INFLATABLES (Tickertape) For Tottenham !

[bob fleming]

Bloody 100's of Roar masks though.

Damn you BobF - better have mine on Saturday

Nope, not me I'm pleased to announce - I've not been near Roverthemoon today. I don't think the idea of going in Roar masks is a very good one though.

Kayos - you have a look of Roar anyway - don't think you need a mask, save your money.

Inflatables it is then - elephants, trons, anything I suppose.

I'm going on the train from Preston and by the sounds of things will be getting a taxi back to Blackburn when the return train terminates at Watford. Should be a quiet do.

[Flopsy]

I have an inflatable referee

that should be fun

got to wait till tomorrow to get my ticket

Knew I'd seen that geezer somewhere before.

Not with you there it won't

Back to Steb though - how come they are advertising Beachballs and there are none on sale - mis appropiate selling I call it, where are them trading standards when you need them.

Anyway, song for you all to learn and get in to fine voice fettler for the day

' We are Rovers

Super Rovers

We are Rovers... from the Beach'

They may have them, if you ask for them.

There have been some great suggestions for the spurs match in this thread.

scotty we arrive 1211 at eston from picadilly.

where are you considering whetting your gullet ? or are you considering an alcohol free day based on the fat that you fell asleep on your last outing ?

pm me and we can meet up.

can anyone suggest a decent pub we can turn into real Blue and White colours pre match ??

I've always struggled to find a pub at spurs that allows away colours, although many people have mentioned a wetherspoons, I've never been able to find it.

Tris ? Jimbo ? Any other local ? Any better suggestions ?

[Ossydave]

There were definitely beach balls in there last Friday as one of my loopy mates bought some for Everton. There's a basket at the front and it's also got lilo's and armbands in

Last year we ended up in the weatherspoons. Its a 10-15 minute walk from the ground though, but it was the first pub we came to that let away fans in.

Gilpens Bell - about 5 minutes up Edmonton Road - You will be with JPW, and he has been in there before

I did get confused when walking around picking up the bargains and then finding after about 30 minutes shopping that they didnt take credit cards/switch

[The1mattjansen]

About the trains, thetrainline.com is showing:

Preston - Seven sisters 09:20 - 13:31

Seven sisters - Preston 18:03 - 22:30

Is that right or just subject to change, cos it seems the best for everyone really, from Preston anyway!

Also, how is everyone planning on getting from Euston to White hart lane, Its quite a walk isnt it, 7 miles!!!???

From previous experience the pub scene near the ground is crap, and not helped by the fact that the tubes/trains are miles away as well.

I was thinking it may be an idea to think a bit more laterally and meet up early doors somewhere like Camden or Islington, then people can decide whether to struggle to WHL on public transport or we order cabs about half 2 - from Camden it'd be about £8 per cab so £2 each.

Just a thought for now ...

Last year we went to the 'Red Bull/Lion' or something with a name like that. It is very small but has a brothel upstairs, and only lets away fans in.

Hope to be in London 11.30ish

You're thinking of the "Red Light District" I think...

Ha Ha

If memory serves me right, it wasa on the main road between Seven Sisters tibe station and White Hart Lane.

It was only a couple of minutes from the ground.

Those going by train who havent been to spurs, dont expect to catch a tube instantly. The tube station is about a 30 minute walk after the match and then the tube station is very busy. I would estimate to get back into central London for about 18.30ish.

Strange, I've used both in there before.

If memory serves me - and in this case it certainly does - this is the most vile public house that I've ever set foot in.

Quite apart from the fact that we had to argue with the bouncer to let us in - I took a couple of mates along last season and he didn't want to let them in cos they weren't wearing Rovers tops ...

Once we were in there I wish we'd stayed outside. The beer was minging, the walls were peeling, it smelt, it was outrageously expensive, the coke was served warm out of 12p Aldi own brand 2 litre bottles and sold for two quid, the glasses were dirty and the staff were rude.

Personally, I ain't going near the dump again !

[broadsword]

Jordan, it really does sound like you need some lessons in beering it!

Not only do you allegedly get smashed on Carling (I never thought it possible anyone could do that), but it seems you're happy quaffing bubblegum diet beer in any old roughhouse.

You didn't take your dolly in there as well, did you?

Worrying.

Wholeheartidly agree. Makes the Springbok at QPR look like the Ritz.

Apart from that dive I've only been to a nice little back street pub (more like someones's front room) which serves Belgian beer and has a decent beer garden. Only been there with my Spurs supporting mate though and I think a couple hundred Rovers fans wouldn't really be welcome.

As Tris said, Highbury & Islington is only 1 stop down on the tube so may be well worth going somewhere there first, Upper St is pretty good. Assuming there won't be bouncers on doors etc at that time.

Typical when you're on a mission of supreme importance!

[damo gally]

Endless inflatable possibilties HERE

[Hughesy]

Simple question - is anybody actually going to go ahead with this??? if we are then we need to let every1 know so we can get the whole away end involved

YES!!

Shhh everyone dont tell Hughesy were not going to really go ahead with, he will look so stupid when he turns up with all his inflatables and no one else does!

It's cool - I've called the ticket office and ordered them to send out instructions with all tickets they've not mailed out and they've given me the phone numbers of the people who've already received tickets and I'm half way through ringing round- there's only 1,267 left to do.

And I've had a word with Spurs and they've instructed their stewards not to let anyone into the away end unless they have an inflatable item about their persona.

I'm miles ahead of you mate.
