Saw this on a fans forum web page....
“Unlike with many grounds, Selhurst manages to keep both home and away fans together, without causing an absolute riot. The Flora Sandles (Wetherspoons) and the Railway Telegraph are fairly-priced, cosy pubs by Thornton Heath railway station, while next to Norwood Junction there’s another Spoons – The William Stanley – which accommodates all fans on a match day. They’re all pretty close to the venue (walking) and offer good atmosphere!”.
Not sure how up to date this is though.

intercourse Sky Sports! (other sports broadcasters available to get copulated too) Why do you think people are having to watch a game late on a Saturday and book overnight accommodation?

If you want SkySports, stay in your hotel room. If you want a good pub, then there are loads of good places around London Bridge, Borough Market, Bermondsey Street, Maltby Street Market (independent brewers, loads of food stalls). I don't know much about pubs around Selhurst, but after nipping into London Bridge from Surrey, I'm meeting a Palace supporting mate from work and going to his WMC in the area.

I haven't and will never pay for any sports channels, 100% not. Just looking for something pre match to entertain a 10 year old

Managed to take him to Lincoln at home (in the pontoon) he loved it so I'm confident the atmosphere will make him enjoy his day.. I'm just aiming to leave early so we get a whole day of football away from women

Alfie is correct - around London Bridge you have the classic The George (17th century pub in courtyard) , Wheatshead, Market Porter, Southwark Tavern.
All a very good pubs.
I remember seeing a load of Villa fans in all of those pubs on the last sunday of last season getting right on it at 9am before a game at Millwall.

It's about 15 minutes on the bus from the ground, but The Conquering Hero has both of these and is a decent boozer. It's a bit of a palace pub but it's sound, does great burgers, and has a big beer garden that includes a pig called Francis Bacon.

Just an update for you HERTS. The William Stanley is now been closed and rebranded and doesn’t allow in away fans, the Flora Sands is now a pure gym. The nearest spoons is the George, but the railway Telegraph might be the best bet but wether it allows in away fans I don’t know.

It’s not. They allow away fans in some games. They are due to make their decision on Wednesday. I’ll post on here what that decision is.

Ahh it was you that mentioned 'Railway Tavern' and 'away fans' in the 4168 to Palace thread. Thought I'd taken it from cpfc forum. Cheers for clarifying.

One useful trick is to use Google Maps.
Type "pubs selhurst"
All the pubs are highlighted - if you move/zoom in click the "Search this Area" button that appears at the top of the screen,
Et voila! C;est facile!

Could do with clarification on this. Hoping for a hassle free day but meeting mates from all over so want a few drinks near the ground. Do we have an SLO for things like this?

I think with 5000+ Town fans it would be nice to have some official clarity from somewhere to say a pub / pubs have been allocated as town pubs which are close to the ground

Speaking to the met police and the Palace DFO tomorrow, I will say they are struggling to find a pub that will accept us near the ground but it'll be sorted will just depend how close to the ground you want to be when you start drinking.

The Wembley situation was ideal but fortunately it was decent weather and we all could outside for a sing song
A pub within what 10/15 minutes walking distance to the ground would be ideal
But with 5000+ town fans I'm sure we will be spread all over the capital gradually making our way closer to the ground nearer match time
I think in general we just want clarification that a designated pub is available and a meeting place for many of us

How is it you still work your bottom off and give the fans more support than who should be helping us In these situations? Obviously Palace being a prem club they're not arsed about a few pint sales. Exeter opened up an extra marquee when they had a big away following travel to them... Surely being a prem club they should have these kind of facilities inside the ground?

I've seen some YouTube footage of fans in the concourse behind the away stand at Palace and it looks quite out dated and just like a lot we've been to in LG2
Anyone else wish it was Saturday already?!?!??!
Cant wait for the buzz of hearing and seeing Town fans singing and drinking around London

Adie works incredibly hard at the club in a number of different roles - they do serve alocohol but some prefer to drink elsewhere 1st.

I was included in an email thread yesterday from the Met with an offer to have a chat - felt it was either take them up on it or they'd be nothing else. Doesn't really answer your question but I wasn't included in the discussion as an SLO

Your treatment by the club has been shameful thank you for your continued efforts, the club is more than foolish to let someone of you class and dignity leave a post in which you showed so much value. Some at the club must be hanging their heads in shame

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.

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!

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

I work around there and it is pretty deserted at weekends - I think you'll be the only people in those pubs on a saturday that is for sure. The reality is that cheap beer and London (especially non-Spoons pubs) are very rare. Good call on KatzenJammers - I'm always terrified of their ginormous glasses of booze (I'm more of a poncy wine drinker) so a Litre glass looks pretty hardcore!

Palace fan in peace! Please be gentle.
Apologies if already mentioned, but there are a few options in Croydon town centre also (which is a short train ride away from Norwood Junction from East Croydon station) including “Box Park” right next to the station. This has various food/beer options. As others have mentioned there isn’t a great selection of pubs for away fans near the ground unfortunately.

Most pubs are already mentioned in the thread but as I said I would:
The Railway at Tuleshill station is welcoming away fans - direct train from London Bridge and to stations nearest Selhurst Park
As already mentioned The Railway at Thornton Heath welcome over 25's, children are ok with adults. Strict ID if you're lucky enough to look under 25.
Prince George again already mentioned will take away fans - over 21's, will ID and will check match tickets
No restrictions around London Bridge and Victoria

The Railway at Tulse Hill is a decent boozer, but not really anywhere near the ground. You'd have to get off the train specifically to go there, then get back on, and there's nothing else nearby except traffic.

I’ve just been sent an alleged statement from Palace saying Town won’t be allowed in local pubs but Fanzone (such we are) opens at 3:30. Strongly suspect a ‘spoof’ and certainly hoping so.
Any ‘Genuine info ‘appreciated.

Fanzone only holds 500 & frankly sounds horrendous-avoid I think. London Bridge is the best option as above. States here that away fans wont be allowed in local pubs: https://www.grimsby-townfc.co......y-town-on-05-jan-19/However Palace1 stated that the Telegraph is open to away fans-maybe not classed as "local"?

Sampling the delights of the railway telegraph and the Indian across the road, tajmahal. Would recommend-cleethorpes prices!! Wall to wall sports screens in here. Just asked at bar, town fans welcome before the game but strictly over 25s only and not allowed after game.

We're going to stop at Frankie and Bennies on route so aiming to be in the telegraph for around 3pm providing the tweet they sent out was accurate about children being allowed in. I can only assume these messages are to stop any 'youth' going into any pubs. Sensible dare I say.
