[Albion] Spurs (A) tickets + bar meet

[Iggle Piggle]

To be honest, a bit shit

The exact words I was going to post. We weren't trusted to have pints in a pint glass or pool cue chalk just because. Did catch up with some friends who I didn't know would be there but that and the 15 quid Bacon Cheeseburger were about the only positives.

I certainly wouldn't bother with the next one.

One of the prizes was afternoon with me in Millers chatting shit actually.

I did not enter the raffle but still had to endure you chatting shit and showing your stab wounds to any Sunderland fan will to take a look.

Exactly this. Rip off prices and nothing happening apart from the raffle. Obviously the prizes were good and I'm sure those that won loved it but for the rest of us it was all a bit crap really. Wasn't sure to what to expect but it wasn't that!

My mate was involved in a pretty bad motorcycle accident about 40 years ago and was in hospital for months, needless to see he’s got some impressive scars on his legs.
Not a Christmas party or any sort drunken meet up can occur without him dropping his strides on the middle of the dance floor or while he’s propping up the bar

As much as I like a meet up with my fellow fans im trying to avoid this as much as I can esp away

7 quid a pint to drink out of a plastic glass takes the absolute piss. I've become used to this kind of shit at the ground but there's no need for it in a pub.

Plastic glasses should be reserved outside of major sporting events to Student unions and dodgy boozers with protective glass across the bar area.

It was how I imagined a pre season tour to Florida would be- wannabe American sterile bo**ox!

No Bloom (I know he wasn't promised but a 20 minute hi would have been appreciated), no free pint (noted Newcastle gave 2 to all 50 thousand on Sunday), the expensive beer on offer was in plastic cups, shit and expensive American food, no atmosphere bar 3, I think it was, bits of Seagulls bunting, and a raffle where most of the prizes were bucket hats.

Oh and a 15 minute walk from/to Liverpool Street.

Really trying to work out what the point was- unless club were taking a cut of bar takings?!

I was a bit baffled by the “direct trains to the stadium” comment.

Did anyone hang around for the raffle? Any good prizes?

I won 2 tickets for the training ground tour......happy grandson

I won a bucket hat! It was a bit pricey but then again we were in London! We had a couple of shots (fireballs) as it was buy one get one free. I was quite happy after a fireball and thrashing Spurs - a pretty good end to the season!

There were direct trains from Liverpool Street to White Hart Lane station on the Overground, albeit a 12min walk one end and a 5min walk at the other!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I’d say there was deffo more atmosphere at the one before Leicester that I attended but it was ok or me. I came into Liverpool St from Stansted and saw loads of Orient and Charlton fans. Quick walk to the Sports Bar - beer very expensive but nabbed a table where I could charge my phone(s) and the raffle prizes were very good though I was unsuccessful. Nip back to Liverpool St to join a lot of Spurs fans on the overground to WHL.
If you were with others I get there would be much better venues but as a Billy no mates on this occasion I had a chat with a few other Albion fans and a banana

He was in Brussels, watching USG win the Belgian league.
