Hoping that there is an organized venue to watch.

Thank god for this comment, as I have been trying to work out all day what this thread was about - where Peter Dunne was going to watch the game?  watching the game in a toilet?

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Champions sports bar on george st was always a decent place to go towatch footie, but that has now closed and been replaced by Fever (quite appropriate?), a disco bar, with a lit-up dance floor (circa Saturday Night Fever).

Hehe, could still be a fun place to watch the game ;)

It will be a fun place to watch something don't know about football though!!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

Find out who sponsors the football clubs and go and hit them up.  I know Roslyn have been sponsored by the black dog (?) and Raphaels.

The problem is finding a bar that has multiple sky decoders to show differant channels or a bar that is willing to forgo rugby on the big screan for Football.

Raphaels has closed, I believe.

Black Dog may be an option, but I've never watched anything there, only had a meal (it's quite a "posh" place).

Hard to think of other options. Standard student fare like Cook, Albies etc. Or maybe a nicer place closer to the octagon. But no obvious candidates that I can think of.


Haha, only time I've been to Fever, watched a game of rugby on the big screen while the ladies were dancing. Had a look at the dance floor and there was a 40 year old whale pole-dancing :)

Duke of Wellington is probably the best suggestion so far.. Thought about Nellies in Mosgiel or Cock n Bull in Sth Dunedin
It would be great if there was some atmosphere when watching the games.. Bit boring sitting at home watching..

Perhaps someone should ring a few bars and get one on board . ..   use the backbencher as an example to convince them!

Definitely the best suggestion. Beer's not cheap, but it's top quality brew and big glasses too ;) Nice wee place. Could be worth following up...

On this topic, how many Phoenix fans live in Dunners and would go to a good, supportive venue regularly if we had the numbers?

To be honest, I don't think I'd be there every week myself, probably every second or third.

Well, I'd be fairly keen.

I work near the Duke, so I might wander by and see if it's a possibility.
