TJH Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Hi, Norwich fan here. Making the trip at the weekend and just wondered what public house is usually used by away fans at the Walkers? Many thanks....great site by the way. Cheers.
Darkzzz_ Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Hello mate As for the pubs info you are best off asking the ones who are using them, I was just wandering how confident you are for saturday?? We have been poor of late and the game at your place was a bit tasty wasnt it??
TJH Posted 14 February 2008 Author Posted 14 February 2008 Hello mateAs for the pubs info you are best off asking the ones who are using them, I was just wandering how confident you are for saturday?? We have been poor of late and the game at your place was a bit tasty wasnt it?? To be fair, we should have won at our place and had numerous chances but your keeper was on top form. Mixed thoughts about the weekend...you boys are due a big performance and the pessimist in me says that our away run has got to end soon (4 wins and 2 draws from last 6). Could well be a draw though...

Could well be a draw though... Yes i agree you should have won it at your place. I would like to think we are due a big perfromance but i will say that i am not very confident as you boys always beat us at our place, or so it seems... We need this win and i am expecting a massive performance to be honest... but like i said, not very confident!! Good Luck...
DB11 Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 You could try asking fellow away fans cos I'm not sure many of LCFC fans will drink in pubs for away fans
davieG Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Some of this is a bit out of date - I'm not sure the Victory even exist or that the Counting house still accepts away fans. But you'd be perfectly ok in the Gateway there's also the Swan & Rushes and avoid the Hind because you're likely to end up being escorted and controlled by the police. You'll find maps of them in here The ground is walkable from the city centre (15-20 minutes), where there are plenty of pubs to be found. Most of the pubs near to the stadium are home fans only. In particular 'The Victory' and 'The F Bar' pubs should be avoided by visiting supporters. Plus the 'Half Time Orange' pub located just over the road from the away end, is a members-only Leicester City bar. Andy Jobson a visiting Southampton fan informs me; 'Probably the best bet for away fans is the Counting House pub on Freemens Common Road. It has a good mix of both sets of supporters, with all the normal facilities on offer'. Beaumont Fox adds; 'This pub is located just off the Aylestone Road, past the Local Hero pub (home fans only) and the Mecca Bingo Hall. It does though exclude away supporters when the game is deemed to be a 'high profile' one'. Andrew Whitefield a visiting Ipswich supporter also recommends 'The Leicester Gateway, on Gateway Street, near to the hospital. This is quite a big pub, busy but not overcrowded, with a mixture of home and away fans. It offers a wide selection of beers, including real ales and has a simple match day menu for food of burgers, sausage baps, chips etc... which were enjoyable and good value'. This pub is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and is around a 15 minute walk away from the away entrance. With the away entrance at your back, turn left and go along the back of the stand. When you reach the Leicester City Club Shop, bear right and cross over the road. Follow this road down to the junction with Upperton Road. Turn right at the t-junction and then you need to cross over the road to the opposite side and then continue right to you reach Jarrom Street. Go along Jarrom Street and take the fourth left into Gateway Street. The pub is a short distance along this road on the right. For those arriving by train then 'The Hind' pub across the road from the station serves a selection of real ales. Otherwise alcohol is available inside the stadium.
Simi Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Hi,Norwich fan here. Making the trip at the weekend and just wondered what public house is usually used by away fans at the Walkers? Many thanks....great site by the way. Cheers. The Counting House near the cinema seems a popular choice for most away fans.
davieG Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 The Counting House near the cinema seems a popular choice for most away fans. The last time I went there, before the refurbishment away fans were being turned away - has it changed again?
Zingari Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Try one of these except number 11 the swan vespas rule that place
Simi Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 The last time I went there, before the refurbishment away fans were being turned away - has it changed again? I walk past there most matches, always flooded with away fans. Hundreds of Plymouth fans there Saturday. Southampton and Palace also took a few in there. You get Police monitoring outside, so it seems they expect them to go there.
Daggers Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 except number 11 the swan vespas rule that place And don't you forget it!
AoWW Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Any Norwich fans feel like picking me up in Attleborough on their way past??!!

AoWW Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Precisely. Await Danny's, "I don't get it...." reply, though!
Manwell Pablo Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Counting House/Local Hero. Heros home fans only.
AoWW Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Precisely. Await Danny's, "I don't get it...." reply, though! It had to happen... PMd to me by DB11: Don't get it. But you said await my response. So I'm not going to post I don't get it I'll just PM you? Fair enough really as you clearly do get it What's he mean? (He did agree I could post this, by the way - I'm not that mean to do it without! And, yes, I've explained the significance of the doughnut too!)
MC Prussian Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 The last time I went there, before the refurbishment away fans were being turned away - has it changed again? It was full of Argyle fans on Saturday - so, yes. Bit of a surprise to me.
MC Prussian Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 It had to happen... PMd to me by DB11: (He did agree I could post this, by the way - I'm not that mean to do it without! And, yes, I've explained the significance of the doughnut too!) Well, he even believes he was born in the 19th century: Supports City since: 1884
Fox You Forest Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 It had to happen... PMd to me by DB11: (He did agree I could post this, by the way - I'm not that mean to do it without! And, yes, I've explained the significance of the doughnut too!)

You are also likely to experience the delights of anal pleasure upon leaving said public house.
