Soccer Saturday challenge 02:06 - Jan 10 with 13676 views | The_Romford_Blue | Anyone done it? 8 of us doing it saturday. Meet up in Romford, train to London for the 12 o clock game then a night out wherever the first goal goes in of the 3pm games. Stipulations we’ve added: 1) No London teams. Just because it’ll be too similar to normal. 2) No Luton. Because it’s Luton. 3) FA Cup, League 1 and League 2 games only. Personally hoping for one of Nottingham, Blackpool or Barnsley. Shame Newcastle aren’t playing as that would clearly be number 1 in my list of preferences |  |

that'd be so funny if he ends up there. Unless he fancies the Metrodome |  | |  |

Oh my word !!! Went to a football presentation night there last season for the umpteenth time Barnsley is a continent in itself with some very diverse and interesting occupants who actually make them up the road look relatively normal |  |

Soccer Saturday challenge on 09:16 - Jan 10 with 7499 views | Devereuxxx | Did this a few years ago, we met up in central London at a friends flat and gathered round Soccer Saturday to see where we'd be going. First goal of the day was Lincoln. Within 5 minutes we had trains and accommodation booked and by 15h50 we were on our way to Lincoln. Which was a very good night out. Funnily enough Blackpool was top of my preferences as well. We had similar rules, the place had to be outside the M25 and we put a cap of £125 on the return train ticket (which at the time only ruled out Newcastle and Carlisle I think). Everything else was fair game. |  | |  |

Carlisle would be a trek. Norwich! Sunderland is near enough to Newcastle Rommy! Blackpool might be fun. |  |

If we’re being honest, asides from Luton which we’ve ruled out completely, the worst outcome would be Barrow. Suspect the train will be astronomical too |  |

Was thinking this - some train tickets in 2025 would bankrupt people! |  | |  |

The “scenes” would be far better in Nottingham on a night out with the boys |  |

It should be a decent laugh tbf. Anyone know the best sports bar near Euston area for the early game. Preferably one with a pool table. O’Neills current fav albeit that’s nearer King’s Cross |  |

I think the only pool table around there will be in Skinners (road behind O'Neils). Somerstown Coffee House (its a pub) is a short walk to Euston and quieter. Then you've got the Rocket on Euston Road. Think there is still an irish pub by the Standard Hotel - maybe called the Dolphin or similar, only small but has a dartboard and a dodgy footie stream |  | |  |

The Cock Tavern - Celtic pub, cash only, proper boozer that. Will have the fire going too. [Post edited 10 Jan 13:43]

It was poetic we’d then have the George Hirst promotion party at Barnsley a few years later. |  |
