There's usually a few of us about. I'll be there about an hour before kick-off by the small bar between terraces. As is tradition.

awec

Does that bar owned by Heaslip etc open this weekend?

Crash

The bridge? according to their facebook it opens tomorrow.

Also of note, the Lansdowne (down from Slatterys) is in the middle of renovations into a new pub called "The Old Spot" which could be good.

.ak

Wouldn't mind checking out the Bridge.

copey

I'd be highly interested

awec

The Bridge seems like a good shout. I'll be about for a few I think.

molloyjh

Well it's between me and the RDS so I suppose I could manage that...just to be sociable like...

thomond2006

Ceart go leor

Crash

The bridge it shall be then. Match is 7:35 right?

molloyjh

Yep. I'll just head straight from work myself. Should be there around 5:30-6:00.

awec

Remember the rule that all normal posters must buy any mods in attendance a pint.

Just a reminder for you first-timers.

Crash

Do I get a backlog of pints for all my years of half-assed service?

molloyjh

For the record I'll only be there for 1 today as I've to collect my STH pack and get onto the terrace. Should be in around 5:30-5:45.

Also, if the place is wedged I reserve the right to bail and head straight for the RDS.

awec

Same I might not make it before the game for any depending on how wedged it is as I've also to get my pack etc.

Eponymous

Laighin Pit is gathering at the Horse Show House (they store our banners), so if the Bridge is crammed, there'll be some of us in the HoSho from 5:30ish.

Maybe awek will be bought a pint. It might even be beer.

See ye on the terrace anyway. Got those cola bottles, Molloyjh?

Don't be looking at me for those, I'm just the middle man.

Not from where I'm standing. You can't put that genie back into the bottle.

I'll introduce you to my supplier then, how's about that?

Eponymous

Seems reasonable. I'm drinking tonight (was driving for the last one), but I don't have my hipflask unfortunately.

awec

Not cold enough tonight to warrant a hip flask anyway.

'S'all in the game, yo'.

Crash

Right, homeward bound then out. gotta collect my pack as well so will see how it goes, but i'll put a post up from the bridge reporting jammed-or-not-jammed at least.

molloyjh

Not jammed inside...

Bigger than I remember it - gonna go upstairs to the big drop down screen. Am the guy in the old bank of Scotland white away jersey if anyone's about.

Crash

Alright, need advice lads - north or south terrace?

The other boards guys are in south terrace.

I didn't make it to the pub before the game, might pop over after.

Crash

Cheers - went for south, on the halfway side. Liking this terrace lark so far. Warmer at least

Crash

Might need to move at half time - think I heard the three eejits behind me explaining how Te'os nickname in league was 'the vange'...

The Lost Sheep

Will have to wait and see. We've friends staying with us that weekend. And while I'm sure myself and the male half of the couple who are down would be more than up for it the female halves may not be so much.

Can't, I'm accepting the Nobel Peace Price for finding out a way to solve wars without any death and also how to make make paper cuts hurt 40% less.






.... That's how this works, right?

Harrys on the Green for France vs Ireland was brilliant last year. Bull & Castle was good as well.

That'd be easier than convincing the 2 wives that it'd be a good idea to let the husbands off to the pub in the mid-afternoon. Trust me. I got away with it last year because herself was able to join us. Sadly his wife isn't interested in rugby so that puts a right spanner in the works.

Yep, if I'm doing pints in town for the 6 Nations this year I'll be doing it there. Same table, same bar, same big screen.

London?

My Athlone trip is no longer happening, so I'm on board for whatever's happening. Mulligans? (They have Harp. Swears.)

Podge_irl

Philomena's in London it is.

awec

Somewhere with big screens would be preferable.

dregin

How big is big? You have any suggestions? I don't really mind.
