PutneyFox

Loved that pub. I used to drink in there late 80s, early 90s, as I lived on Danvers Road at the time. Great gaffer called Fred used to run it. Sunday lock-ins between 3pm & 7pm & his missus would make sarnies for a "private party " 😄 & no money paid behind the till until reopened at 7pm. Great times. The upstairs part used to be the pool room. Had a couple of tables up there.

There is a very small boozer when you come out of Putney Bridge Tube Station called the 8 Bells.On the same side of the river but other side of the bridge you have the Dukes Head & Half Moon pubs. Large with gardens but no Sky if you want to watch early footy. Half Moon is an iconic music venue in London. You can actually see Craven Cottage from The Dukes Head on the other side of the river. East Putney there is the East Putney Tavern opposite tube station & The Prince of Wales a bit further down towards the High Street.. No Sky there either. If you turn left out of East Putney there are a number of cafe/restaurant places until you get to the main crossroads (100 yards or so) of Putney High Street & there are 2 large pubs on each corner. the railway, 3 storey with huge room garden & my local of 15 years, The Fox & Hounds. Both have Sky & my boozer has around 16 screens there, inside & in the garden. On the High Street itself is the Spotted Horse, has a roof garden no Sky & further down as you walk towards Putney Bridge itself there are 2 bars down Lacy Road called The Coat & Badge & Jolly Gardeners. Both have gardens. If you did decide to come to Putney for a beer your best bet would be to take the Victoria Line from St Pancras to Vauxhall & Train into Putney Station (my usual route to & from Leicester) located at the top of the High Street. there you have the option to cross over the road to The railway or The Fox & Hounds or turn right & walk down the High Street towards Putney Bridge itself. Walking to the ground would take around 20-30 minutes, depending on where you park up in Putney for a beer, through Bishops Park on the Fulham end of Putney Bridge. Bar the Railway, The Fox & Hounds is cheapest for beer, between £4 & £5 a pint depending on your tipple. Morettis etc a tad more & if you do want to watch some early footy The Fox is the best place I reckons due to the number of screens available. Railway & Coat & Badge also have Sky. There are a couple of boozers literally on the Fulham side of Putney Bridge like The Temperance & The Kings Arms, 5 mins walk from Putney Bridge Tube Station, & more boozers further into Fulham but I dont really venture over there but some places like The Golden Lion, on a match day will be for home supporters only with match/season tickets.

There is a big Wetherspoons called The Rocket right on Putney Bridge by the river & some 50 yards from that a boozer called the Boathouse (not a Wetherspoons though). If the sun is out its a fine place to park up & sit outside (large outside area for sitting/standing leading to the river) with a few cold ones before 20 or so minute walk to The Cottage.

Good point. That does still happen TBH from what ive been told. In fact I know of some away fans (who drank in my Putney local) who have bought a ticket in the "Fulham end" & just walk along the concourse/stand to where the away fans sit & just stand up at the back without any real hassle, if any at all. & if any empty seats just take it.

I am pretty sure my Fulham supporting pals have said the "neutral" end was done away with in terms of seating when the new stand began construction to fit in more home fans. I think it is now divided in terms of home/away seating but the concourse itself is still mixed fans.

😂😂 ticket gone anyway bud.

TICKET NOW GONE. Alas work have roped me into the office tomorrow afternoon so unable to go to game so I have my 1 adult ticket available in Upper Stand Block Y6 at face value. I do live in SW London so may suit a London Fox?
