I always find it easier to stroll to the royal oak once the game has actually finished and settle down with a quiet ("quiet" !! ) pint and mull over the match for half an hour. By that time most of the traffic has cleared. But even saying that, Ive seen lads leave 10 minutes early from 37/38, then seen them in the pub when I got there, and they are still there when I leave, now that logic I cannot understand.
