Guest whitey_03 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 just wanted to know if any regular City home supporters could give me a guide in how to have the best possible day out at a City home game. Me and a few lads are coming down from Scotland to watch our mate Lee play against Oldham. So we are looking for a few tips to get the best out of our trip!! If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Like where to go before/after/nightlife etc. Cheers Rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Get yourself booked up in the The Marriot. Kinda tastefull and they turn a blind eye to female "guests" coming back with you on a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitey_03 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 sounds good to me, are the ladies in bristol nice on the eye then ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Your pre-match pub has got to be the Wedlocks. It's right opposite the ground to so easy to find. The Rising Sun is also a good place to start. Nightlife wise the City Centre's always a safe bet, but if you fancy something a little different from your average city crowd, Whiteladies Road in Clifton is my personal favourite which is also chocca with loads of fit women.

Guest Bootylicious Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 For your night out, all depends on what music you like. I usually start on Corn Street, which has lots of bars and a club called Walkabout which is usually pretty good. Then head for Reflex (on road parallel to Corn St) which is a brilliant 80's bar/club. Or The Works, which is a club with a variety of music. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 The Works is full of Pikeys. Go in Mckluskys (is it still there) Packed on a saturday and the people in there have all left school, unlike most bristol nightspots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Check out the Harbourside for truely massive (yet still rammed!) bars, and as I said, avoid the works like the plague, bad atmosphere always trouble due to overly young people and too much lager combined. I would suggest either 'The Dojo Lounge' on Park Row (Funky, Deep House) or if you're not into that sort of music then 'The Station' in the Centre on Silver Street (music varies but always good), or for cheesy music with 'loose' women 'The Academy' in Frogmore Street. What ever you decide I'm sure you'll have a great time, Bristol rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Mcluskys closed down last week. My personal recommendation would be Walkabout on Corn St or for something a bit different try 'The Fez' after all its good enough for our future king (Prince William).

Guest whitey_03 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 sounds like theres a fair amount of different scenes. Sounds like the Scottish boys will love Bristol. Hopefully see a few of you guys out and out, might even buy a few of you a pint for your suggestions!! Whats the chances do you think of City still being on this amazing run by the time we get there!! By the way hows the talent down there anyway??

Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Talent not too bad. I would expect you to fair well with the ladies as after all they like something different (thats if they can understand you). You know what its like when you goto another City. Whats Edinburgh like for the ladies as I'm off there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whitey_03 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Edinburgh is ok for talent, to be honest Glasgow is much better mate!! Sounds like a good trip alround in store for us then!!

Guest Grannyjoy Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hey! Lee Miller is a happily engeged young man.

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 How old are you lot then? I've been looking for an excuse to get into town on a night for ages and this would be a perfect excuse.

Guest whitey_03 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 all the boys range from 19-21, i think theres about 8 of us coming down!! We are all up for a laugh, and nights out usually end up memorable!! Would be good to meet up with a few of you guys for the game, introduce us into supporting City, learning the songs etc!!

Guest east_dundry_red Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 The works is a quality place. No trouble and always a good laugh. though if you wnat a city place then go to chicargo rock. The dj is a city fan along with most of the bar staff and punters. And always good. If your there on a sat nite thats when the city fan dj (sean) is in and if you ask he will play wurzels for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whitey_03 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 How are you guys getting down here? Plane on the Saturday morning, or train on the Friday? we are getting a plane down on the Friday night, staying in a hotel for the Friday and Saturday night then flying back up to Scotland on the Sunday!! I was telling the other boys about the East End, and what suggestions have popped up on this and we are all very excited, just cant wait for the change of scenery and different chicks!! Lita for Congo, I think we might try that tactic and sneak into the Players Lounge!! And city slicker, ill mention to Lee to wave into the East End then, hopefully he will score and celebrate infront of it!! Then you'll see our Scottish flags flying to the chants of " Theres only one Lee Miller !!! " :Costumed19: Hows the CIDER down there boys?? :Party3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Chris Posted February 25, 2004 Admin Share Posted February 25, 2004 There are quite a few budget Travel Inn type hotels in the City. If you're stuck for somewhere to stay you could always try the Alpha Hotel on Coronation Rd near the ground, voted 'worst hotel in Britain' on BBC1.

Guest whitey_03 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I think they might try the Marriot that WillsBridgeRed suggested thanks!! Might pop into the Alpha to see if its as bad as it was made out on that show!! Is it cheap for drink down there, because we are expecting to drink alot i presume, and need 2 figure out how much beer tokens we will need to bring! :Party12: :Party12: :Party12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 You'll be luck to get drinks (pints) for under £2.50 if you drink Stella your looking more at £2.80. if you decide to go in the Works (which I wouldn't) expect to pay £3.50 for a pint. If you want a cheap drink try the commercial rooms on Corn st they are a weatherspoons pub and always have offers on it not a bad place to start for that reason and its always packed but it doesn't play music.

Guest whitey_03 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 cheers mr Snufflelufagus!! I can see us having a very expensive weekend, but well worth it!!

Guest Thornbury Ciderhead Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Whitey_03 - Are you Falkirk fans or just friends of "Windy"?? I hope you enjoy your weekend in Brizzle & victory for your new adopted club My brother lives in Whitburn nr Livingstone - when he first moved there he told the locals he'd get them some cider. "Nah - thats a womans drink!!" he was told. The lasses drink woodpecker and iron bru. Each time he comes down he has to take back proper farmhouse scrumpy - they love it - a proper mans drink. :Party3: :Party3: :Party3: :Party3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres not a game goes by when we dont rush to a pub/bookies to check the Brsitol score, and of course to see if Lee has scored. We go where Lee( Windy ) goes. ( so i guess we go where the wind takes us ) I'm sure we will enjoy our weekend in Brizzle and of course will except nothing less than an victory from my new adopted team!! The women are of a special breed up here, some of them are on the pints non stop!! But I'm sure we will have a little tipple of youe farmhouse scrumpy!! Whitburn isnt fair from where we are, 20 minutes or so!! I keep saying it but, the most post that are posted on this thread, the more I'm getting excited about coming down there!! Lets just hope Oldham wont spoil our day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
