Travel help for Saturday

Can anyone give me advice on how to get to Craven Cottage from Kings Cross, as it looks like the kings cross underground station is gonna be closed after last weeks terrible events. I was expecting to get the tube from there?

 

It's been a while since I lived in London but Euston station isn't too far away (down the Euston Road). You could get the Northern Line to Embankment from there, and then switch onto the District Line for Putney Bridge. Someone else might know better than me though.

 

I've just been talking to a Fulham fan and he reckons from Kings Cross you get the underground to Hammersmith, from there its a ten minute walk to the Cottage. I'll probably be coming down from Northampton by car! if you have any problems drop me an E-mail.

I have to agree with Paddy, after looking at the map Putney Bridge looks a lot closer than Hammersmith!!!

heres the underground map if thats any help.i'll be taking my son to his first Celtic game so i'll be getting the train into charing cross then just a short walk to embankment then tube to putney bridge

 

The Guardian says that right-wing groups are planning to hold a march along the Embankment tomorrow over the London bombings. It might be an idea to avoid the area altogether.

 

cheers heres to a good day tomorrow, cant wait to see Zurawski

 

Anybody going to any pubs before the match, I heard there are a good few neutral pubs near the ground and I also heard about an O'neills being very close it is just my train arrives at 12.03 pm and have nothing to do till kick off, just thought if anyone had any suggestions

 

i'd advise anyone not to wear thier colors tomorrow as these * are known to have a hatred of us "combat 18 and bnp" and will well be aware we are playing a london team

 

Thanks for the warning, but is anyone meeting anywhere, you no safety in numbers and that, im not sure about not wearing my colours but im taking my younger brother so I dont want to get caught up in anything we cant handle so will probably have to turn into undercover celts! Im not ashamed of the greatest team in the world but these groups arent planning on attacking any one with daisies, so I suppose its safety is the best options.

 

how many of us going there's me and my 9 yr old son and you and your brother it seems the london no1
celtic supporters club is meeting at
The * Tavern

London

Bar Information

The Clem Atlee Bar, Rylston Rd (near Fulham Swimming pool) has a band (Murphy's Law) before and after the game. They are also having a BBQ (weather permitting). The nearest Tube station is West Brompton, District Line.


Mike Marvins Celtic Disco Roadshow
will be providing pre-match entertainment on 16th July from 11am until 2pm at O'donoghue's pub, 147 Goldhawke Road, Shepard's bush, London W12. (10 mins from ground).Free Admission

 

Im getting off at Euston train station at 12.03pm, that means I will be around London for 3 hours, I havnt really planned this very well but I didnt consider when we got to London we wouldnt be welcomed with open arms(naive you could say) I was expecting to get shown the route by a big line of glorious celtic fans but I dont want to get caught up in the wrong area, I will definately have a look around for the * tavern that seems the safest bet but do you know how far away Euston is from Craven cottage, i mean do you think that it is a train journey or a long walk, to be honest I dont have a clue, I have looked at London maps but cannot get my head around the scale, I cant tell the difference between short stroll and a plane journey.

 

ok i had a look up at the route from euston to putney bridge and it looks like it'll be agro

think i'll go to
O'donoghue's pub, 147 Goldhawke Road, Shepard's bush, London
10 mins from ground and i won't get caught in traffic

 

Get the tube. These instructions were posted on the Kerrydale forum. This website will give you more info including fares. Simple piece of advice if you're new to the tube is to stand on one side of escalators to allow folks in a rush to get past you.

A daily travelcard 'zones 1 to 2' should cover you.


"For those heading to Euston, get the Victoria Line (Blue) to Victoria then change on to the District Line (Green) Westbound.

There are various branches on this line, and the trains for Fulham Broadway / Putney Bridge say Wimbledon on the front and the timer boards overhead.
If there are no Wimbledon trains you can take a Richmond or Ealing train to Earls Court, get off there and pick up a Wimbledon bound train on the same platform."

 

Thanks, Im going to try find O'donoghues then, are there any other neutral places to go and what are the no go zones is this some sort of sick joke, a planned march with people who arent our best friends and half the tubes down so we cannot avoid them, never been to London so I dont have a clue whats going to happen but whatever does Im sure it will be a great day

 

you should be ok aslong as you stay away from embankment and charing cross,picaddilly circus which you will my only fear is these retards coming up to fulham knowing we are there.i'll be at O'donoghue's pub by about 12.30-1 just noticed the celtic fans are meeting up at the euston bar AFTER the game so you'll be ok getting back

 

When I lived in London I liked Putney and Fulham myself. There should be loads of Celtic supporters there as well which is always a bonus

 

I'm going Mate by car from Northampton If I can pick you guys up somewhere, no Problem

 

Alrite thanks for all the great help from everybody, Ill probably be in O'donogues as soon as I can, it wont be hard to recognise me Ive broke my left hand so I have it all bandaged up, so If you see me come over and say hi, im more than welcoming after a few drinks, but arnt we all
