Boozers on Saturday in Cardiff

[Barnesy_10]

I guess many on here are going to get down there Friday night and drinking early on Saturday, but I am getting the Triangle Travel train on Saturday morning and I think it gets to Cardiff around 12pm-ish...

 

are plans being made for a meet up in a particular pub? Gonna be on my own and don't really wanna be

My train back is at 6:45pish so not much time for boozing afterwards

Going by reports from previous years the train station is going to be pandemonium.

 

Are we drinking in the same place btw ? As I don't know what I'm doing yet regarding boozers.

There's a boozer that we have used for previous visits, I'll make sure it's being used again but I'm sure there will be a thread on it very shortly.

Dunno, I've never gone by train. I've always gone by car or coach to Cardiff.

[Big E]

The City Arms, right by the ground, will be the main congregation point as usual I expect. Footys, The Raffatollah, and flag/scarf trolley burnings are all on the schedule

 

Gonna be ace!

 

[jon_hall]

We'll be drinking cans from the offie outside the City Arms, attempting not to get hit by one of about fifty footballs.

Think The City Arms is favourite.

 

The station is right by the ground - a 2 minute walk.

you are correct sir

[New York Red]

If any of you happen to be there the night before, I'd recommend avoiding the town center and going down the bay near the St. Davids Hotel. I promise you it will be absolutely superb there. Go to the Salt Bar or any of the other bars down there. It will be really cranking there.

 

As for the day of the game, it will be absolutely mad at the City Arms. You can also try the Queens Vaults on Westgate Street, the Old Arcade on Church Street, any of the bars in the Old Brewery off St. Mary's Street and Caroline Street, and come to think of it, a bunch of them on St. Mary's Street are fine too (the Walkabout, the Goat Major).

 

The Neville isn't a bad call either if you want to avoid the bedlam near the stadium, but that is about a 10 minute walk to the stadium and a hard core Cardiff City hangout. A quieter and more civil bet is any of the pubs on Cathedral Road, which is where some of you will be staying -- the Beverly or the Half Way.

 

Try the takeaway curries on Caroline Street also. They are legendary.

2 minutes! Aye, if you are one of the roly polys. 32.8 seconds is nearer the actualite, wall to wall, like!

There's an even nearer one. In fact two. One in the grounds of the station (regular prices) and a big Spar on the road adjacent to the station.

Aye, get a cab sorted to pick us up from the hotel about 10.30 I reckon, should be in the pub about 11 and then, weather permitting, outside playing footy and making regular visits to the offie nce the pub gets rammed (about 5 past 11).

[Big E]

If it's anything like previous finals, the City Arms will be busy Friday night too.

Kev, anyone? will the train have a no ale policy in place for the trip. Wouldn't want to get there with me crate only for some snotty guard to benefit from it. Large bottle of coke and JD..!!!

About a 15-20 miles taxi ride then mate. It's worth the ride though.
