Saturday afternoon would almost certainly count me out.

All others would be doable

There’s 15 GBG pubs of current or recent editions in Pompey though ;D

Fair enough. I've got to the stage now where I have more or less convinced myself that there will always be more good pubs than I can find time to visit.

If I can take a three day break in Norwich, and do 17 of the 25 GBG pubs in the 2019 edition before bussing it to Kings Lynn, it should be a doddle to clear that little lot. I used to be very partial to Gale's HSB, brewed nearby in Horndean, but Fuller's bought them out and closed the brewery. Vandals.

The GBG is unreliable in my opinion. I think it should be renamed the OK beer guide. Some of the entries turn out to be pubs with half a dozen average beers on.

HSB was my regular drink when I lived along the coast in Sussex in the eighties. I didn't expect anyone else on here to remember it so fondly!

Assuming no managerial changes, it will be the 2nd time Kenny Jacket has managed a league club against us in the FA Cup

I am very reliably informed that near the ground for your real ale types (i.e. me and most of London Alty) is slim pickings. Southsea around the Common is apparently an excellent little circuit. Gunwharf Quays around the ferry terminal & your famed Fullers pub the Still & West for Saturday night out on the razzle. Hope the players get to have a bit of craic after the game too whatever the result-they all deserve it for an outstanding cup run.

Not too far away in the grid of streets between Fratton Stn and the Albert Rd in Southsea there are some very good backstreet pubs with decent ale selections and walkable from the ground. The Lawrence is excellent as is the Sir Loin of Beef which is a bit further away. Various others in the same area worth a visit. Sadly the once amazing Leopold is now a shadow of its former self. Pubs in Milton and the spoons in Fratton will be rammed with Pompey and are not generally a good idea for visiting fans. Gunwharf isn't great for pubs, just the Customs House, Fullers and expensive and a long way from Fratton Park. Good for restaurants though. A decent spoons next to Portsmouth and Southsea Stn but again a fair way off. Southsea Common ok but probably a cab ride.

I was in the Sir Loin of Beef in August. It was friendly pub with an excellent range of beers in top condition which is probably why it has been removed from the Good Beer Guide for 2020.
