For anybody driving down. Parking can be a pain in the arse around the ground, more so since the wonderful Westfield shopping centre opened (sarcasm is so difficult to portray don't you think?). However you may like to take advantage of the place. It may mean a monthly newsletter from the dump in your intray, but by signing up for it you get free parking until the end of October. The parking there to attend the match, have a beer etc. would normally cost £16. Quick bus ride from there up to Leyton.

Coming along for this one, with my brother-in-law in tow (because he hates Orient). I see London Blades are suggesting The William IV in Walthamstow for a meet up, but I think I'll probably have to do a stop either at liverpool st or Stratford (SEB's manor) to meet up with the in-law which is the other direction from William IV. Anyone drinking at/ got suggestions for a boozer on the Stratford side of Brisbane road?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Eddies (King Edward) on the Broadway in Stratford is probably as good as any. I've had Landlord, Deuchars and Summer Lightning in there, also have a few guest ales as well. Ye Olde Bull is OK but nowt special, of interest because Bobby Moore owned it briefly before it mysteriously caught fire!

We went in the Coach & Horses on our last two visits.

Will be making the decision as soon as I decide whether to brave parking near(ish) the ground or parking and tubing it in.

Will see you for a beer before-hand.

Cheers. I'll probably be stuck in a Spoons somewhere as usual

What happened?

7 minutes and 40 seconds extra time? Where did that come from

A long spell for Williamson to get treatment in the incident taht led to the sending off. That led to 5 mins injury time, then Montgomery and MacDonald did some unnecessary rolling around after they were fouled in injury time in order to waste more time. We ended up being hoist by our own petard.
