Is this right:

Saturday 13th: 5:30pm Fulham vs Reading
Tuesday 16th: 745 or 8pm Reading vs Fulham

Just making sure I've got the dates/times right for booking stuff off work and getting tickets hopefully.

Haha well remembered.

However, the Saturday she had arranged to meet her friend for Lunch which she couldn't possibly re-arrange or move... despite the fact I had told her the dates and they were in our joint calendar.

Her parents are down on the Sunday - but I will probably be smashed in town watching the Sheffield Wednesday vs Huddersfield game so I hope she doesn't expect me to be around for that sh*t

Tickets looking in doubt for me due to not having a ton of points.

Looking at this thread with interest. Would ideally like a town centre pub - may just stick to the Nags Head which is close enough to walk to

If I remember you've got about 4 choices:

3 Horseshoes on Reading Road
Bird in Hand and Saracens Head on Greys Road

And I think the Queen Victoria, behind the Town Hall has Sky too.

All of them are OK pubs.

I was in the Saracens the other week. It's very much a 'back street local' place, but they seemed friendly enough. There was a lot of Chelsea in there when I went (well there was a Chelsea game on) so you might get a receptive audience for watching Fulham get beat :)

Anyone getting the Waterloo train, Sports Bar & Grill in Waterloo Station is geared up for an influx of fans on Saturday. 24 TV screens showing the 12.30 kick off, (Man City V Leicester) and Soccer Saturday afterwards.

Or if you are going to Paddington, Sports Bar & Grill Marylebone is only a couple of stops along the Bakerloo line

From the tickets thread:

bloody Volvo driver Travel news, but there is engineering works on SWT between Barnes and Clapham Junction this weekend with replacement buses / diversions on the Reading - Waterloo service, so anyone thinking of taking the train to Putney from say Winnersh, Wokingham, Bracknell etc, and walking down the High St and over the bridge will either have to slum it on the bus replacements or seek an alternative route.

Anyone thinking of going on the Waterloo line, then bear in mind Putney mainline station is apparently closed on Saturday!! The trip from Bracknell says change at Virginia Water, VW to Barnes and bus from Barnes.
Alternatives include District Line from Richmond or just go via Paddington as I am sure most of you are anyway
