Local pub was the Black Eagle, anyone remember it?
A supporter since 1960.

My father used to have his Sunday Lunch Time pint in there, when he worked at New Northfleet Paper Mills! Remember them?

Yup, I'm a redneck . . . from Ithaca and I live in Cambridge. Riiiight. Are you really from upstate NY, or is that just something you read on some website?

[American FLEET FAN No1]

I am definitely in Upstate NY, with two inches of snow on the ground!

Good heavens! The Southern Tier rears its head. The Broome County Civic Center still gives me the shivers when I think about the iffy shows and games I saw there.

[MrMushroom]

As far as I remember I only got there once, it was one of those 'all work but fit in a much play as you can' assignments. My tastes went more towards X-country skiing, etc.

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Oh my God!!! Binghampton................What ever next, Vestal?

Many thanks for your suggestions guys on local hostelries and ropey hotels, looking forward to the weekend hopefully then some of you may see when you get to meet us that we are not all geeks and losers but football fans although displaced from our home town clubs that just want to support and follow again.

 

Remember some of us are really pleased that fleet was chosen and really are looking forwrd to moving forward as one big new family.

I respect your history and concerns as I am sure the majority do also.

cheers

As to the ropey Hotels, friends of mine stayed at the Granby sometime ago, and they were more than pleased with it.I suppose it might have dropped in standard, I wasn't trying to send you to a Doss House!
