Beer for away fans
« on: September 21, 2023, 11:57:24 AM »

Ebbsfleet fan here in peace.

Quick query, any idea if you serve beer to away fans?

Looking forward to Saturday, expecting a defeat.

Cheers

Safe travels on Saturday. Away fans as far as I know, don't get served alcohol on the away terraces, as nowhere out of sight of the pitch.

The King George, 100 yards from the ground is welcoming for a beer.

On the game, I expect a tough encounter, should be a good game.

Also plenty of town centre pubs, bars and cafe bars....real ale, lagers, the lot, all 20mins walk away and near tram/train/bus station. Best Google it.

Hope your match prediction is correct....only been your place once when Daish in charge and we lost

As Dave said. The King George is very welcoming to away fans for a pre-match drink and it's only 100 yards from the away end.

The bars in the ground aren't accessible from the away end since we started segragating fans.

Plenty of bars and pubs in the town centre / market area.

I'd give Spoons a miss. It must be one of the worst in the country.

Cheers for the heads up!

Will head to the King George then.

Have stayed in Alty lovely town, but haven't been to Moss Lane, looking forward to it.

Look up the Old Hall on Stockport Road as well. The new manager was recently touting for away football fans business on the Alty fans Facebook group.

Spoons......certainly takes some beating to find a worse one in England.....started life though as a Lloyds No1......hence crap layout and decor...tired looking place as well now, but does stay open late.
Used to like a Spoons in the days of two cottage pies with chips for a fiver and decent real ale, but food is poor now and beer is hit and miss, so Unicorn is a last resort for me

The one in Kettering was worse than that when I visited a couple of years ago. My feet were stuck to the carpet whilst waiting to be served at the bar.. It also could have done with fumigating.
Cheap booze is no recompense. Have never been in another Spoons from that day to this.

I've drunk in almost 200 different Wetherspoons, and beyond a shadow of a doubt the worst was the Navigator in Old Swan, Liverpool. But ours is pretty poor.

Worst spoons I've ever been to is the Rockingham Arms, Elephant and Castle. Absolute sh*thole that took 20 minutes to get served on a Tuesday night

20 mins : let me guess.....of the 8 staff; one cleaning coffee machine, one polishing wine glasses, two in the back, one sorting menus, manager pacing bar area and two serving people at the bar in any random order. Tables stacked high with dirty plates and glasses. It winds me up, but is the price of cheap drinks  ;D
