For any info ahead of the game at Watford other than tickets and coach travel.

Links for these threads along with ticket info and Accy Clarets will be in the sticky post.

Plenty of pubs in the town centre.
Train station roughly 15-20 mins walk away.
The Oddfellows is the closest away pub to the ground.

Where we all drinking Friday then? Town centre or Oddfellows?

We get into Watford at 11:30 so might have a beer and food in the town centre then head to Oddfellows.

Watford has always been a bit desolate for pubs, will be interested to try the above two (although I'm guessing the Two Trees Micro will be rammed given where it is).

The big O'Neills right next to the station is always decent for a bog standard pint and pub grub with plenty of screens.

Oddfellows is the official away pub. Again, it's fine but gets pretty busy.

This is a decent pub near the station. https://www.thenascotarms.co.uk/ (run by the same group as the Express Tavern by the Brentford stadium) Has some decent beers on but isn't that big.

A few years ago I parked on the big multi storey in town about 15 mins walk. We paid when we parked to avoid the queues at the machine after the game. Also park as low as poss as it does get busy on the exit.

Nearest free parking:

WD18 OHZ
Parkside

Need to arrive 75 mins before KO.

Bit of a walk but Watford is a jam anyway.
