Pubs
Most pubs near the ground are home fans only. If you are arriving at Mill Hill station, then you might want to give the Navigation pub a try. It is a Thwaites pub which sits on one side of a canal and is about a five minute walk way from the station. As you exit the station turn left and proceed straight on up the road in front of you. As you approach a bridge going over the canal, the pub can be seen just over on the right.
