Any decent pubs?

A few. If coming by train then try the Honest Lawyer, just around the corner from the station. Probably need a taxi from here to the ground though.

The Berkeley Hotel will admit away supporters, but may restrict the wearing of colours. Close to the ground.

The Old Farmhouse is also near the ground and may also restrict the wearing of colours.
