Nice one AmChaff 
I've travelled in many a coach back in the day from Yorkshire and Wolvo to Stevenage. After they parked in what was then an industrial estate and now might be a shopping centre or even the Lamex Stadium just off the A1, we then traipsed back over the A1 to Knebworth Park for some jolly old afternoon and evening sing-a-longs with 10's of thousands of like minded folk we never knew and mostly haven't met since. I never have received my royalties for my part in the live albums that were released afterwards.
Never bothered looking for pub though. A few expensive beers and the 2nd hand (ahem) smoke (cough) from fellow revellers smoking Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men's friend helped you to relax sufficiently without having to use the portaloos too often.

I see Charlton away is now 12:30pm on the tellybox so that's one less trip to The Smoke I'll be making. 11:00-12:00 is my target time for arriving in Larndan, not my idea of a kick off-time. A 2 hour "breakfast" in a 'Spoons isn't something I'd do up here.
Does this help AmChaff?
