Pub for Palace away

The George sounds a good shout , , , lets hope they know we are coming!!

I see the Railway Telegraph is right next to Thornton Heath station is that a friendly away pub?!

You seem to be obsessing about been allocated an "away" pub.
Check the post earlier about the above.

Quoted from Posh Harry

Got a mate who is a palace fan and he has also said that The George (which I assume is the same pub) at Thornton Heath is the away fans pub.

It’s in Thornton Heath. 5 minute walk from station.

Not obsessing as such just joining the discussion on this here forum!

Why don't you just give us a list of topics we can and can't discuss. That'll save you time pointing out our errors.

Telegraph open for away fans.

What a wonderful idea.
But to be honest it's an internet forum-people can post any opinions they like.

Thanks for this, it is good of you to follow it up to let us know.

Excuse me if I won’t wish you luck on Saturday. Let’s hope football is the winner (and it’s the cup so of course I mean the lower league underdog 🙂)

I've been giving this some thought as although I don't know the Selhurst Park area very well, I've spent quite a bit of time recently around some of the stops en route for anyone tubing / training it from King's Cross.

By all accounts, the options around the ground seem limited and the two pubs that apparently are away friendly look like they'd struggle to accommodate nearly 6,000 thirsty Town fans. Genuinely, I think the best bet for fans coming by train is to stop off on the way in central London.

As has been mentioned, there are some great spots around London Bridge where you'll need to catch the train to Thornton Heath. There's the Barrowboy & Banker (https://bit.ly/2LKO0zS), The George (https://bit.ly/2F1y0cl) and Katzenjammers (https://bit.ly/2LQICvm) - a fantastic, easy to miss little German pub and genuinely one of my favourite spots in the country - the beer is out of this world! Well worth stopping off for a swift one if you get chance, though I'm not going to lie - this is a fashionable part of central London and you won't be getting much change back out of £6 a pint.

With that in mind, given this is already an expensive day / weekend away for everyone at the most skintening time of year, one thought I had was the Crosse Keys (https://bit.ly/2BTsQuY). This is a massive 'spoons pub about a 3-4 minute walk from Bank tube station (the last stop before you get to London Bridge). Here you'll pay between £3.00 - £4.50 depending on what you're drinking so pretty reasonable for this part of the world, plus it's a big ol' place should an army of Mariners descend upon it.

There's also the Counting House, a grand looking Fuller's pub a few doors down if you fancy a change of scenery (https://bit.ly/2F8faQb). Still fairly reasonably priced from memory.

Just a few thoughts anyway - would be good to get somewhere collectively agreed and locked down. Some of my best experiences as a Town fan have been in the pubs before big away games / and Wembley finals. Holed up in some random, unassuming pub hundreds of miles from home with a thousand or so of your bretheren, absolutely taking the roof off the place - magic!
