Given the amount of us going, and the train being an easy option, it is possible that the police will guide you to their preferred local.
If not then, there's the Station Hotel, up to the Grey Friars (Wetherspoons), across the road to the Old Black Bull along the street to Roper Hall stopping off at the Adelphi before a brisk 20 minute walk to the ground. Just avoid the Blackamoor Head though.
