Doesn't seem like you have to actually buy a meal, they just need to provide a menu.

I just asked whether Craft is open on Sunday. Was told that they are ONLY open for dining.

Hope that's not the case for all, otherwise I may have to peruse the menu for quite a period of time!

I didn't ask too many questions as I don't drink but I did ask what he meant and was told something like you have can only drink with your meal or something. As Patrick said.

Yet another master piece of scheduling by the FFA accepted by the club.You do really begin to wonder if they have any idea of who they should be targeting when it comes to game times etc.

Sometimes you just shake your head and go WTF.

Apparently up to restaurant owners discretion that you have to buy a meal.. but they will make you buy a meal because it makes more money for them - note it only talks about the premises operating as a restaurant not that all guests must be eating meals

Was working on a cunning plan to come down for the game. However, as my visits usually involve drinking copious amounts of alcohol, I'm somewhat concerned.

Simple question, can I get shitfaced before, during and after the game (should I feel the urge to do so)?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I can share a bottle of Sherry with you under a Motorway bridge if the unthinkable happens and everything except MacDonalds is closed!

My parents are down for the game, so I had to sit them down last night and explain that on Sunday I will not be the mature, well rounded (literally), middle aged son that they know and love.  Instead I will be some kind of stumbling man/child, bringing shame on myself and my whole family, and if they see me after half-time they are better off pretending that they have never met me.  They were very proud.

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

On another note, has anyone checked with Security to see if Spoons are allowed?
