Ketsbaia Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Will have to start phoning Newcastle bars/pubs but fear everywhere will be ticketed and too late. Tried Shark earlier.

Would be nice to be around other toon fans. Any advice much appreciated. I don't live too far from there. From what I've seen of other cup days, you won't find it hard to latch onto fellow fans in the area. As mentioned there is the Globe opposite the Baker Street station, but it will be packed. There is another smaller pub also called the Globe on Lisson Grove (next to Marylebone station). This is also likely to be rammed full, despite its higher prices (specialises in craft ales). A couple of pubs worth seeking out if you want the chance of a seat are the Thornbury Castle and the Chapel (does tend to open up late though). Still suspect they'll be busy on the day. There is a pub on Balcombe Street (between Marylebone and Baker Street) that is good, but it tends to have restricted entry on cup days. Also a couple of places in Marylebone station itself, but always a heavy police presence on such occasions. You may already know this, but it's a lot quicker going to Wembley with the train from Marylebone (10 minutes) than taking the tube, you just have to watch the frequency timings.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Last time I was in the Globe before an England game, there were people openly pissing on the floor in the middle of the pub. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice and taking the time to describe each option. Plan to get to the stadium early but a drink or two, out and about amongst the black and white brethren, feels like a must do 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Is there any plans for a N-O group meeting up in London (without tickets for the game) that I could join? I was going to watch it in Kilburn with my mate at a screening but he's now got a ticket in the ballot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t heard any specific N-O meet-up plans for the ‘lesser place’, but a number of people have posted ideas for where to watch. Would be nice if there was a recommended venue or someone to link up with, there must be numerous heading there alone. If not follow the black and white shirts and cheer, dance, scream and sing along! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worth starting a thread for it possibly as you’d imagine there will be a few down there without tickets now the ballot is over 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a migrated Geordie on the South Coast and heading to London regardless of having a ticket as cannot let the Manc scum think they have a bigger support. would be great to have a meet up with like minded N-O members Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 What time do folk reckon the masses will start assembling at Trafalgar Square on the Saturday ? Will definitely be heading there at some point, but some civilised pints around the west end/Covent Garden are on the agenda Saturday afternoon/early evening first.

McDog Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 After a quick check Brits Pub in Minneapolis opens 30 minutes after kickoff. I called them and asked if they would be opening early for the Cup Final and the guy said "I'm sure we will". I'm going to confirm that twice over before missing the first 30 minutes after kickoff. That's a non starter. It says they open early for selected sporting events including lots of Rugby matches so I would imagine they will open for the League Cup Final.

Doctor Zaius Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Where are people watching in town? I'm heading out with a few mates but not booked anywhere. I had a knee op a few weeks ago so I need a seat. Thinking of heading out early and just camping in somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Booked to go to boxpark, giving it a go when it opens, we've had the white horse booked for a while as well so depending what boxpark is like, we may head there as the fan zone is just outside of it. Can't wait, despite the nerves kicking in already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 This question gets asked quite a bit over the course of a season ( good pubs to watch the games in) and it mostly goes unanswered . Does anyone here drink in Newcastle ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
