[W6hoops]

I think there is a weatherspoons pub near the home end called `The glass in the face` the locals seem to gravitate there for some reason!

Hope it's one of those old wimpys where they cook the burger why you wait. Hate these mc d type burgers.

Oh yes it's a proper sit down with cutlery affair. ;)

Opposite Thornton Heath Railway Station there is a Wetherspoons pub, popular with both home and away supporters. It is about a 15 minute walk from here to the ground (as you come out of the pub turn right and follow the other fans). There are plenty of Kebab & Chip shops available on the route to the ground.

Phil Moore recommends the following pubs around Selhurst Park, where on the whole, away fans are tolerated:

As Phil says; 'Good news for real ale lovers is that Palace is surrounded by more CAMRA listed pubs than ever, I think there are 4-5 in the CAMRA Good Beer G uide. Not to mention the two Wetherspoon outlets'

Around Selhurst Railway Station:

Two Brewers - Gloucester Road
From the station cross the road using the zebra crossing and turn right (heading away from ground). Gloucester Road is third on the left. Comfortable cottage type pub. Small public bar, Shepherd Neame ales on sale -rare outside Kent.

Clifton Arms Clifton Road
Turn left out of the station and take the 3rd road on the left. This is the nearest pub to Stadium. A big Victorian corner pub well known for high quality of ales. Selection changes weekly. 3 or 4 bitters always on. Drawback: due to popularity away fans will only be admitted if they turn up early. After One thirty it's Palace season ticket holders only past the doorman.

Around Thornton Heath Railway Station:

The Railway Telegraph - Brigstock Road

From the station cross the road (zebra) and turn right. Pub is 100 yards down this road. A spacious Youngs house. Firm favourite with away fans. Also there's a Wetherspoons pub directly opposite the station.

Around Norwood Junction Railway Station:

The Alliance - Station Road (by clock tower)

A gem. Usually two real ales. Narrow shape of bar does means it can get crowded when waiting for service. Bar staff are friendly.

Wetherspoons - South Norwood High Street
A few doors down from the Alliance. Standard Wetherspoons fare.

The Ship - South Norwood High St

From Station Turn right at Clock Tower into the High St. Continue down to cross roads with Portland Road. Cross with care and carry on for another 100 metres. The Ship is a free house with 3-4 real ales and ciders. Has wooden floor, juke box SKY TV. Very noisy.

The Portmanor - Portland Road

From Station Turn right at Clock Tower into the High St. Continue down to cross roads with Portland Road. At crossroads turn right heading downhill under railway bridge You can't miss the pub. Do not be put off by garish disco decor this place serves great beers. Usually 3 real ales. Banks of TVs behind the bar are continuously screening football.

Alternatively alcohol is served inside the ground.
