Can't remember where most went last year, there were a couple close to the docks that had a few of us in after the game. I drank in the city centre pre-match. If you're looking for a pub with great pre-match atmosphere then I can't comment if you're looking for a cracking pub then I recommend The Red Lion, I can recall it was about a five minute walk from a Wetherspoons which was next door to a hotel I stopped in (Star Hotel I think it was called). Red Lion pub had some decent booze, decent food, decent juke box a random parrot in a cage and is a really really old building.

"It's ok postman , he'll lick you to death" "That isn't really that comforting , I still end up dead !!"

Going to my 1st palace game in over a decade (I live in Taiwan)! Looking for a pre-game pub to warm up with a bit a atmosphere?

I'm making the short trip from Gosport for this one, Yates, above bar always has a great atmosphere with loads of Palace it on the way to the ground from Central station.
