1st Lions Test - Saturday 22nd June

Zippy1991

Hi Guys,

Going to watch this game somewhere near Balham/Clapham on Saturday.
I'm on my own so wondered if anyone wanted to meet up and cheer on the Lions against the Australians?
I was thinking of the Alexandria (sp?) opposite Clapham Common tube station.
If anyone has any better suggestions please go ahead. I'm easy

Anyway, game kicks off at 11am was gonna try and get in there from about 10.30am. Post in here if interested!!

Would normally but I'm out Friday night so I'll likey be hanging and wont move from the house. Dont want to say yes and not show up. If I'm feeling up for it that morning I'll check to see if you are still planning to go.

Not really a fan of the Alexandria either, have you though about the bedford or the Regent? The regent is the best by far imo.

Zippy1991

Yeah, It's actually easier for me as I live off Bedford hill.
Don't think the Bedford have Sky Sports though.

I'll go to the Regent if you fancy was just trying to widen the potential scope by suggesting somewhere more central for the Clapham heads.

I do agree re the Alex. however I suspect the atmosphere there would be pretty good, although the Regent is a much superior bar!

I'll update in here on Saturday morning in any event.

I might be up for it. Ill know more tomorrow.

I would be up for this too! Would be good to watch it with a nice crowd.

Zippy1991

Cool
Well, will we decide on a venue tomorrow.
As I say, I'm going along anyway so I'll post in here tomorrow

Was in the Alex for the Reds game. Was grand but they weren't doing breakfasts which was a bit annoying. Though they did allow us to bring in food from a cafe. Watching in an English mate's house tomorrow in the spirit of unity, and so we can start bitching about the Welsh if it all goes wrong.

I'd happily wander down to The Regent if there was enough interest to book a table .

Zippy1991

Cheers for the info on the Alex mate.

I'm thinking the Regent on the basis that they say on their website that they do a breakfast and Bloody Mary

Shall I book a table or shoudl we just rock up, anyone that's interested.

As I said I'm going to head down at around 10.15-10.30 so let me know if you want my number or whatever on a PM?

BrokenArrows

Ok im in.

Yeah, I'd happily go down for a bit of breakfast and to watch the game. I've no idea how busy it'd be for a early game like that though and whether booking a table is necessary.

Will send you a PM.

Ok I'll be in the Regent tomorrow from 10.15-10.30
I'll be the one with the big Irish head on me

BrokenArrows

I just woke up. Oops!

BrokenArrows

caught the second half in my local.

Close call.

Zippy1991

Hey,

Just an update here.
Myself, Dave and helpwanted met up in the Regent.
It was absolutely packed. But decent atmosphere. We probably should have booked a table.
Anyway myself and Dave are both away this weekend but I think helpwanted was on about heading in again this Saturday if there's any interest.

All three of us said we'd be on for the 3rd test in two weeks, which still stands from my end although there was a good few pints on board at that stage. :-)

Good craic meeting up with the lads, seem sound fellas, so the more the merrier welcome I'm sure!
