I'm in Bethnal Green - Monday to Friday. I can usually get to most Friday night home games (+ Wigan away) if the train is on time though I'm no stranger to the bloke on the "late gate". For any other Friday night away games covered by Sky I'd be happy to stop over in London to watch the Wire in action.
There may be a few veterans on here from the midweek Wire/Bradford drawn game a few years ago watched at the Orange Tree in Richmond. Hulse, Varkulis.........

ChiswickWire wrote:Agreed there are some great pubs around there. I always like the Nell of Old Drury. I used to really like The Sun on Long Acre but it got a new Unionite manager who when the barman tried to put Wire - Wigan on the tele for me a couple of years back said - "we're not putting that Northern rubbish on". It was the last time I ever went there needless to say and has now been 'renovated' and had candles on the table when I walked past the other day. A shame.
Anyway on to tonight - I'm really sorry I didn't get chance to pop into Connolly's last night but having checked the schedules apart from the 1 dayer there's no other sporting competition so I'm confident we'll get it on there. I'll try and call them today if I get chance just to confirm.
So Horatio et al - are you on for a Chiswick Wires in London opening salvo tonight?
Got hammered in the Sun a few years ago watching football.Coach and horses is one of my favs in soho good old sing song on a Wednesday night.

How did it go chaps? Good first game to ease in on I'm sure, it could have been a tense couple of hours if we'd lost. We all up for meeting a week on Friday for our next one?
I'm planning on being there. I've booked my train ticket - just hope I get a match ticket!
One thing I did think of is - if we do happen to get to the Grand Final and maybe win it. We could have a celebration in London - the following week. If you could get the game on DVD even have a re-run of the match if a friendly pub / venue would show it. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves but just an idea...thoughts?
