Hey all!

Well the time has come to make my voyage across the Atlantic, and I was curious as to your travel tips pertaining to Spurs and London. I am planning my trip around 3 matches (Sheffield Wednesday @ Crystal Palace-12/15, Spurs @ Citeh-12/18, and Spurs @ L'arse-12/22).

I'm open to any and all suggestions, and am somewhat upset that there isn't a home game at the Lane whilst I'm there. :(

Anywho, thanks in advance!

:cool:

No, I'm actually going.

The Wednesday game is @ Crystal Palace, which is in London, no? Hopefully some of the OA lads make the trip.

yup. south london. selhurst.

but for qpr, the OA boys met up at a pub closer to the heart of town before heading out west to loftus road. so i suspect you'll be able to hook up with them somewhere around st pancras (the train station at which their train will arrive), and head down to selhurst with them. regardless, they'll have a 'london calling' (or some such) thread up that will cover their plans. if you have any questions, you can post them there, or pm the beast. they'll help you sort it.

so, did you get your tickets with spurs? surely you won't be sitting with the citeh folk?

and what part of london are you staying in, by the way?

If you're staying in Islington you will probably be best off going to Kings Cross then getting the Victoria line to Victoria, then jumping off and getting a Southern train to Selhurst. That's the quickest way to get to Palace. From Victoria will take about 20 minutes.

If you need any further info PM me or drop a message here, I lived in Russell Square for years and live 20 minutes out of Victoria now so I know London like the back of my hand public transport-wise.

Have a great trip electric. To be there at Cashburden when we come away with all 3 points, that would be sweet. Just don't wear your shirt.

If I could find one, I would proudly sport it!

Oh, and Skizz (or anyone interested), if you aren't busy on the night of the 21st, I would enjoy some company on my birthday.
