    Well it turns out because of a work trip I'll be landing in Gatwick airport on Saturday May 21st at 12.30pm.

    I'm supposed to be connecting to Guernsey and my options are 4pm or 7.30pm.

    4pm is half time in the Scottish Cup final so I want to get the later flight, my problem is I don't want to have to go into central London because I'll have to make a run for it after the game to make the 7.30 flight (well I could probably make it easy, just want to get more drinking time that rather than train time).

    So anyone any ideas where to catch the game?

    On the left side green bit click on worldwide mate then you'll see a wee England flag with a list that's not all of them but maybe give you and idea they all give directions etc.

    I don't know London to well but i do know that we have more Celtic bars than Chelsea in London so sums it up mate hopefully you get one near :50:

    Me and my girlfriend booked a long weekend in London for this weekend (13th - 17th) and I forgot it was the last game of the season on this weekend. So she'll be getting ditched at Oxford Street while I go off to the supporters club. :icon_mrgreen:

    Here's the thread I made when I was down in London a couple of months ago looking for Celtic pubs. They might be too far away from the airport for you but just incase.

    Could be the best shout actually - I live only 6 miles from Gatwick and there's nothing in the local area, there's a few pubs mind - but I end up nipping to Croydon CSC.

    The Sports Bar at Victoria Station is sure to be showing game

    Yup Googled it already and got my plan ready, should be there for about 1pm.

    Just realised that because I'm flying in from Dubai with Emirates I'm entitled to a complimentary chauffeur service from Gatwick. Might as well take it as it's free so I'll be pulling up in a limo hah :84:
