Where is the best pub to drink in Saturday, is that pub on that hill away fan friendly ?
After going to that associate members cup match and the police over kill that day, they took a sniffer dog on the supporters coach (found a half eaten prawn sandwich and an empty Tizer bottle) ;D, but I can see this being a full belts and braces job for the police on this one, I hope they do a better job than the last time when herding fans around.

I bet the TVP will be dicks and wont let any oxford in pubs Do TVP have authority to do that on another force's patch? For the Johnstone's Paint match earlier this season there were a lot of Ox fans in the pub on the main road that runs past the non-stand end of the ground. Was OK for that match, possibly a bit small if there are 1,000+ there on Saturday.

I've tried that pub 3 times, first yr OUFC took it over, no problems. 2nd year, we got in there at about 5 30. and all of a sudden we was only OUFC in there and about 50 Aldershot were in and around the pub. So police got us out and to leave. in JPT there was fair few OUFC in there. No problems. Apparently a lot of OUFC are going drinking in pub behind there open end and down the road a little.

The Lion a little way away (out of the town) from the open end, or La Fontaine a bit further along from the one on the top of the hill are decent boozers and closish to the ground. More room in The Lion than La Fontaine Dunno if its changed recently, the landlord of The Lion is/was an ex Aldershot player

See my (11.29 train thread) post regarding pubs...you're on thin ground! Oh, and pub at North Camp station, I'm reliably informed is pretty dodgy!

The Crimea is by far the best pub for a pre match beer, yes lots of Shots get in there but they are a decent bunch, no need to worry about colours and all that. Bit like your Priory, a good mix of beers but it is a bit small. The Golden is also a good boozer, about 10 mins walk from the ground, and yes, run by ex-Shots player Joe Joplin. La Fontaine is also not a bad pub, but being close to the away end there will be loads of rozzers about there. Stay well away from the Beehive though, some of our single brain cell ameoba drink there and once they have sniffed the barmaind apron they will want a fight.

We went in La Fontaine before the JPT match. It was friendly but pretty quiet. Unsurprising though as there wasn't a great turnout from either set of fans. I can't imagine Aldershot being friendly or quiet this time round though...

There are some real rough places in Aldershot. You could always try Farnborough in Boundary Road --The Thatched House does cheap food and decent beer. Around Yateley there is the Highwayman a real decent pub with food and beer to match. Eversley there are loads of pubs the best one being the Frog and Wicket which is opposite the cricket green. Great beer and the food is pretty good too. Well worth a visit and only twenty minutes from the ground

Joe Jopling used to play CB for The Shots runs the Golden Lion
La Fontaine (top of Redan Road) was full of Aldershot's thugs last time I went in there in 2007 and i'd stay well clear pre or post match.

It generally feels like you're entering a war zone for the Shots game hence why I think ticket uptake has been slow.
Anyone know how many have sold today? We were on about 700 out of 1050 I think at COP yesterday

We should sell out for this.

We should sell out for this. We SHOULD do. But we wont. And that will be very poor. We're doing well away from home. And it's only up the road from Oxfordbased fans
