It's the only pub that is dedicated to away fans, just 5 mins walk from the stadium on Fearnley Street.

See you all in there from 5pm!

What train station is nearest?
 
Bond said: "Harry will be at the game - and he will be picking the team, of course.

"It hasn't had much effect this week. Obviously the manager has not been here but other than that there's been very little different really.

"We had a similar situation a few weeks ago, when he had a small procedure [minor heart surgery and wasn't with us ahead of the game at Fulham, but training carries on as normal and we've just got on with things.

"Harry's spoken at the beginning and end of every day with myself and Joe Jordan, talking through how our day has gone. That's been it."

Bond revealed that Gareth Bale (thigh), Scott Parker (hamstring) and Younes Kaboul (groin) are doubts for the game, while Ledley King is also likely to be among the players rested ahead of Tuesday's Premier League meeting with Wigan.

The assistant manager gave Tottenham's position on Mario Balotelli's retrospective red card for stamping on Parker before the Italian won and converted the decisive penalty at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

City No.2 David Platt has been somewhat critical of Redknapp's post-match accusations even though the Premier League leaders have accepted Balotelli's ban, and Bond added: "It looks like an incident he could have avoided. The FA deemed he did it on purpose and took action."

As for tomorrow's game, Bond suggested the FA Cup is becoming more of a priority now Spurs have reached the last 32.

"As we're sat here today, eight points adrift of City, you could say we're probably not in the title race," said Bond. "But who is to say it won't look different and that we won't be closer in three or four games?

"The Champions League was always our focus and ultimate goal but the FA Cup and picking up some silverware is hugely important to us.

"Steven Gerrard said the other day he'd sooner win the Carling Cup four times than come fourth and I understand where he was coming from. As a kid you dream of wining things, of playing at Wembley and picking up the Cup.

"This club has a great FA Cup history and we'd love to win it this year, because we haven't for a while."

Gareth Bale (thigh), Scott Parker (hamstring) and Younes Kaboul (groin) are doubts for tomorrow night.

All three came off during training yesterday and could miss out while Ledley King (knee) is likely to be rested.

Sandro, William Gallas (both calf) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) are unavailable.

Provisional Squad: Friedel, Gomes, Assou-Ekotto, Kaboul, Walker, King, Bassong, Bale, Modric, Van der Vaart, Parker, Livermore, Kranjcar, Defoe, Rose, Dos Santos, Cudicini, Pavlyuchenko, Lennon, Pienaar, Dawson.

I think your right about Adebayor's contract that he can't play cup games. He's not in the provisional squad.

Watford High Street is the closest station.

Most trains come into Watford junction which is about a 10-15 min walk away, you can get the tube from Junction --> High street (just 2 mins).

Would that be a Man City stipulation do you think? Odd if it is, 'cos Man City surely can't be bothered about him being Cup-tied... seeing as we had him all season, and they're out of both domestic cups now anyway... can't see what the big whoopla was, unless (whisper it) HE didn't want to be involved in the Cup(s) this season?????

OK cheers mate.
 
Sounds good about this pub. I'll be hanging around for ages waiting for my dad so just wanted a place to hang around with Yiddos and soak up the atmosphere. Any idea about parking near this pub? Is it better to park at the station and walk maybe? Probably safest bet is imagine? Any ideas welcome cheers.

I know that Watford Junction has a big parking lot which is 15 min walk from the stadium, you avoid any traffic around matchdays aswel. And of course there is the shopping centre called the Harlequin which has about 4 car parks for it, King, Queen etc but it can be a nightmare getting out of at the best of times.
 
yep definitely park at the station, everywhere's residential zonal parking. 1 of the many problems with watford
 
I'm in the odd fellow pub. It is very near the stadium and there are a number of match day car parks very near. I chose the girls grammar school (seemed a relatively safe option).

Bit of a shit pub but they seem to have an outside with a marquee roof and there's a small spattering of lilywhite shirts in here. Decent choice really. It is also very near to Watford high street station from what I can see.

Cheers for the advice fighting cockers. COYS
