MATCHDAYS
The London Branch organises tickets and travel for most away matches. Train travel from London is generally booked well in advance to make it more economic. An away pre-match venue, usually a pub, is identified for socialising and for the distribution of tickets. Sometimes a supporters' team match is organised for the morning of a Saturday fixture.
If you are interested in matchday travel contact travel@cusclb.org.
A limited number of matches (generally those not played at 3pm on a Saturday) are available on i-follow. Branch members and others sometimes meet online in what is called 'the virtual pub' via Zoom for these matches. Details of these matches and how to join the virtual pub will be in the members' weekly newsletter (vHTB) when appropriate.
