| Could have done with this a few years ago. In almost twenty years of living in London, I succeeded in getting a Wires match put on a pub telly the grand total of two times. Once was an inconsequential Sat eve match away at Cas, and the other was the Regal Trophy final when Wigan battered us at Huddersfield.

| Quote: ChiswickWire "Yes there is on street parking nearby - you'd be parking in a residential area so it would be OK. (If we go ahead I'll give you more detailed instructions!)
So is everyone up for this?
This is the place I'm thinking of:
The only problem with that is, Chiswick's bloomin miles away. I'm based in Elephant and I imagine there are others who're closer in, so somewhere more central might be an idea.
(Also anywhere that does real ale would be a bonus, I can't be drinking larger all night. Well I could but I'd prefer not to!)

| Elephant to Chiswick isn't that far, in London you need to get used to travelling a bit.
Get the underground to Waterloo and a 15 minute train ride Chiswick, piece of p*ss

Is it? From taking a look, Chiswick looked a bit more of a trek than that. Well you're the one who's been here longer so I'll take your word on it.

Sounds like my kinda place. You're a font of knowledge on this sort of stuff, amazing there's not been a London cabal earlier! Obviously I won't be coming to any meeting this Friday, as I'll actually be at the game, but after that (excluding the GF if we make it) I'll be along.

It's more like 25 minutes to Chiswick mainline from Wloo and then it's either a 10 minute walk to the High Road or just catch the E3 bus - so a 2 minute bus ride.
I live near the mainline station so I can direct you easily from there.
The other travel option for Chiswick is Gunnersbury station on the London Overground line - it is a couple of minutes walk to the pub from there for those heading in from East / North London.
I haven't contacted the pub yet but will do so tomorrow and post on here but if they will put it on - how many are in for Wires Round London in Chiswick? Horatio - I'm game if you are if it's just you and I!
My only reservation about Central London pubs is that often they don't have the TV on at weekends or the places are packed so isn't really convivial for match watching. There is a good pub behind Goodge St. tube that was popular with Leaguies called the Hope. If someone wants to check whether they will put it on (with sound) then I'm happy to head there if that's better for everyone else.
Oh and on the lager point. I don't drink lager either so don't worry the Pride is good around Chiswick as it's a stones throw to the brewery.

| Gentlemen (and lady I think) sounds like we've got a plan. Now just to keep this thread handy till next season when I'm sure all our points of reference will be out of date. ALTHOUGH how many of you are likely to be going to the 4N's at Wembley? Actually that proabably deserves it's own thread closer to the time.

| Hope this club is not exclusive to living 'Cockneys'. My son lives in Willesden Green, and if a weekend visit coincides with a match, it would be great to join in!
