Did a pub ever get sorted? I moved to Chiswick last year (near Gunnersbury station about 5 mins from Connolly's) and would be interesting in meeting fellow wires in London for matches. If I'm not mistaken, 18th Feb seems to be the first Sky match, is there any plan to meet up for that?

Brendan at Connollys is more than happy to host a Supporters Club. It has 5 screens and 2 sky boxes. As long as it isn't a big 6 nations or football game should be fine. it's 5 mins from Gunbersbury Overground/ tube & 2 mins from Chiswick Park tube. N9 night bus serves it too.

We could do with a decent amount of us turning up and maybe discussing ideas for a supporters club, i live in Barnet so it's a trek but i'm well up for it, we could even organise the odd trip for home games, car share/mini bus.

Well I for one am up for it. This Friday is Saints v Salford (not a classic) but we could meet up then and try to organise things. I would suggest if we are thinking of making Connelly's our home we meet up there. If that's not good for everyone, I work in central London though so pretty much anywhere is good for me. I'm new to this forum thing but Yed seems to be a organiser sort of person, are you happy to try and organise us rabble? Is there someway I can message you my details without posting them as I am happy to help?

Yes there's a PM function, find one of my posts and underneath you see this button



click on that and you can send me a personal message.

There is a mini bus going up to the Wire game from Staines next Sunday for the Broncos game (and one from the east I believe)

£15-20 up and down in the day

PM if interested

Right lads, after an absence I'm back!

First things first, the pub - we've already had Chiswick mentioned and I know 2 that might be good near Waterloo (the Wellington and the Stage Door). Across those who're in, what's easier, Waterloo or Chiswick? I'm on the Jubilee line but I'm told getting to Chiswick's not too bad. If everyone who's interested can reply, we'll get an idea of where's got most mileage then bag the pub.

Once that's done we'll look into sorting regular meets, even if it's to watch non-Wire games it'd be good to get some RL in with a friendly crowd. Then we can look ahead, getting some games in at Broncos!

With a bit of planning we can bring some real rugby to the capital!

I might come down as well... But only if the following list of demands can be met.

1. Jellied eels
2. A jukebox featuring chaz n daves greatest hits.
3. excessive cockney rhyming slang related banter.
4. a landlord that calls everyone 'geeeeeza' and a blonde busty barmaid that calls everyone 'daaaaarlin'

If they show RL in the Queen Vic then I'll take you to the Eastenders set myself.

you missed out Danny Dyer giving it "its proper naughty" "some right top lads in this boozer"

Good shout...add that one to the list as well.

I'm in and I'll obviously vote for Chiswick!

It was myself and Yed that went to Connolly's and it seems like with (was it Wolverhampton Wire?) we have some contacts with the landlord which always helps.

I'm attending the 1st Sky game so won't be available for selection for that but also definitely on for some Broncos games.

Bumped.

I'm not around for the next 2 weekends, but after that we need to start getting some head together and sorting this out or the season will slip us by!

As much as i'd enjoy organising, my shift pattern is so erratic it makes it really difficult, working v Hudds, trying to sort something out just to try and get to watch the game.

I'm in

I live by Whitechapel, work at London Bridge - so Waterloo or anywhere centrals good for me, but I don't mind travelling further.

I'll keep my eye out for when the first one will be!
