More I think about it, the more it should be Trafalgar Square. Thats traditionally where fans go and where it would have been last time. Both will have our lot in and see how it goes. Woke up this morning and can feel the anticipation kicking in a bit now for a weekend away with me mates and thousands of like minded SAFC fans. Haway the lads!!!!
 
Getting there mid-afternoon with the old man, couple of pints in W.London with a mate who lives down there and then will head towards the action, wherever that may be.

Last time started off in the Lamb and Flag and then just moved on from there around Covent Garden, ended up in a swanky looking Wetherspoons near Holborn and then on the tube singing 'Oh Vito Manone' as a beautiful solo.

I wouldn't call the spoons at Holborn swanky :lol:
Last time we started at Bayswster in a pub full of Leeds OAP hoolies who'd just come from QPR, off up to Lancaster gate to suss out our 10 am Sunday pub, sorted, tube to Holborn, Prince of Wales up the alley, Spoons, then a few other bars on the road down to CG, blagged some cans from a few lads we knew, pub on way to Leicester Square, casino for a couple, another pub on way to Tottenham Court Road tube, back to The Swan at Lancaster gate & then some dubious drinking dive in Bayswater, which the landlord of the Swan informed us the next day was an Albanian Drugs Den? Sunday morning, Albanian offy at 9am for cans, sat drinking on the benches outside the Swan till the landlord tipped up, off to Wembley then back to the Swan teaching Copenhagen fans how to sing Shearer is a wanker , pub was rammed full of SAFC singing all night & some poor bloke was on as the turn with his guitar :lol:, met a couple of mad yanks over for the final, canny lads. Wish could do it all again but I can't make it, brothers got my ticket sure he'll have a canny time!

I've just been round Trafalgar Square sussing out pubs/grub/shops and, I have to say, it's much better than Covent Garden for this kind of thing.

I've even found the best place for my Welsh dragon flag, on the Charles the 1st statue, and will be there from around 6pm.

Can't wait tbh :cool:

You out on the Sat Reiver? Dad is only coming up on the Sunday but I am staying at a friends. Where did you find?

Whenever I go out with work around Covent Garden we end up at Tiger Tiger which is shocking so happy to miss that
