I'd suggest walking to Moorgate and jumping on the Northern line down to Ruse in Borough, Joga.

Worth getting in there early for a big match like this. It can get crowded but it's all reds at least.

Probably but always ok to see the screens and they usually have enough bar staff on.

Cheers, will be a good atmosphere then at least.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but might be going to Dublin this weekend and wanted to check if anyone here know about any good pubs to watch the game at?

How informative. Did you use this thread? Have you read any of it?

Caffeine · « **Reply #1049 on:** December 11, 2013, 09:12:52 pm »

Anyone know anything about 'No 1 City Road Sports Bar - 1 City Road, EC1 Y1AG'

Found it on here and it's close to my hotel if I can't make it to Ruse.

Hi mate, it will take 15 mins down the Northern Line from KX to Ruse and is a 100 metre walk (right out of station). You will be fine even if you arrive at 3.30/45.

Really? I have never had a difficulty finding a good bar to watch a game in London. You could try reading this thread. It suggests where you might go. That's the idea, like.

I'm staying local in Chiswick. There will be more Reds than Spurs about as we break the WHL hoodoo.

Yep, and is only one exit so just go right out of station and walk along Borough High Street to 280, Ruse is next to the traffic lights

Ruse was great! The score helped the atmosphere too of course.

If I am ever down on match day again I'll be heading back.

Tonyh · « **Reply #1060 on:** December 26, 2013, 12:40:22 pm »

Ruse is open for the City game today

Nick @ TorchTriathlon · « **Reply #1061 on:** December 26, 2013, 12:50:41 pm »

Had a quick flick through, anywhere close to Hammersmith, Barons Court, Shepherd's Bush at all?

Many thanks!

Just realised I walk past this Ruse place most days...Every time I go to the pub in fact, I watch the games at the Dover Castle on Great Dover Street, just around the corner.

Tonyh · « **Reply #1063 on:** December 31, 2013, 06:15:45 pm »

The Hull game is on at Ruse tomorrow with the City game before and the Utd v Spurs game after. Happy New Year to all at RAWK.

Tony - is there any risk of not getting in at all? Never been to Ruse so not sure. Might not be able to get over until 7.30pm so don't want to risk being pub-less!!

Tonyh · « **Reply #1069 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:19:55 pm »

Hi Rich, you should be fine then but reckon it will be a bit tight by ko.

Assume the Ruse is showing the game Saturday?

As the ticket sale was unsuccessful me and some mates having a day on the ale in London and by sounds of it the Ruse is place to go.
