Wembley Warm Up

[waggamick]

Training it in from Sandhurst with the wife's brother-in-law.

What pub do you blokes meet in before the game?

How early?

[Harry J Allstars]

The Globe at Baker Street. About 11:00.

[waggamick]

Baker Street..where?

[Harry J Allstars]

Err Baker Street, Baker Street.

 

Read a tube map, or a Sherlock Holmes novel.

[PatMan]

All well and good, but isn't The Globe actually on Marylebone Road?

[Harry J Allstars]

Indeed it is but as soon as you come out of Baker Street Tube station, just two stops from Wembley Park on the Metropolitan line, then you'll see the Globe.

[waggamick]

Elementary Allstars!

I know Baker Street Tube Station but there are 6 Globe Hotels in London and none of them, according to View London-London Pubs and Bars, are on Baker Street.

Don't tell me its 21B.

[Harry J Allstars]

[waggamick]

43-47 Marylebone Road

One review:

I went to The Globe during mid Sunday afternoon, the beer was cold and good quality, served by friendly Australian barman with an unusual Mohawk hairstyle. The homemade pie was a supreme meal, if somewhat pricey. The Globe's a nice place.

 

Friendly Australian eh?

Football, Wembley, Beer, Homemade Pies....Valhalla?

 

So how do you get to the game...back onto the Tube to Wembley Central?

The Globe is where the red circle is.

 

As you come out of Baker Street you will see the picture above, it literally is across the road.

 

Getting to Wembley from here.

 

Go to Wembley Park, not Wembley Central. Wembley Central is a bit of a walk but is well sign posted. However if you go to Wembley Central then you won't get the enjoyment of Walking down Wembley "Olympic" Way.

 

Wembley Park is on the Metropolitan Line. Both Baker Street and Wembley Park are on the Jubilee Line but has a lot more stops.

[waggamick]

Looking forward to it!

Thanks

I was hoping for a decent real ale pub on top one of the tube stations on the line to Wembley Park. The Globe is certainly on top of Baker Street, but looks a bit boring for us beery people: Courage Best & Directors & Theakston's Old Peculiar, not that this will bother Harry, who is capable of drinking John Smith's. The Metropolitan across the road is in the Good Beer Guide - but it is a Wetherspoon's, which is not everyone's cup of tea, so to speak.

 

Perhaps we could all end up in one of these, or move between the two, depending on how (over)crowded they are?

 

Cheers

You'll have to get there early as Torquay fans are also planning to stop off at the Globe en route to the Arch! As you can see from the photo, one of our guys (in a yellow top) is already there!

 

For thoughts on other pubs, see our thread here:

Beers on tap is a serious consideration.

[UP FLEET]

Harry , when we went to wembley( you know the other month) lol we went in the greyhound at wembley central that was also a very good pub, big, frindly and a big standing area outside too, that globe looks good though

 

 

 

[Trumpet]

A Few of us "young-uns" are meeting at gravesend train station. for about 10ish and playing by ear. i have something else to celebrate on top of the obvious (fleet winning the FA trophy) my Birthday, so i plan for a long day and a VERY late night, no matter the out come, i will have something to celebrate.

 

there is already a group on facebook - i will post the link later on today!

[wobbly Wayne II]

kings Head - Borough High St - 9am

 

The ITK football fans pub of choice.

 

 

 

 

[UP FLEET]

Yep we will deff be going for the gray hound at least one full coach load, so the more the better its a 5 min walk from wembley central

If you have a look at the Torquay board, HERE it looks like they are planning to hit The Globe as well!

Be wide lads, get there early - cover the place in Red n White!
