| good to see this happening again. i still have a flat in london, but am in jersey at the moment, so not around very often. i was at the orange tree in richmond for the bradford game, as mentioned by charlie.
i used to live in the oval, and the hanover arms just up from oval station was always too happy to put wire games on for me, just because me and my flatmate used to drink more beer watching them than the entire pub. if you drink, they will put anything you want on, and the land lord and land lady are big sports fans of any description so only to happy to have stuff on.
im a bit late to the party, i know, but its worth thinking about, especially for the south londoners amongst you.
and don't be put off by the outside, or the beer in the evening reviews of the hanover. absolutely nothing wrong with it, and the guinness is as good as any in london

| I'm seriously considering starting a London supporters group, I'm going to look in to it, and try any avenues to getting started, may have to extend out to the whole rugby family (we are not football). Get a pub on board, getting a little package<s> together, and have all the RL fans of London in ONE pub Hmmm i'm liking the idea of this.

I didn't come in till post game but Connolly's is my local. I came in with a munster shirt on. Brendan the gaffer is keen on League and Sean Edwards uses it as his local too.

This sounds like a cracking idea. I imagine there'd be plenty of people keen to get on board, especially on the Quins board. If you need a hand give me a bell and I'm happy to help out.
On the Hanover Arms, it's not a bad boozer, my brother used to live 2 minutes away, you've probably had a pint with him more than once, he was a regular.

This is good to know - we could have done with Brendan a bit earlier in the evening as we tried to get the 2 Eastern European barmaids to put the RL on.
Anyway - we got it switched on at the start of the attack that lead to Riley's try. So all was good.
I thought it was a reasonable bet as I remembered watching the GF a few years back in there when Leeds beat Saints and Lee Smith had a stormer.
From a selfish perspective I obvously think we should choose that as the venue!!
HY - you know how to get hold of me so let me know if you want any help with this.

| Right gents, what's the plan, Chiswick again or elsewhere? Somewhere came to my mind, the Wellington, directly opposite Waterloo. I know it shows RL because I saw the bore fest that was Saint-Giants in there a few weeks ago. Granted not the worlds best boozer but perfectly servicable. Any road, I'll be about looking to watch the match so whatever the consensus I'm game!

simpsons/PDT9.gif IF I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home.

I'm based down in Hounslow. Managed to get the exiles game on in the local boozer near the barracks (Hungry Horse), only drama is Hounslow is a hole and quite a way out of central London.

| Right, since no one's letting me know I'll be in the Wellington Pub, it's opposite Waterloo station (Old Vic exit). I've not confirmed that they'll be showing it for sure but they generally show RL and if a few of us turn up (and you'd better) we should get it on. TURN UP YOU LOT I DON'T WANT TO BE ON MY OWN!

Or just ring them and see if they will show it. Or is that just me being too practical?
