I’m planning a similar trip across the Atlantic in the spring. I don’t even have them yet.

sidcow Posted July 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2021 Whilst you're here can you try some fruit squash and try to explain it to @il_serpente as I don't think we ever got to the bottom of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to see Palace on November 27 at Selhurst Park and make our pilgrimage to Villa Park on November 30 to see us beat Man City. All that’s left now is getting tickets sorted. Good luck. Hope it goes better than my trip, 3 games. 3 defeats. But that was 15/16 for you. Also, if it isn't on the agenda already and they are running. Do the Villa Park tour. It's a must.

I’m going to see the best footballing team in the world. Plus I’m going to see Manchester City 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go Palace make sure you visit a pie and mash shop and have a double double with chilli vinegar and liquor with a side of eels. Sounds gross but heavenly grub Best is probably Manze's off Deptford Hight Street (if it is still there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company had 2 Christmas Parties there. It's very nice. A modern hotel and just had a big extension. The only thing I would say is that it's a TINSY bit out of the way, you need to cross a busy road (but good crossing points) to get into the city core and the most direct route takes you up a very short but slightly dodgy (probably more dodgy looking than actually dodgy) road. It's just a bit dingy and lots of buses stop there so there's generally loads of people hanging about for buses. Honestly I wouldn't let it put you off but just letting you know what it's like. You can always walk through The Bullring if you don't like the route or if Marks and Spencer is open duck through their back door. There is a massive building site opposite for the new High Speed Railway Station but I don't think that would be very disturbing, there is only really preparation works going on right now, not full blown construction. There is an absolutely brilliant pub right opposite called The Woodmans Rest but you will find noses in there on their match day, maybe on other days too, obviously it is a pub in town so only there are allowed in there obviously Edited July 14, 2021 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you're getting a cab the main road I mentioned will get you straight there in about 10 minutes. I should mention that depending on which side your room is you will have The Sty spoiling your view. Still it will prepare you all the more for the magnificence of Villa Park after looking over that dump. I would also say it's very handy for Millennium Point and Moor Street Railway Station.
