It will be interesting to see what way the Irish numbers are. I'd say the executive will get a fright when they see how few Irish make the trip.

I can only imagine the chaos (but mighty craic) in O'Neills.
|
|
By:
O neills will be absolutely thronged. went there last yr on sat for Ireland New zealand rugby and it was crazy. my advice woulde be to leave track before the last if you have no financial interest and get in there asap
|
|
By:
Stop shouting :(
|
|
By:
Id say Oneills will be madness for the game. Id say if you want to actually watch the game a quieter spot might be in order. Tailors just off the high street might not be a bad spot to watch a game
|
|
By:
i wont go to oneills either..lots of better places to watch it..oneills will be full of people half cut
|
|
By:
ah sure o'neills is great craic but you could only take so much of it.
|
|
By:
will be there lads, looking forward to it
We were also wondering about spot to watch game |
|
By:
Flying from Cork on Thursday. Haven't missed one since Rooster Booster won the Greatwood. A great weekend, although this may be my last trip for a while:(
For anyone interested, just around the corner from Taylors ( I think I have the location right anyway - very near the Big Sleep?) there's a greasy spoon called Del Boy's. It's in a basement with only about 5/6 tables. Jesus, there's some feed in there for £6. I made a show of myself last year. It's very rough and ready but everything apart from the tomatoes is spot on. O'Neills is second only to the now defunct Dawn Run in the "Biggest S*ithole in the Town" stakes. The bar inside the door and to the right in the Queen's is a short head third. |
|
By:
where would you recommend CM? Is there anywhere in gloucester?
|
|
By:
Tailors is a good option if you want a proper look at the game. Plenty of screens and certainly less mayhem than O'Neill's (it may be a sh*thole but it still is mighty craic if you have the energy for it and I find the bar staff a lot sounder than some of the peacocks in Tailors).
|
|
By:
I've never been to Gloucester ATC, so I couldn't tell ya.
Tailors is probably your best bet. Plenty of taxi's pulling up outside the Queens, which is nearby, which is handy. To be honest I never go too mad when I'm over so wouldn't have frequented the vast majority of the pubs (I'm getting old!). Staying out by the digs at the Golden Valley roundabout would suit me if it was on somewhere. Sorting out the Greatwood would appeal more to me. |

If you want nightlife, avoid Cheltenham. The place is a kip.
