Full of Chelsea fans mate

All 2 of them.........

Go redmen

[dareylee]

The biggest downer on 3kings is that you have to pay 3 quid to get in which is bollocks but you do get a bottle of beer with that so it works out as a little less.

Still, worth it as i'd rather pay to watch in there than go elsewhere for free. It'll be bouncing again, no worries about being close to chelsea

Paying to get is a bit of a downer, on the plus side you don't have to queue at the bar for 20 minutes for yer first beer.

YNWA

Is F3K a little close to Chelsea territory to be a viable option.

Not at all. I saw like 6 chelsea fans in there last tuesday. The bar at the back with the big screen will at least be packed out with reds. Like I said not as good as the Arsenal games which was fantastic but still rather watch it in f3k than anywhere else in the area (except stamford bridge of course.. )

Most chelsea fans do not live in chelsea/fulham/west ken etc. because it's too expensive. The majority come in from greater london. I remember getting a train back from Charlton a couple of years ago; Chelsea were at home the same night and Charing Cross station was full of their fans going somewhere SE London.

Should be getting in there just before 7 again personally

[ScouserTom]

some of my family are going to be in London for tomorrows match unfortunately.

I have been assigned a task to find out from you people if you know of the bests pubs to watch the match around the Victoria area?

help and advice would be greatly appreciated 

[Cannon_Fodder42]

Victoria?  Jump on the district line, ten mins to West Kensington and F3k is right by the station.  Voila!

[joa]

And its ok for girls? Don't want to get attacked by a gang of Chelsea fans!
What time do you recommend getting there for?

[liverpoolynwa]

Will I get in (18 years old)?  ONly I read somewhere that sometimes they only do 21+ and as I'd be coming in from Reading it would take the piss a bit

[watyeonaboot]

Fuck me, how overrated is the Three Famous Kings. Atmos is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be.

Sort it out - there are other places to watch the football around London as well

Any suggestions for north London/City? Trains are disrupted from Olympia tomorrow night, which might rule F3K out for me

Any news from the crowd who used to go the kings head on Essex Rd?

Do you fancy listing those "other places"?
You would be hard pressed to find somewhere with as good an atmosphere as there was for the arsenal games, last week wasnt quite as good, but i dont know of anywhere better.

Would it be worth organising this thread in the way that the guide to overseas pubs has been done?

Yes.

Hey guys,

I'm heading down to London tomorrow by train (first time ever going there) and I'm just wondering where the main congregation of fans will be heading during the day? I remember in last years semi final that fans seemed to be gathering outside in some kind of square (Trafalgar square? - no idea), so I'm just trying to get the jist of where people will be.

Got a train ticket valid for all London stations so I'm just wondering which would be the best train station to head to in terms of Liverpool fans and atmosphere. Will be getting down there for about 2pm.

Cheers!

[joa]

Help, I'm confused - Liverpool girl working in London need to watch the match with like minded people!
Where else is there besides the 3 kings if this is overrated.
Answers please only one day to go!

[Dr Cornwallis]

They're all friendly.  What are they going to do?  Pull out their phones and take a photo of you? 

[liverbird_soph]

Harsh! It can be a little intimidating when you're a girl and going somewhere that you don't really know to watch a match. Not all pubs are friendly!

edit: if you are talking generally rather than replying to joa, then apologies and just ignore me!!

[joa]

It can be quite intimidating being in a pub outside of Liverpool watching the footie (esp for a girl), its better to know where to go i.e. that I'm not going to walk into a pub full of Chelsea (or manu!) supporters. Its important to get settled somewhere good before the game - don't want to have to move on after kick off.

[Gus 1855]

Definately going to the 3K tomorrow.

Will feel a lot better being around fellow reds as the nerves unlease themselves.

[joa]

Hi Liverbird, thanks for the mail, I am having a few issues responding apparently I can't reply to messages ??! Anyone help?

[Armin]

Sorry joa you'll need to reach 15 posts before you can send IM's.

Try email in the meantime

[neel2108]

And its ok for girls? Don't want to get attacked by a gang of Chelsea fans!

Yeah its fine, my sis is a die hard red like myself, lives in the area and we go there all the time.

Will I get in (18 years old)?  ONly I read somewhere that sometimes they only do 21+ and as I'd be coming in from Reading it would take the piss a bit

Just make sure you bring ID. Its abit strange for a pub to ID people but they do. On big football nights like this they would never think about restricting the audience! The landlords a red too. I'm 19 and never had a problem so you should be fine.

Like I said, would strongly recommend F3K.

[joa]

F3K it is then, thanks every1.

Come on you reds

A few of us are going to the Hops Bar which is near Covent Garden, off the strand, a gang from the forum "Est 1892" plus some peeps from where I work.

Where is this 3FK then? How do I get there? haha

[neel2108]

Turn right out of West Kensington Station (District line) The pub is right next door to the station

OK I'm coming clean, when you turn up tomorrow ask for Lee, thats me, I took over the 3 Kings 5 weeks ago, I was running a pub on the King's Road in Chelsea before hand, they really enjoyed the fact I was a stout red, I will be in the middle bar wearing a red shirt of sorts, can't decide which one to wear. I will be the one responsible for YNWA before the game, at halftime and at the end......

Be early for the full build up.......

You used to run a pub on the Kings Road...hmm, I bet you know my friend Pete.

Anyway, I digress - 3 Kings sounds good! Sounds like you're going to be very busy tomorrow night!

[dan17]

do you do requests lee? how about a bit of ring of fire? cant remember if you played it last week. hoping for a good atmosphere tomorrow

[eoa106]

Definately going to the 3K tomorrow.

Will feel a lot better being around fellow reds as the nerves unlease themselves.

If the result goes our way, I might drop by the 3K for a post-match party...

Good on ya for spreading the faith amidst the infidels

[harrythedog]

I'm working in london, Reds boozer I used to drink in on Goodge street got turned into a sushi bar so I'll be at the 3K tomorrow 

[Kerant]

Are any Liverpool fans going to be meeting outside in a square somewhere like last year? (or this year - like Derby Square in Liverpool)?

Just curious because I think it would be better to be outside for the build up during the day, providing the weather holds up!

[Guz-kop]

Well name them then ffs.

I live in west london and am in paddington 9-6, I havent got the time to be trekking it around the city to watch the game when there's a perfectly good boozer with singing reds close by

I think one rendition of YNWA is enough, there seemed to be like 6 before the chelsea game !

Nice one mate! Any chance of getting the program on the screen early? I get too fucking anxious standing there watching motocross till half 7

[neel2108]

Its true, I'm with Tam usually and he's fucking chewing his fingers off when I get there!

On the downside, It seems I've left my ID back at home instead of bringing it with me to student halls , since I look young and get ID checked everytime I go to F3K I suppose I'm gonna be watchin it on the laptop tommorow night   

[Gus 1855]

Can you sort your Guinness out?

Oh, well done on showing the Naughty games by the way!
