You're right about booking ahead. I've just had dinner in Dukes, next door to Albert's Shed, and it was really good. You'd probably need to book ahead there as well.

kick off for me is one o clock. watch it ont he tv at home with beers, some sandwiches and a bottle of nice whiskey. i hate not being able to go to the game. lunch time drinking is never a bad thing! and then a bbq and a birthday party after the game. if we win, it will be a long, drunken afternoon/evening. if we lose, im not going out!

I hate you just for your username & location of where you live.

That's funny because I bet he'd probably sell his first born to swap with you on Saturday

I agree. My favourite place in the world but would rather be in wet and windy Manchester on Saturday.

its true. i miss a lot not being close to home, and the vast majority of it i can console myself with thoughts of that i am here for a reason and i love it. missing out on wembley once, and old trafford twice is tough though....especially last years gf. success has coincided with me moving, so as long as we are successful, i will gladly continue to take one for the team, and slum it out here while you all enjoy the big occassions

I'm going on Saturday, but if there's anyone wants to buy two daughters, then I'll readily sell them.Both high maintenance (in case they're both reading, I don't really mean it).

Plans changed, in the Walkabout on Quay St from midday, shouldn't be too packed get an hour in Sam Platts at around 4 then walk to the ground.

Train from Yorkshire into pic for just before 2 then a few jars on route to Oxford road grab the football special train then back afterwards into oxford road few more then last train back to banjo land.

Lonsdale lol.

Are there any 'old man' pubs (I'm thinking proper ale on tap) in town/Orford for a few (hopefully celebratory) drinks with other Wire fans for this evening? Being exiled in Leeds for 15 years/too young to frequent these kind of places before I left, I could with a steer.
