hendryselbow Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just trying to gauge consensus if this is an absolute no go or not as trying to make plans for the day. Post Remembrance Day stuff obviously, seems like that will all be cleared away by noon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chits And Pieces Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I just wish we were playing in a city that had some pubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1875 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) General consensus is naw I think. It'll likely be freezing anyway and if there's a ceremony on in the morning it's not going to look great if the square ends up in the same state it did the morning after last time. There seems to be plenty of events planned and the atmosphere around the city will be buzzing anyway. Our group plan to pile off the train and drink in the city centre during the afternoon and then head out to the Wembley pubs later in the day. You'll not be far away from like-minded souls wherever you are on the 11th. Edited October 18, 2016 by Daniel1875 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably have ventured down for a couple of hours if there wasn't an event on during the day. We will most likely end up in a pub nearby in the afternoon anyway.

hamilton wanderer Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Kilburn - Irish area not too far from Wembley. A few hundred of us (Passport travel planes) spent the day there in '99 (that was November also). Place was jumping all day and a good few pubs on Kilburn high street.

KennyMiller Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) If we win.... It'll be packed. Id imagine if its dry Trafalgar Square will still have 3/4 thousand there after the rememberance services.

Hampden View Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Obviously some are too cool to go to the Trafalgar Square traditional meeting point but if it appears appropriate given the Remembrance Day activities I'll be there with my group as I'm not a cool dude!. It's traditional, it's fun, it's a great spectacle and believe it or not the tourists and locals love it.................in my humble opinion. If it's a no go areas because of the Remembrance Day stuff I'll be disappointed but I'm sure I'll survive! Of course if you prefer to go to a pub I say go for it. There are no rules!!!!!!!!!

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I can't believe what I am reading . For the sake of your nation keep well clear of Trafalgar Square on 11th Novmber and allow those present to remember their war dead in peace . How would it look if a load of Hibs supporters turned up at Haymarket after the ceremony on Remembrance Sunday singing football songs ,drinking Buckfast and bouncing footballs off war veterans heads , aye it would go down like a lead balloon . Please bear in mind that it was the Scots who did proportionally more of the fighting and dying in the wars . Sorry about this rant , but I worry that a few idiots could bring shame on our country !

Haggis1875 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Arrive in London early morning on the Thursday the only reason i will be going anywhere near Trafalgar Square will be to pay my respects. Pub or me but if there was another gathering elsewhere I would no doubt go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that those idiots that you are talking about will still go and act like louts. I am not saying that a large number of the TA won't go there and behave with respect but unfortunately the narrow minded ones will still go and make a nuisance of themselves anyway.....

THIS Anyone who goes near Trafalgar Square on the Friday other than to pay their respects and leave is a complete idiot and is letting our nation down. This is simply not the day for hanging around, making a mess, putting fairy liquid in the fountains etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
