PSF update

[David Carpenter]

According to last seasons Southern S&W ground guide - 5 minutes.

[David Carpenter]

Mind you looking at the map RR is probably nearer with 10 minutes! Then again a couple of pub visits en route could make it ....?

Not worth the price at £1.50, you tight git Glen. Its great we have our own non league paper

[GlenSTFC]

Well it's not compared to a national newspaper is it! Besides personally not interested in pages of tables, fixtures, women's football or match reports so I'm left with about 15 pages of news not great value.

[Reading Rebel]

I'd say 10/15 minute walk. I don't think there are any pubs on route Dave.

[David Carpenter]

There's a pub right outside the station - admittedly Greene King so not my favourite and I thought I picked up on one in Cow Lane but I'll check again tomorrow.

You're right Dave there is one at the station but I really meant on route to the ground.

Anyway I'm getting the choo-choo to Didcot so I can have a few beers! 

I would suggest going into Generous George for a few beers. This was the Hungry Horse, but instead of being owned by Greene King, it is now owned by Marstons, and so has 6 Ales on. So a much better Real Ale pub

Thank you Andrew that was the one I was thinking of in I think Cow Lane. As you say it seems to have a reasonable selection of beers and a bit of fodder. So perhaps we could make that the meeting place for any Rebel Supporters fancying a bevy before the match? COYRRAD!

[David Carpenter]

Had a further look - the pub is a Generous George pub called The Ladygrove. Does 6 real ales although the reviews I have been reading indicate they are often running out and some pretty poor reviews for the restaurant side of things. Pub is refurbished 1950's estate pub so might have another think.

[Andrew]

The pub is not a 1950's estates pub. As the Ladygrove Estate did not exist before 1995. I work at Didcot Railway Centre as a volunteer, and witnessed the estate being built. The pub was built arond 1996. And was owned by Greene King, and was a Hungry Horse. It is now owned by Marstons. I have been in there sevaeral times, and each time, there were 6 Ales on

Thanks Andrew - I agree late 1990's not 1950's as I erroneously typed. I agree best bet on the way to the ground just thought everyone should be aware of it's modern estate type. Ironically due to current effects of medication I may not be able to tipple anyway! Interested that you work as volunteer at Didcot Railway Centre. I really like Heritage Railways and recently travelled on the Watercress Line. It's some time since I visited Didcot and if time allows I will call in on the day.

Best of luck with your work; I volunteer with special needs and like you find I am sure it is all very gratifying.

Beer and rebels fix sounds so good!

[AshbyRebel]

Looking forward to me and my daughter having a day trip to Didcot ................. I do spoil her
