THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR - SOUTH WALES PUB MEET FRIDAY 21/12/2012

Oh, come all ye faithful (and those who only go along when a team is on a good run )

Apologies for the super-advanced notice, but there are only 133 days and some hours to go and people do get ‘booked’ up around Christmas

Ospreys & Dragons, your teams are not playing in this bunch of fixtures so get on over to Da ‘Diff and meet up with some 606 regs for a pint or several – it is the season of goodwill to all men after all, even Turks

The Old Arcade ? City Arms ? The Gatekeeper ? The Westgate (scene of an epic European weekend for the HEC and Amlin finals 2011) – any other ideas ?

You can even go and watch a game - BLUES v SCARLETS, KO 19:05

I'll be more than happy to attend this. Well up for a visit to the rugby too, but we'll have to get tickets in early for that.

Be good to see you again big fella. As soon as the tickets go on sale I'll be all over it

Have a great time all those who are going, and I urge people to do so.


The London meet ups are a great gas, with people from different countries, and supporting different teams, all having a good time.



:Peroni: for Penfro.

Count me in!

yeap i'm in

OK boys & girls, if you are going to come along AND go to the game, please let me know ASAP as tickets for the game are now on sale - HERE

"The team will be aiming to 'Turn Black Friday Blue' on Friday 21 December when the Blues take on the Scarlets in the last match before Christmas. Tickets for these Category A matches are priced at £22 for adults in the Central Seating area and £18 on the Terrace."

Should hold it in SOLO bar, haven't been there yet but apparently it's cheap drinks and run by people involved with the blues - maybe the guy who does the announcements (Not sure on that one)?

gcBlues - is that in what used to be the old 'Horse and Groom' ?

I'll have a ticket for the match if I can, Pete!

sorry, I'll be busy then.

Not wanting to be a tool (but I am going to be) Xmas day is only 88 Days and a few hours (i keep a count down on the board at work to p1%$ people off come the start of August), so this match is even closer than that!

Crap, forgot to say I won't be able to make it

No idea, it's on womanby street and used to be known as Cougar Lounge!

Yep - that'll be the old Horse & Groom


If anyone wants to come along AND go to the game please let me know by October 10th as tickets for the game are now on sale

Where Solo is now (next to the Moon Club on Womanby St, opposite the Welsh club) has been loads of different bars, seems to change lots of times. I've been in there twice (enticed in by people handing out flyers with drinks offers) and sorry to say but there's been a max of 2 people in there both times I've been, it looks a little run down for a new club and the music wasn't too good either.

I'm up for this though, as it sounds like the place could be full of 606v2ers (mercy what have they let themselves in for!!!) and is only a short trip into town for me. I should be going to the game, but will confirm by the 10th.

Cheers

Just a reminder. Let me know if you want tickets for the game

Pete - I'll defo come out for a drinkie.

P.S I'll have a ticket if there's one going too....with the Blues supporters if you don't mind

P.P.S I'm up for The Westgate - it's only down the road from the CAP.

Sorry I'll be at Ravers (hopefully) watching Ulster stuff the Leinstermen... Have a good one though!

Pete,

will be at Scotstoun for the Warriors v Embra 1872 game. Enjoy the Brains anyhoo mate !

Unfortunately I have been forced to move to the new forest England.

Though the idea of this twinned with the derby at Cardiff arms park

Yes, I should've thought of her in advance probably and thanks a lot Penfro. Legend

Diolch yr fawr Penfro! I haven't watched any game from the North Terrace before, there's exciting...

Two questions....

If anyone else wants to join us for a few beverages please feel free, we're a right mix - "T"Ospreys fans (Me & Cari) , Dragons (Rev and Luckless), Scarlets (herself and friends) and even Gloucester (Prop)

And a kind of Glasgow fan (Mrs R) I guess, though she is a pretty regular attendee down Dave Parade.

Nice one Penfro. I've just told her to make sure she's off, so she can make the game for sure.

Just a minor addition there...

Guess MrsProp should pick a team soon!!

I'd have thought Gloucester was compulsory isn't it?

If she knows nothing Bout rugby then the Blues are the perfect choice...

Sorry, can't make it, Christmas bash HERE

Bore da pawb, just to confirm for the regs attending the Blues v Scarlets, the meeting place is THE WESTGATE

What sort of time are we thinking?

Just saw this thread, I am actually in south wales on the 21st but just have to check if I havn't got another party on this friday. If not I'll be there with bells on...

Little question though do I have to go to the Blues game, I tend to get very angry while inside the arms park and my doctor advises against it!

The more the merrier, Bluesman, whether you come to the game or not!

Ah, The Westgate. I used to go in there quite a lot when I lived in Cardiff.

Nice ales.
