I've said it on another thread but are there any Wire fans in London looking to watch tonight's game? I'll be on me tod, so if anyone's planning on watching it, or knows a League friendly pub down here, let me know and I'll buy you a half.

Where in London?

Bit bloody late now!!!! I'm south of the river, near Elephant and Castle. Managed to get the game in my flat so I didn't miss it and I hope to be at the next ones live but if there are Londoners or Wire fans in London who regularly watch the game at one place I'd be interested.

It's difficult down here, if there's nowt on and a pub does have Sky just ask, usually not a problem BUT if there is a football game especially a London club forget it. There's a pub close the Skolars ground The Nelson that always shows games but Wood Green from E&C is a bit of a trek.

True, I've only just moved down here so I don't know the friendly pubs yet, hopefully I'll be playing some league this season so I can find out what the lads in the side do to watch a game but we could do with a bit more of a league presence down here (same old story!).

There are a few amateur clubs around SW London, if you get in with those guys i'm sure you'll find a decent pub.

My mate normally goes to Walkabout in Covent Garden but on Friday due to loads of other stuff being on they had trouble finding a place but you can normally get to see all games in a place called Comedy upstairs just off Piccadilly/Leics sqaure.

We should start off a London branch of Wire supporters

Wires in Royal Establishments Suburbs or WIRES for short

Try watching in Shanghai

And meet at The Warrington pub

I'll spread the word up here for you, i reckon I could get 10,000 + shouting 'WIRES WIRES WIRES' at the next match.

Hope the exposure will help your group

Try watching the Wire at the Stretton Fox

I'm game if you lads are. Find a friendly boozer and occupy it on Wire days - I'm sure the bar tab would endear us to the land lords!

What about Wires Round London - WRL?

But I'd be on for this. Can we have our 1st meeting for the game on Friday?

There's a pub in Chiswick called Connolly's that is usually OK to get a game on. It also has 2 screens - one on each side of the pub so can show 2 matches / sports at once.

If you want I can check that they will definitely have it on.

I'm not sure I can afford to keep bribing my mate with free takeaways and beers as I did to watch last Friday at his gaff!

Any parking around there, i'd be up for it, i work in Perivale so not too far away

It would make my day to find a pub with rugby in London.. moved here about four months ago and fell out with Walkabout in Covent Garden when they only showed the second half of the cas match a while back because 'they have too much on already'.. as if Aussie Rules is more important!!

This city sends me insane.. spend half my life explaining to everyone what rugby league actually is!

This sounds like a decent idea, find all the Wires in London, have a nominated boozer that shows the game, possibly even a car share for going the games for the people who are going up north. We could be on to something here.

(If we go ahead I'll give you more detailed instructions!) So is everyone up for this? This is the place I'm thinking of: www.connollysofchiswick.co.uk/index.htm I'll check with the people there and post some details on Thursday if so.

Could have done with this a few years ago. In almost twenty years of living in London, I succeeded in getting a Wires match put on a pub telly the grand total of two times. Once was an inconsequential Sat eve match away at Cas, and the other was the Regal Trophy final when Wigan battered us at Huddersfield.

The only problem with that is, Chiswick's bloomin miles away. I'm based in Elephant and I imagine there are others who're closer in, so somewhere more central might be an idea. (Also anywhere that does real ale would be a bonus, I can't be drinking larger all night. Well I could but I'd prefer not to!)

Elephant to Chiswick isn't that far, in London you need to get used to travelling a bit.

Get the underground to Waterloo and a 15 minute train ride Chiswick, piece of p*ss

Is it? From taking a look, Chiswick looked a bit more of a trek than that. Well you're the one who's been here longer so I'll take your word on it.

So down here we have
