit out of the way though for a gathering? Any other suggestions?

Sports Cafe is no good.

Sports Bar in Marylebone station, reserve a bunch of tables for a bunch of us? White Hart is a great shout.

Will keep an eye on this, cracking idea

What makes you say that ? The manager used to be a Brighton fan (not sure if he's there anymore mind) but anyone who was at the carnage with Swindon game might think it to be a lucky venue..!

Didn't know that - could change things!

Over-priced warm, flat beer and a lack of atmosphere. Plus on a Friday night it will just be over-run with tourists and/or students.

Fancy going somewhere where I can enjoy the game and bite my nails with genuine fans. Appreciate that's tricky anywhere in London!

The White Hart sounds good. Thats just down the road from me... Watched some Champions League football in there and was a decent place to enjoy the match. Would much prefer that suggestion to the Sports Cafe. As mentioned on a friday night it will be rammed with people not bothered about the game...

White Hart for me then!

Think that's a great shout, always liked watching footy in there. What time will you get there? Will see if I can round up some troops and get all the seats in front of the big screen.

Probably get there from about 6ish..

Would definitely recommend this pub for any other London based seagulls!

Anyone watching it in North London?

 

[essbee]

actually - that white hart place looks quite good.

White Hart for me as well, just round the corner and never hear anything bad about the place.

Will be in the White Hart as well then!

 

[MuppetMaestro]

It is The White Hart by Sainsburys Whitechapel we're talking about, right? Or is it The White Hart further down Whitechapel Road by Aldgate East station?

Yeah the one by Sainsburys, the one by Aldgate East is horrendous!

I'm in London Friday, clearly was hoping to be at Palace game but now sold out will make my way to White Hart as there's going to be a few Albion there.

God that was a good night.

I remember reading about that on here - almost made me wish I'd been at the Sports Cafe rather than Withdean! Not a fan of sports bars generally but always a good atmos in there.

Just thought I'd bounce this thread, in case anyone missed it over the bank holiday weekend. The more the merrier!
