pre and post match pub?

[mr. apollo]

Since the Two Brewers is closed (hopefully temporarily) my watering hole is no more!

Where do you lot go? I want somewhere that isn't too jammed, with real ale and not too far away from the ground so my pal with a dodgy knee can walk there post match.

If the pub is jammed but the barstaff know what they are doing that will work too.

In bygone days, on occasions I used made rare appearances in 'The Ship' in South Norwood before a match.
I recall the Northern 'Mine Host' (Who later resorted to a toupee) bellowing out in close proximity to me "Coom on lards, get going to ground, gates are closing".

I usually go to the Victory Club in Selhurst Road . £3 to get in on production of a home ticket and reduced drinks prices, including real ale.
It can get busy but barstaff are very good and the cheese and onion rolls are a must !

Have you heard of Anspach and Hobday they have a brewery on the Purley Way,mainly keg but they do some lovely cask beers.There is a Tap Room at the brewery.

Not really much to chose from near the ground , the good ones have closed down and those that remain are either a long walk , packed out or rubbish ,some tick all three boxes .

Cherry trees at Norwood junction or the already mentioned Victory club would be my choices but these days Im just as inclined to get in the Glaziers ,the beers crap but after half a dozen it sort of grows on you 🙂

Used to visit the Goat House before a game and the Port Manor afterwards. Sadly both closed along with the Alliance and the Ship which I also went in sometimes.

I tend to use the Jolly Sailor - before & afterwards but as a lifetime card carrying lager lout I have absolutely no idea what craft ales they carry -

Can get busy in there though.

Sylvan hall
£2 as a guest. It is a walk of about half a mile from the ground up hill.

I have been known to enjoy a tipple or two in the 'Conservative Club' before a match but this was several years ago.

I also used to use the Goat and before that the Fountain Head.

The number of pubs closed, since i last went a few years ago , is very surprising. Sign of the times, I suppose. Not enough trade during the week to keep them going between match days.
I suppose you could opt for a 2 litre bottle of White Lightning from Costcutter, and a bench by the Norwood clocktower. 🙁

We used to go in the Portmanor back in the day when I lived off Portland Road. It was decent back in the 80’s and 90’s.

Fountain Head in Parchmore Road? Bit of a trek, my parents had a shop opposite
