Thought this needed a new thread, as it is essential information!
Anyone know of a good venue for pre match beverages and maybe a little singsong?

Here is an extract from A Fan's Guide to Football Grounds by Duncan Adams:
The main away fans pub is the Golden Lion, which is situated on the A127, just up from the car park entrance to the Main Stand. On my last visit this pub was very busy, but the staff served people relatively quickly. This pub which serves drinks before the game in plastic cups, also had a large screen TV, showing Sky. The nearby Spread Eagle pub is for home fans only. There is also a good fish and chip shop located across the road by the traffic lights, called 'The Fish House', which I found to be excellent. Judging by the amount of fans standing outside eating fish and chips (there is some seating inside as well), then I'm not the only one who thinks it is good.
Henry Willard, a visiting Yeovil fan adds; "The Blue Boar' pub which is at the crossroads (where the traffic lights are) is a very good place for away fans to congregate before the game, it was friendly and relaxed.'
A little further away are two more pubs, 'The Bell' which you pass on your way to Southend on the A127 and 'The Nelson' in North Road. The Bell is a large 'Toby Carvery', whilst The Nelson is a basic pub with a beer garden and is probably only worth a visit if you arrive early and want to kill time. It is five minutes walk from the Spread Eagle. Just go past the Spread Eagle on your right, turn right at the lights and then turn left into North Road, opposite the petrol station. The pub is on the right.
The 'Shrimpers Bar' at the ground itself is now for members only. Please note that alcohol is not served to away fans within the stadium.
Hope this is of some help, coz it took bloody ages to type out!!! ;D
