Interpolic Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The Cock and Lion's a good pub - went to see the Villa match there last season and it was like a home away from home with all the familiar accents and NUFC shirts.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm moving away as well, to Manchester in a few weeks. I might as well use this thread to ask of there's any good places to watch games in the city centre or the Salford area? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Noted. My flat's in the Quays area. Salford itself looks a bit grubby so no doubt i'll be frequenting the bars of Manchester more often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Noted. My flat's in the Quays area. Salford itself looks a bit grubby so no doubt i'll be frequenting the bars of Manchester more often There isn't anywhere really in Manchester city centre where toon fans congregate to watch the match, the Lass O'Gowrie and The Red Lion were mentioned when nufc.com asked people to get in touch about where people watch the match around the country, the Lass O'Gowrie is ok, quite small but always has games on and often multiple games, the Red Lion in Withington will be a bit of arse to get to from where you will be living, has a big screen but whenever I've watched Newcastle games in there it seemed as if I was in the only Newcastle supporter in there.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Aye i read about the Lass O'Gowrie somewhere, seems ok. The office i'm based in is on Quay Street and is on top of The Grapes pub which looks really good. Think i'll be in there now and again for a post work sip.

kingston_toon Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The Cock and Lion is excellent, and always full of Toon when we're on legal telly - the owners are great and will always show us, regardless of who else is on. There's also a Facebook group - search for "Newcastle Supporters in London" - and a proper London Supporters Club, who take part in the pool and darts league, amongst other things. There are loads of us down here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.T. work in the north east is shocking at the moment, especially for graduates, tbf it's only 3 hours back on the train, i'll be coming back up for most home games (at least I'll be able afford to go now).

Theregulars Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Been down here for years - it's not that bad... There's actually quite a lot of Toon supporters. Was in one of the home stands for the Palace match on saturday and I'd say at least a third of it was in black and white stripes or the urine kit. Bloomsbury is a really pleasant area in central London which has tonnes of SkySports pubs, whenever we're on they'll show it. I'm yet to find a Mag-specific one, mind....

kingston_toon Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Cock and Lion, Wigmore Street, is 100% Mag-specific. If the game is on legal telly, we'll be on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie418 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Used to go in a boozer just up from Highbury & Islington station on Holloway Road (The Wig & Gown) years ago, was always good when we were on the telly (crapboozer though). There's the Archway Tavern further up the road which was a bit hit and miss, got a bit lively in there at times. There was another boozer around that way that got rammed with Mags during the derby match, I think there was a message posted on a mackem site advertising it to fellow makems to watch the match, word got round to seize the pub so we did, no bother really, just a dozen sad looking mackems surrounded by black and white. I did return there the next derby match to find more equal numbers and a few Mags had brought bunches of bananas along which got thrown around when we scored, would of been class if the bastards hadn't equalised. BTW, London's a cracking place if you know where to go, lived there for seven years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkey Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Cock and Lion, Wigmore Street, is 100% Mag-specific.

Groo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There's the Barley Mow on Duke Street, just off Oxford Street close to Bond Street tube station, 0n the corner with George Yard. Run by Newcastle fans and full of toon on match days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 After uni, I spent 5 months looking for a job in Newcastle before I realised I would have to start applying for everything regardless of location.

kingston_toon Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There's the Barley Mow on Duke Street, just off Oxford Street close to Bond Street tube station, 0n the corner with George Yard. Run by Newcastle fans and full of toon on match days. The Geordie owners of the Barley Mow left around 3 years ago and the new owners removed Sky Sports (although I think they got it back eventually) All the old Barley Mow regulars are now at the Cock and Lion.
