wheres everyone drinking satdee
found this on footballgroundguide.co.uk
Robert Nunn a visiting Reading fan informs me; 'Myself and a friend parked in Longford, about a ten minute walk away from the stadium, and found a host of pubs situated along Longford Road. Whilst most looked quite partisan and only had Sky Blue shirts in, the "JK English Pub" was most welcoming. This Indian/Pub had a pub feel (pool table, jukebox, etc) but was also an Indian restaurant. On Saturday's it also does a £5 all you can eat lunchtime buffet'. To find this pub, coming away from the North Stand at the Ricoh, follow the towpath over the canal for about 400 yards passing the Tesco Extra on your right (which also has a cafe). When you come on to Longford Road, head right, towards Coventry City Centre and the pub is around 200 yards on your right hand side. Jamie Greenway adds; 'The Black Horse Pub, in-between Longford and Exhall has been attracting a fair amount of away supporters for most games. If you go to the top of Longford Road and around the roundabout towards Exhall, its on the right and normally has a burger van outside'. Whilst Paul Hunt a visiting Norwich City supporter recommends; 'the Coach and Horses on the Longford Road. Not the greatest looking pub from the outside, but a very friendly welcome, with SKY sports television and tasty rolls on offer. The only drawback was the lone real ale pump, that alas was not on. We also parked there while we went to the match'.

wardrobe monster.... Ye i have used the pre-pay parking, its not far from the pub and bout 12min walk to the ground.
It is very good, i would recomend it, personal touch, the guy (Keith) has e-mailed me and confirmed the booking and all the reviews have been very good.
The pub looks decent as well!
