Where To Drink
The pubs near the ground can be quite partisan, so I
would recommend getting a drink somewhere on the journey there.
Gordon a visiting Newcastle fan adds 'there are quite a few pubs on
the Kings Road that are okay as long as you
don't break into a chorus about your team!'.
Ross
Mooring adds; The best (well, least
partisan) pub for away fans is the Slug and
Lettuce outside Fulham Broadway train station situated a few minutes
walk from the ground. It's an upmarket
pub with a good security and police presence outside on
matchdays. Very full but rarely any
trouble. Away fans though should avoid the
Sofa Bar. Alcohol (Budweiser) is available inside the ground but it is a bit
pricey, even for
Londoners!'.
About
a 15 minute walk away from the ground near Parsons Green Tube
Station is the White Horse. A large comfortable pub which sells good
food and a range of real ales including Harveys Ales from Sussex. To
find this pub with the new West Stand behind you turn right (up past
where the away coaches are parked) up Fulham Road and into Fulham
Broadway, passing the tube station on your right. Continue to follow
Fulham Road around to the left and then take a left hand turn into
Parsons Green Road. Go under the bridge passing Parsons Tube Station
on your right and you will reach the White Horse pub on your
left.
Trevor Simpson a visiting
Ipswich Town fan adds; 'I have
to say, we were very impressed with the White Horse. It is a large
roomy place with a good atmosphere and is far enough from the ground
not to be over-run by fans. It is still a comfortable
walk to the stadium, less than 15 minutes. It is also so easy
to get to the pub in the first place, simply get off the tube
at Parsons Green and it is about 100 yards away. The food is a
bit pricy; on a match-day the only sandwich is a BLT for
£5.50. They also have a barbecue going (even in January) and
it is £6 for a burger and £5 for a sausage baguette. I
had a baguette and it was fine. The biggest plus is the
choice of beers, if you are a real ale fan then this pub is a
gem'. Alcohol is available
inside the stadium, however for certain fixtures the Club opt not to
sell any to away supporters, so don't bank on
it!
