havanatopia Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I was suggesting that after a long and arduous journey for the 925 fans that shall attend tonight to witness a 1-2 win even though I hope for a 0-4 thumping you all visit a bar that is a purveyor of 50 rums called Revolucion de Cuba on Mappin Street. I am suspicious they will have anything beyond Havana Club, Ron Santiago or Club Varadero and that the rest will be the usual mass produced fayre but it might be worth a visit. A welcome rest after your travails up our delightful motorway network. I had a few more inconsequential remarks in my thread that I cannot begin to re-gurgitate now after a glass and half of .. no not rum... but wine other than to say thank you to our marvellous fans for such tremendous support in what is a 360 miles round trip, more if you visit the bar in question of course or it will feel like it if you over indulge. I do wish OTIB was a little more forgiving and functional than it is. I do really. That is all. Enjoy the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Oh I made myself a cuppa tea and decided to give the rum story another bash.. actually a little more plagiarised i must confess given the lower energy levels. I thought rather interesting none the less.. Why was rum so popular at sea... Fresh water that was stored over a long period of time would become stagnant, so often something would be added to make it more palatable (this includes beer, brandy, wine, etc.). Effectively, the fresh water supply would be a very watered-down alcoholic beverage. After the Royal Navy captured Jamaica in 1655 they had a good foothold on the rum market. Since brandy was mostly a French commodity, the Royal Navy switched their sailor's rations from brandy to rum. Also, the rum trade was a large part of the overall economy in that area and, therefore, pirates would have ready access to it. Since sailors would regularly save up their rum rations and get drunk, the Navy began watering down the beverage as they had with earlier alcohols. By watering rum down it would take many more rations to become inebriated and the ration itself would spoil faster (thus preventing the stockpiling of liquor). Sailors received their ration of a half pint of rum mixed with a quart of water in two parts, before noon and at the end of the day. This concoction became commonly known as grog. In the Royal Navy, some sort of citrus (such as lemon or lime juice) was added to the grog in order to mask the stagnant water. In time, this practice earned the Royal Navy the nickname of "limeys." The practice also helped prevent scurvy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rant over! 2-2 tonight I do believe I read that this is done by the EFL deliberately. Their logic being that these long trips result in the lowest away following, even on a Saturday. So by putting them mid-week you lose less money and inconvenience less supporters. If you had say 3k ready to go to Fulham that may drop to 800 if you make it mid-week. There is some logic there when you think about it I guess. Not good for those who will go regardless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I had a look at their forum and the majority were quite complimentary and think tonight will be no easy task. I'd be happy with a draw or a close loss. Similar feeling to Norwich though I think points will be easier to come by tonight. SW will be in the thick of the playoffs again this year I reckon so again, I'll be more than happy with a point or close loss of the performance is good once again.
