 Still a bit of a way for a family day out .
  The Sea front is  pleasant ( beyond the Docks ) with a nice putting green and refreshment  place .
    However parking is dire .. and theres a dodgy  One- Way system round there..

Wife fancies going to yarmouth for breakfast along the front then eading down there for noon while i go to match. If anyone knows the place have they any idea of a cheap and decent place for tea after the game(bearing in mind we will have a 2 year old with us).

Did you get yours from a nice man in Eagles car park?  I got a car radio from that man, which was a bit of luck as when I returned to my car I found the radio has been stolen! ;) ;D

I too am going and taking girlfriend out for weekend, nice hotel in yarmouth then  shall park near ground, by look of it the shops are five mins walk from ground so she will not be bored, not taking her to match seeing as last time took her we let in five at mansfield.

Hi Bostonshire. Being a Lowestoft lad I cannot recommend Gt. Yarmouth (many of us locals keep clear of the place with its 'Kiss Me Quick' hats!). Lowestoft is a quieter place than Gt. Yarmouth but the seafront and beach are classier. The sea is shallow if your daughter wanted a paddle and the beach is clean and an award winner. I think our beach feels far safer. With the weather this weekend it should be lovely! I can recommend the Lighthouse Cafe for a very good tea / breakfast / eat but this is at the north end of the town at the foot of the cliff at Sparrows Nest. Would need to drive there before returning to the seafront. If you wanted to eat on the seafront you have got Captain Nemos on the Claremont Pier and Thatched Restaurant a bit further up that are both good. If you want a great chinese then there is Gourmets opposite the Thatched Restaurant. There are others but these are the ones I would prefer to go to myself. In town centre the Library Cafe (above Godfreys shop in Suffolk Road) is very good and about ten minutes walk from the ground itself. And, near the bridge (and again ten mins from the ground) you have The Pizza and Pancake Co.

What a great forum. Learne about football, Fat Scotsman, furniture, willies, sex aides(perhaps you should log onto Ann Summers), travel and lots of other exciting life experiences.  ;)

Congrats blue2. Nice to have heared from you. I think thats about 270 minutes without a goal if the info on the live update was right. Good luck in the next round. As is often said in this situation we can focus on the league now.

Thanks. It was a good cup tie with a great atmosphere, even if some fans from both sides went over the top with the banter. I always thought you were there for the taking today and so it proved. You had one clear chance which should have been taken but overall I think the scoreline was fair. You do seem to have some problems up front and did not create much, but there was not much between us. Good luck for the rest of the season.

I'd worry about getting Lowestoft again, the 6 fingered, toothless brigade would be out in force again, I think it could of and probably would be nasty if that happened again.

Only six fingers? I counted seven!
I don't think you could call it a 'brigade' but I understand where you are coming from. It was only a handful but that is all it takes. Most fans at the game did not behave this way and many fans, both home home and away, were not impressed.
