So where were the best burgers AJ ?

The Stoop. A halfpounder with cheese, no onions, and brown sauce.

I don't recall the burgers at The Valley.

Dunno about burgers but the roast beef rolls with mustard & horseradish we used to get from the Millennium Bar Carvery at Charlton took some beating.

The Metro ran a competition each home game for a pair of free tickets to Griffin Park....I swear I seemed to win some every time..Happy days!!!

I'd get off the 65 bus just over Kew Bridge and pop in to the 2 pubs right there by the bus stops
They've gone now. One was a Fullers pub. I just can't recall the names of them.

Then I'd stroll up to The Royal Oak and meet mates in there for a couple more, before taking my place on the Ealing Road terrace.

Happy days.

Express Tavern - if so, a fine pub.

That's them. The Wagon & Horses was the Fullers one if I recall.

I know the Express Tavern and have been in there. That is, or was, a London Welsh RU pub. It's over the other side of the road.

I think it was the best ground we played at. Lots of good memories of when we played there, the best one was when Steve Cooper (Homer) were mascots for a midweek game against Huddersfield. It was a red hot day so Steve and i decided to sit by the players entrance and have a cigarette and a beer after the game kicked off, we suddenly became famous when the Sky cameras filmed us.

How terribly unprofessional (and how much did those Buck & Dusty outfits stink)
