StuRomseySaint Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 so far i dont think any pubs are being forced to close...? Makes sense for all pubs to be open. Much easier to police than 32,000 people wandering round town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany S Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 Yeah I was in there before the Stockport game, good little boozer - cheap beer, pool and sky sports...think thats where i'll get wet inside. Anyone know when the Old Farmhouse is opening?? I will find this out later, is my local and forgot to ask when I was in there this saturday. Northam Club is definately opening - members are allowed in but cannot sign anyone in. Other Saints fans can buy tickets for entry and these are available at the next home games prior to the Portsmyth game. There is always plenty of room in there, it is very close to the ground, a large smoking area and cheap burgers, chips and hotdogs are available. Like Stu says, most pubs are going to open aren't they? They stand to make plenty of money, and the whole myth about pubs closing their doors and all kinds of trouble in pubs is mostly pie in the sky. If there is going to be any bother on the day, then it is hardly going to be right slap bang in the middle of town or in a busy pub. It will be off the beaten track.

darren1 Posted 3 February, 2010 Share Posted 3 February, 2010 You have not ONCE in the last nine years bought a ticket using a credit/debit card? Now you mention it I'll have to check. I work a lot of weekends so I usually tell me mate who lives across the road if I can go and he nips across and gets if for me to save a trip into town. I then meet him in the pub, give him the cash and bob's your uncle lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather Posted 4 February, 2010 Share Posted 4 February, 2010 Has anyone actually heard of any pubs being closed or are we all just speculating? I have no doubt that the old bill will close some pubs in the city centre, Yate's etc and pubs will be closed for a few hours after the game aswell until after alll the inbreds have gone back to their caravan park.

Wax Posted 8 February, 2010 Share Posted 8 February, 2010 Does anyone have any more news on pubs opening before and after the Skates game and if SMS will be selling beer beforehand and at HT? I'll be coming down on the train from Basingrad so weighing up the idea of having a few in the local Weatherspoons here first to guarantee an early beer buzz before the game but not relishing the thought of none afterwards if everywhere is shut!

saintchris23 Posted 9 February, 2010 Share Posted 9 February, 2010 i just heard that the maple is opening at 9am?? can someone confirm please? Indeed it is, but expect a few old boys in there that'll be looking for trouble though. Only what I've been told by a few of the said bunch!

Andy_Porter Posted 10 February, 2010 Share Posted 10 February, 2010 (edited) Spoke to the bloke who run's the varsity last night and apparently all the pubs in city centre can open when they want but aren't allowed to serve beer until 10.30 then they have to all close their doors at 2.30 for an hour or so. Going to probably drink at the bright water in Shirley with all the pikeys at 9 and get a taxi into town just after 10.

Signs round the Alex said much the same...which means a mad dash from the game to the pub for half two. Not sure it's possible to be honest!

Had to struggle to get served. Managed to get a good gap to drink in over by the quiz machine, however. Usually stand at the bar on Saturdays and get in everyone's way.
