Do you stop on route to an away game for a drink?
SAFCSA Coxhoe Branch work closely with the Northumbria Police Football Intelligence Unit and local away FI police to get permission to call at chosen pubs and clubs throughout the UK.
The branch has a list of favourite pubs that we usually call into before most away games in that area. We usually arrive early to provide at least 2 hours of time inside the pub.
We do not stop at any pubs or clubs on our way back as we return directly home after each match.
