Where’s everyone headed tomorrow night? I’m thinking the Walkabout maybe.
I’m going to Stopperton.
I’ll be watching at home with a mate. I just can’t concentrate fully on a match when watching in the pub, no matter how hard I try. I imagine Elevens (Bale’s bar) will have been booked out long ago. At least the local pubs and bars that survive will get a boost to their bar takings thanks to our qualification.Quote:

Enjoy mate.Quote:

But I find between going to the bar, people turning up, bumping into people you know, queuing in the toilets, going for a smoke (when I smoked) and the general noise in the pub, the game becomes secondary and I come away not having the first clue about who scored, how my team played etc. as I'm too caught up in the social side of matters. Like Tuerto says, if a game means something I really do want to concentrate on it.
Ah that rings a bell to my even horrific memory, ok they can get fcked. I’ll find somewhere else.Quote:

The Heath is a stones throw from my house so I’ll probably just go there to be honest.Quote:

Sure they all would welcome the income.
Gone down the tubes a bit….convenient for me too though. Too many idiots out for Wales games so will stay home for them. Might go pen and wig or woodville for other matchesQuote:

It’s alright in there, right mix of people not just students. Decent beers and alright food. I was quite surprised when I popped in there a few months agoQuote:

I will be watching it at 0800 hours local time here on Waiheke Island, off Auckland.
My host is a Cardiffian friend, although primarily a rugger bugger. He was most disappointed that I didn't recognised yesterday afternoon's host after a walk we did - although Graham Henry, a real card, didn't mind.
The newly refurbished CANTON is open now, 3 televisions, friendly atmosphere.
Great place to watch the match
Would be interested to know how much was their decision, and how much was police. That end of town was under very restrictive licensing conditions for years. It was only after about 10 years of Philly, square etc being abandoned that the police and council relented and let bars go in again.Quote:

I remember being turned away because I had a city shirt on when I went there with my now passed elderly dad. Used to really fcuk me off when you'd see the chaos on rugby match days but city fans couldn't go and get a quiet beer and watch a game.Quote:
