Preferred Drinking establishment??

Preferred Drinking establishment??

Hi - This article states there is a preferred drinking establishement for yellow fever - Which pub is it? It would be great to find out where to head on away match days to cheer on the lads.

If it hasn't been chosen what place do people think we should be going to for the games. Not keen on some big impersonal sports bar. Place with a big screen where we can ramp up a bit of atmosphere I say! Any suggestions?

Cheers Richard

We haven't finalised one yet. We asked on the forum a while back for suggestions..

Feathers...

Occi - I'm a VIP member and the breakfasts are great

It needs to be somewhere close to the stadium, BUT has to be a place we can make a lot of noise while watching games on the big screen! Somewhere where WE have preference over rugby! It also needs to be somewhere that isn't seen as a "Old Boys" pub, like the Occi. I'm 19 and know that its not a good place to go for young guys.

the pub in johnsonville, walked past it lastnite it was empty. good times

is there? the one on broderick road just down from videoezy

That's a good thing though... I mean if the boys are away on a Friday night, nowhere in Courtney is going to showing the game instead of a DJ to keep the general punters amused.

At least somewhere like the feathers is likely to be happy to establish a partnership with the club and supporters groups and make it feel like our home pub...  Downstairs at the Dog and Bone might be an option too.

Jays is round the corner as well as some other bar I've never been to. The one you walked past has the pokies out the back - so you don't see them from the street.

It'd be good to have a place that still requires a 5-10 minute walk tot he stadium, so we can fill the streets with flags etc. .  .on the way to the game in a big mob.

I drink alone in the Downtown Local, and haven't been stabbed yet.  Maybe I could ask them if they would do a deal for us, where we drink in their bar, and they organise the street-kids outside not to stab us?

Where's that Cannons Creek

Much I like the bars in J/ville , I don't think that the train system could cope with the numbers to get to the stadium ,it really would be logical to be close to the venue,

Yea KK, the train couldn't cope but for away games it's an ideal location to watch on TV.

Alright for Johnsonville folks, but somewhere in town means everyone can train in for away matches.

stink guys u lot are, now im gonna have to train in from jville, so so inconvenient

Thistle it is then

Thistle aint a bad suggestion. Close to the rail and has a fair amount of room.

Excuse my silliness but where is the Thistle???

No 3, Mulgrave Street, about 300 m north of the railway station. phil_style2007-04-19 09:23:58

It's not a badpub - quite good up on the roof in a nice evening after a game.

How about we try the feathers for the first televised game then have a vote online based on their ability to supply ongoing guaranteed priority for the beautiful game on TV / cheap beer / specials on match days / and perhaps some pickled onions and cheese blocks on sticks at half time??

Seems only fair to let them know the strict criteria they are being measured against - I'll give them a call and let you know how I get on

If the feathers don't step up to the mark - onto the next establishment and another online vote!!

PHHHEEEEOOOOOONIXXXXX!!

Leave it for a little while Rich.  I think there might be some things going on behind the scenes...

No probs - Look forward to the official announcement

I will be at the Downtown local by myself - you are all welcome to come down.

How bout Courtney Arms, miles away but always excellent for watching the football (go Liverpool!)

Now the draw has been released, we can get a few options for you guys/girls and see what is popular. Plenty of time.

Where is the Downtown?

hey guys, not sure if this has been raised but was wondering if anyone from the Yellow fever has talked with some Pubs close to the Stadium about hosting the fans on game day. some sort of incentive ie show your season pass and get $1 or $2 off a pint would be grand.

Plus I am sure that the pubs would love the extra cash on a sat night/sunday afternoon when it is fairly dead in those pubs anyway.

Anyone got any favourites? The staidum bar might be a tad too small so I think Trax would be the go

your thoughts?

I'm going to revive this thread, just because a few of the newer members to the forums have been asking some of the questions that have been covered in here. I hope that is OK with the moderators? Perhaps it could be stickied? phil_style2007-04-26 19:28:41
