Thought I'd revive this one and focus on the more social side of footy.
What are your favourite pubs to swing past before a game?
For the MCG for mine it is always the Cricketers and sometimes the Royal.
Cricketers is a delight to visit when playing the Tigers...their supporters pack the joint out even after they lose to us. ;D
The Royal is great and has fantastic hospitality. ;)
Etihad Stadium it is usually a bit of a pain to go past a pub...but the Sherlock Holmes or Royal Melbourne Hotel is usually my go.
Sherlock Holmes tends to be a little bit quieter being underground and easier/quicker to get a beer. Royal Melbourne Hotel is a little bit closer. Of course the other alternative is hit up the Locker Room Bar inside Etihad and be robbed in broad daylight.
What are your preferences in pubs before a big game?
The Pineapple hotel in Brisbane, a good feed and usually plenty of Blues fans for Carlton games !!
The lounge room or the pool room, both located at my house :P
Moved this thread to the correct forum.
Gozza, no issue with the content or discussion (personally, I like the Cricketer's Arms in Melbourne and the Chalk Hotel in Brisbane), but please stick new threads in the right place.
Always the Royal... :P before any MCG Game
Always the Royal... :P before any MCG Game

Once I went off to the footy with all this oil on my face. ;D
