Our FA Cup opponents are...

[Mini Goose]

I have just realised what arsenaljack has been saying,

 

Just like to say he is not one of us. Never been to a Canvey game.

What a great result for Clacton! Step 6 comprehensively beats step 5. They'll be on a roll when they visit us.

Hi all Clacton fan here. We are really looking forward to our visit in a couple of weeks. Today we we beat Stansted 4-0 and totaly deserved the win. Billericay will be hard though as you are 3 steps above us. But this is what the cup is all about, we'll have a great day out as long as we can have a couple of pints and a game of pool!

Ahhhh lookie here, it's the "Billericay Hate Club", Talk about me having a problem with Hornchurch, you should look in the mirror.

As the saying goes, it takes one to know one.

Hi Harvs,

Congratulations on yesterdays win; and the previous rounds. You may be aware that we had a little hic-up against st Margarettsbury a couple of season back

I'm looking forward to the FA Cup getting started for us. It gave us a lot of entertainment value last season, & hopefully will do again this time.

Despite what Urchin Mentalist says ( ) you'll find New Lodge a welcoming place.

[GazzaBTFC]

A very welcoming place Rick.

 

UM is just jealous...why else would he dig us out...Sorry, me out.

 

...maybe he fancies me....

 

...lucky old me...

 

...ugh...the thought...

[Rick the Dick]

Do you have feathers, and a beak? Otherwise I believe you're out of luck

[JAY]

we had some when we visited Barkingside a couple of seasons ago. Hopefully they still ok for a while!

What sort of crowd do you expect for this game, although not a big game for you, it is for us!
A few of us loud and barmy clacton fans will be making the trip.

[Localfan]

You'll find New lodge very welcoming and the Strong Bow pump is in the middle of the bar!!!!.... you really don't want any of that warm stuff!!!....I think its called 'mead'or something!!!

 

You'll have a good day ( and thats a good recommendation from a City fan!!)

...but you won't find a pool table unless we get one in especially for you before the game !

[harvs]

Any decent pubs near the ground with a pool table?

Decent pubs with a pool table !?! They take the pool tables out of pubs here (stops the sticks being used as human caning faciltators)

Plenty of decent boozers in High Street though. A list below

The Railway - Give it a miss unless you feel the need to become an alcoholic !

The Crown - Well...'err...it is the home pub, so, err best avoided

Stewarts - Well...'err...it is another home bar,so, again best avoided

The Blue Boar - Well, the home mob made this Wetherspoon place have the word Blue in it and has become the away pub. But like any Wetherspoons, best avoided !

The Chequers - Great looking place, but tends to be frequented by the local bikers, so 'err, best avoided.

The Red Lion - Well, another great looking place, but they have banned football fans after some away fans and locals collided at the bar couple of years back...so, yep you guessed it Harvs....Best avoided.

There is another place just off the high street called The Coach and Horses...But 'err little Nige drinks in there so 'err best avoided.

Now then....moving on you come to The White Hart...hmm, Saturday afternoons tends to be ....'err best avoided.

The Rising Sun - Leave well alone unless you want to get the drunken wedding parties fighting it out before they go to the church down the road ! Defo best avoided...

So, it really only leaves ya with the bar at the ground...

Hope the above info helps ya

[harvs]

right, the bar at the ground it is then !!

[Umbrella Man]

Greetings,

 

You have 3 boozers with pool tables in you have The Crown and The Railway both have decent juke boxes (station end) of high street other end is The Rising Sun no music.

 

Best place for a beer would be The Chequers or The Red Lion both in middle of high street.

 

ps The Blue Boar opens at 9am if your having a proper session.

 

Have a good trip .
