4 Kings Saturday night?

Ditto as Addicks. It's great to be able to sit with the same mates while watching different events.

There is a reason why 4 Kings won best sports bar, and nearly won best bar overall you know...
70 + screens ftw!

no worries, different strokes for different folks. I was upstairs at JJ Murphy's, they turned their pool hall into a phoenix zone. The sound was s*** so you couldn't hear the commentary because of the band playing downstairs, otherwise would have been a cool place.

Sadly was to packed when I got there, ended up at murphys instead, showed the game upstairs, was good decent amount of folks there aswell.

I got to FK late as was at the cricket first and made a mad dash. Was in the line up to get in but gave up. When looking through the windows though I was amazed to see so many people NOT wearing nix/YF shirts.

I ended up going to Hotel Bristol. There was commentary and no band. Good atmosphere but would have rather have been at the 4K. Who would have thought that most bars being packed out for the game.

I stuck with the line and got in. Huge amount of bandwagoners, many of them leaving after it hit 3-1. Kinda sucked that some YF regulars couldn't get in because of them, but hey, business is business. I've got the same attitude as the Jets game - hopefully some of the bandwagoners enjoyed it and will come back for next season, home matches AND away matches.

What I couldn't get was the few people there NOT watching the game Kind of a waste of space IMHO haha

I should have stuck it out but the bouncer dude said it was full and they weren't letting people in.

Yeah I also hope the bandwagoners come back.

I was at a band gig at san fran bathouse and in between sets i raced out down to bristol where the bouncer gave me a funny look (dressed in full goth gear) & poked my head in jst in time to see sydney get their 3rd goal then sprinted back to SFBH in a bad mood stealthkiwi2010-03-14 20:01:30

question... if backbencher is for home games and 4kings for away then where is going to be home base for world cup games

With the time difference in South Africa, I'm thinking a lot of games will be early morning so I'll be watching from the comfort of my home.

we got one game at 11.30pm and two at 2am (NZ time), i'll be in a bar somewhere but i'll be doing well not to be completely pissed by kick off!

ahhh Really damn those times suck. But I'll be in town for the 11:30 game

by the later stages of the tournament the important games will all be at 6.30 am. So when it goes into extra time pushing on 9am there is that age old dillemma: 'To go to work or not to go to work?' 

Thats why being in town at a pub in the late morning is good because then you can rush to work

Meh..
Not much of a loss I think bigdunc.

I don't function in any capacity at 6.30am so will be reading the re-caps lol

Is that the one against Slovakia? On Tuesday 15th June?

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

http://www.gaylordhotels.com/images/texan-dining-station-large.jpg this would do nicely

I lold at the gaylord pubs name.

at least at the four kings if one TV craps out, you have 69 other ones to look at.

Due to the logistics of the stag do I was on, I ended up watching the game at the Cambridge, literally you could smell the atmosphere. Decent crowd in without been heaving, quite a few nix jerseys, and a few chants went up. They turned their music off and turned the commentary up for the game, with one big projected screen at the south end of the bar.

So other than the sh*t beer, feral derros constantly reeking the place out with grog bog farts, absolutely munted cricket fans, oh the (he notorious (lecherous) "famous" nz cricket fan was the table beside us, munted teens getting even more munted before hitting courtenay it sounds just like the sports bar you're after monkeyfish.

Oh, and I got interviewed by Radio NZ!

man you guys are so 12 or maybe even 8 with your "gay" snort giggle hehe

"Mate, We purposely didn�t have and don�t want a big screen for a number of reasons. Firstly the quality of picture from a projector is terrible. LCD and Plasma is so much better it doesn�t compare. Secondly, we dont want just one focal point of the bar. Having so many screens more areas where punters can enjoy their own screen in their own area. We have purposely tried to break away from the typical Kiwi sports bar. Im sorry you dont like it. but you are the minority."

This was my first post on the subject. It clearly states the TWO reasons, so telling me i have changed my tune is incorrect. Secondly, you have put a link to a picture not a photo of a REAL bar. I hate to burst your bubble but that TV probably isint real, Its a drawing. You dont get that quality from LCD or plasma let alone a projector.... Oh and it would be difficult to bend any kind of screen around like that and get good quality. I know, why dont you go and buy some Crayons and draw some nice pictures like that for yourself and leave the tough stuff to us. Why dont we agree to disagree and leave it at that bigdunc2010-03-15 19:23:09

no man, it's as real as can be. It's just a question of money. It's designed by a professional multimedia company called Barco, they do everything from bars right up to Times Square advertising displays and the London Olympics 2012.

can you honestly say you didnt atleast smirk when you read the name?

 

 

seeing as you guys are so fascinated with the Gaylord Hotel, here's another photo for your viewing pleasure

monkeyfish2010-03-15 19:45:53

it didn't even register as anything other than a poncy olde englishe name that once was common and now is not - prob no longer common due to the fact that some 12yr olds (mental age) smirk cause the thought of 2 guys bumping uglies makes them so uncomfortable they unconsciously cross their legs and squirm and nervous giggle ensue

and now for the money shot... note that the screen has the option of being configured for multiple channels, as shown here, or for full screen mode, as in the other picture which I supposedly drew with my crayons.

I thought that you agreed to drop it........ but since you cant, The pictures you have are photoshopped in. It is very clear. You are making your self look stupid mate. You are new to the forum so let  me give you some advice...... Calm down and stop trying to push your point. We get it so leave it be. bigdunc2010-03-15 20:08:18

dont get me wrong id watch sport there given the chance. they look like they got some fancy ass seats

dude, I agreed to move on because I was offering you an olive branch. Go back through all the posts, at no point have I disrespected you while meanwhile you have been giving me sh*t. What difference does it make if I am new to the forum? You are acting like a complete twat. You accused me of lying, got it wrong, and now you are not man enough to admit it. Here is the link to the barco website, anyone can go there and see the photos of the screens they installed at Gaylord.

Sorry mate, you have lost me there. At what point did I say that you have lied?

I mean you said that the pictures are not real. They are real.
