    When I've done trains from london to Andover before they've been a nightmare.
    The trains are rubbish, such a short distance and takes forever and a week.
    I take it you are in the Army are you based in Tidworth?

      Yes mate, will be living in Costa del Bulford. No other rangers down here I know of so will be good to know any other rangers in the area.

        Like many R's, have been having Pie & Mash before the game there for donkey's years, always go there if we are local during the week as well, and signed the petition last season.

        Playing devil's advocate, why can't Cooke's find alternative premises locally to continue supplying the best pie & mash in London by a country mile.

        They have a thriving business with loyal happy customers.

        I know nothing about the new development, what are they proposing?, obviously not keeping a part of London's Heritage.

        Anyone remember the one opposite the Hammersmith Odeon, saturday morning pictures followed by pie & mash, then the tube to Shephersds Bush to watch Rodney & the boys.

          They could relocate and have the same food granted, but as I said before, it wouldn't be anything like the same as it is now. Won't be the same eating it in a brand new shop, with brand new furniture etc that could just as easily be in a jumped up sushi bar.

          The old school grubby seats, stained tiles etc on the edge of the market all add to the charm of the place.

            They won't buy new furniture, they'll just move the chairs, tables, flags, silver dish washer & backward running clock.

            Seriously though, the most important thing is we still have a pie & mash shop no matter what happens.

              Integrate a new Cookes into our new stadium when built. We must not lose them from the Bush.

                Your echoing the words of my wife, imagine a decent pub or two as well.
