speedbump Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 That's Arsenal territory!!! Trafalgar Sq is generally the 'take over spot' for visiting fans I thought. I even saw the French take it over once during France 98, and they weren't even playing over here! I remember one bloke being really pissed off about it and shouting "Remember Agincourt!" For kilted idiots. Packing your kilt? As a lowlander you'll never see me in a kilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 There are much better areas to have a few (or more) pre match pints than either Trafalgar Square or Leicester Square which are both heavily populated by tourists but for those who are thinking of doing that the latter is virtually closed at the moment due to it being renovated for the Olympics.

J Cheever Loophole Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Why is it a hassle? Two minute walk down Villiers St - Circle line from Embankment to Liverpool St - overground 22 mins to WHL. You are an embarassment to all those famous Scottish explorers that went before you (but whose names I can't remember). ;-) I was part of the rather large Scottish Expedition that shut down your underground and got passed the Wembley ticket allocation,70,000 strong,Alf.

It's exactly what happens on every away Euro tie. Braga, Bordeaux, and Prague most recently spring to mind! Just what I was thinking. No idea why people are so concerned it's going to turn into some sort of "jock-fest" when that's never happened before. A few thousand Hearts fans in London? We'll be singing Hearts songs most likely. A meeting place will probably evolve naturally as it did in Zagreb and even last summer when we were down in the other capital for the Millwall game. Trafalgar Square will presumably be mobbed with tourists in the height of summer so we'd be better finding a collection of boozers near to whatever trainline will get us to WHL.

amadjambo Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'm a grown man who will proudly be wearing his Hearts shirt. I've been on 17 away Euro trips and NEVER see more than a handful of guys with kilts on so these kilt wearers must have been only on those trips I couldn't make! If we are lucky enough to get a lovely sunny day then inside a boozer is the last place I want to be. Having an ice cold beer outside in the sunshine it will be for me.
