Following my Olympic Stadium season ticket appointment at Stratford Westfield Shopping Centre yesterday we decided to check out the local boozers to celebrate with a pint.
The only pub we could find located within the Westfield shopping centre is called the Cow so ClaretandHugh Club historian Nigel Kahn, together with a fellow season ticket holders and myself, headed there afterwards for a pint.
Speaking to the pub manager, she confirmed West Ham fans will be welcome on match days when they will move back all the tables to create more room and put extra security on the doors.
Before you get excited at this prospect as your new match day boozer I should point out that a round of three pints came to over £15 so not quite West Ham Supporters Club prices.
I understand both the Black Lion in Plaistow and the Boleyn pub in Green street are considering laying on transport to ferry supporters from their pubs to the new stadium next season. The West Ham supporters club are also considering options to help keep their customers.
Dear Hugh:
The Lighthouse
Tap East
The Plough(Swan Wharf)
The Railway Tavern
Cart & Horses
Happy drinking!
Michael
The Langthorne
Ye Olde Black Bull
Golden Grove (Weatherspoons) £3 for a full English and most pints and ales sub £3.
£5 a pint another advantage of watching home games from Spain Matt £5 buys 7 bottles of San Miguel,but then I can’t sit hand in hand with Oldgit,
It’s getting quite expensive to join the prawn sandwich crew,but great to see the club have dropped prices for the game with Wolves
COYI
Should have called it the cash cow…
