Flying to Stansted and will be in London by 3-30 pm have we been alloted an away pub for tomorrow?
If so whats it called and 1 more thing what tube stop do you get off for Palace? Remember guys anyone on the tubes tomorrow
have your wits about you as Millwall v QPR is also tomorrow and the cyber warriors have been bigging this up as a real
flash point match so I would hate to see any of ours being signalled out intensionally or unintensionally.

The Wetherspoons opposite the station is always popular, but all the pubs on that road to the ground will have some of ours, hope you have a good one. ;)

Is the tube station called Crystal Palace or is it a overland railway station?

It's the Thornton Heath train station, don't think there's any tubes that far South. It's a ten minute walk from the station to the ground. Or a four minute sprint if your chasing someone. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's overground. Most tubes north of the river. Most overground south of the river.

Yeah Norwood Junction is closer.

Norwood Junction from London Bridge on the Southern line, it's the first stop on a lot of trains or the 7thish on the slower ones.
Norwood Junction is on the Overground line as well, you can get to this line from Jubilee line (tube) at Canada Water or from District / Hammersmith and City (tube) from Whitechapel.

I think the one being mentioned is by Thornton Heath, which is on the Southern Line from London Victoria. Or swap at East Croydon if going from London Bridge, a lot less trains go there than Norwood Junction. It's all within 15 mins walking distance anyway.
