kingston_toon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The Cock and Lion has been building up for a few years now, and there's always a decent turn out on match days (packed for the big games). It can be a bit quieter for midweek games but there'll still be plenty there to cheer on the lads. The biggie for me is: will they show Newcastle even if Arsenal / Spurs etc are on at the same time? The answer is yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well I think Cock and Lion it is then. I presume it has a good crowd of Newcastle fans in there for live matches anyway but a little unofficial N-O gathering couldn't hurt. I'll be there, guess you have to get in early to get a good spot so about 1.30 in the afternoon sounds good to me. 1.30, the match don't kick off till 7:45 haha And your point is?

PRL Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Was debating it as I am currently sat a matter of yards away, however I am watching it with a Forest fan and think I will do so in the solitude of my flat. The lads down there are always good craic, although I tended to see most of them down the Famous Three Kings - hopefully will again if we get promoted (they show any game provided there is a live feed for it somewhere in the world, which tended to be the case when we were in the Premier and sadly is no longer) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 neesy - a group of 4 of us are going indeed. Although two are me and my mate Dave's girlfriends, but they've been lent Toon tops for the cause. I'm in an old grey 80s away top, stop by for a chat if you fancy!

Jamie87 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Went here last night. Nice pub, good interior and that. Friendly staff and the rumour of £2 a pint if you're in a toon top is true. Not many geordies in last night though. I'd definitely consider going again but it'd be nice if there were more toon fans. Thanks to the OPer for the heads up. Just moved down here so it's nice to not feel totally alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Afraid the only place i'll be watching it is at home. I got pre-season training for my baseball team on saturday mornings at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingston_toon Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We'll all be in the Cock and Lion, near Bond Street Tube, as usual. If I can get my arse out of bed in time, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 You'd have to pay me to drink that sh!te! Stella, Broon or real ale has got to be the way forward. MAN UP Scoob! lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schmocky Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The Barley Mow still exists but is just another London boozer after John and Mary left in 2007 (I think). The London Mags organised a similar arrangement with the Cock and Lion on Wigmore Street, close to Bond Street tube but the other side of Oxford St. It's a bit small, especially for the bigger games. Serves a purpose but lacks something IMO. Me auntie and uncle, used to love going in there for the match when My dad lived down london. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
