8th December pre match pubs

[Thomsons tackle]

Having never been to an old firm game at Hampden before I'm just wondering what the script will be with pubs in the surrounding area. Will the shawlands pubs be rangers pubs? I'll be getting the train to the game. Trying to get organised well in advance.

 

[Tony75tfc]

Yeah shawlands will be mostly bears

 

[Thomsons tackle]

I've got a mate coming along ticket less. Will church on the hill show the game?

 

[The Canny Man]

Won’t be many papes in Shawlands

 

[Spudgun]

Church on the hill is where I usually go, but it can get really busy.

The recent semi final saw our bus park at different area from usual (we usually park near QP bowling club) and every pub was chock-full, couldn't get in any of them

 

[Kingging]

I find it easier to get a pint in the town centre and catch a bus from Union St to Pollokshaws Road about 2pm ish. Just easier to get to the bar. Then amongst friends walking up to the match

 

[MearnsUnionist]

As close to zero as you can get.

We’ll have nearly half the amount of fans as we did at Hearts. Pubs will be quieter,

 

[Crown_Defender]

Always liked Clockwork for games at Hampden. Not sure if its still the same set up but you had to be there not long after 10 to queue to guarantee getting in. Only ever let a set amount in too so it was busy, but not so that you couldn't move.

 

[S English]

Louden then taxi ?

 

[mayfairblue]

Sweeneys will be full of them.

 

[John Mckillop]

Local bowling club or Masonic within travelling distance would be good bet

 

[yosser hughes]

Sweeneys will be full of them.

georgic will have barriers in there as well although not wearing colours. Granary will also have some

 

[rangers1962]

Louden then taxi ?

They might be running a bus to the game?

 

[CoulibalyLoyal]

Tickets haven’t been posted yet , it defo a 3pm and won’t be changed to 12?

Where are you coming from bud ? I'll be travelling from Yoker to Glasgow Central for the train over to Mount Florida and having a couple of beers at the station on the way.

Glasgow Indoor bowling club is the place to go. No Queing to get in drink prices good. Sash bash and 5mins walk to Hampden. If you can't do this then Ibrox Louden, Sash bash then supporters bus to Hampden

Bowling club is by far the best option. Pubs are rammed.

Good point.

Kick off time is not changing.

Is it easy enough to get into the bowling club? Would you not need to be a member or something?

 

[bluebeak]

No probs. You do pay £1 to get in tho

 

[sregnar]

Obviously still be packed but we’ve less tickets which means less fans around the ground, which means less fans trying to get in the pubs around the ground

 

[Thomsons tackle]

Booked on the Louden bus. Thanks for the advice.

 

[Southside_shug]

As close to zero as you can get.

Changed days when I used to drink in Shawlands four night a week then...

 

[MearnsUnionist]

I was meaning when Rangers are playing at Hampden mate.


The mentally challengeds all congregate around Govanhill, Kings Park etc.

 

[scottmac]

Not pre-match, but will the Bristol be ticket only after the game? Couple of us deciding to stay over in the town and would possibly head across for a couple of pints after the game

 

[Ayrforce1]

Does indoor bowling club allow kids?

 

[kevfromkent]

Ivory Hotel always a good shout, and run by good bears

 

[Hallers]

No probs. You do pay £1 to get in tho

what times it likely to get too busy to get in at?

 

[Crouchy]

I find Hampden fucking shite for drinking pre match.

I hate the place in general. Access, egress and general pre match, it’s crap.

Agreed, we’ve booked in somewhere rather than drinking about there

[kennymac]

Traffic will be hellish, regardless which way he takes you.

 

[Mols 9]

[jonesy8]

normally go to the clockwork but it is always busy as %^*&, need to get there for 11am to get a seat

 

[Wang]

Is that a Celtic leaning pub.


Was in it for the first time the other Saturday after Pollok Juniors game.

Just one before heading elsewhere, usually quite like traditional pubs but couldn’t take to it at all for some reason.
