Food sounds good too, I was going to head to the horseshoe bar if you didnt suggest it. Also I know Sauchiehall Street so I shouldnt be getting lost !

it would be great if you could take lots of pictures and maybe YouTube a vid or two!

if anyone has them take some spare scarves or summat along and rope a few locals into a sing song!

Sounds like it's gonna be a great night guys, have fun and here's to an historic victory for the reds

Okay I'm hearing from a couple of different people that the sports bar on Sauchiehall Street closed last month and that the other sports bar is closed too. Not good.

Mystery as bar shuts up shop | Evening Times; Glasgow (UK) Newspaper | Find Articles at BNET

We may have to come up with a last minute plan for elsewhere - I hear The Hall on Sauchiehall St has a big screen but apparently its a very studenty place, Europa next to Queen Street has several tv's from memory, or we could just go to a regular bar that will have the game on.

Let me know what the general feeling is.

Well as far as I know it was open this Saturday, and I know that Europa has shut down. I'll phone around 2nite to see where it will be on because a lot of places will be showing the Spurs game.

Mr Matthew · 23-08-2010, 17:38

Looks like I was wrong, gonna phone around tonight and see what will work!!!

Colmeister · 23-08-2010, 17:52

Yeah after I sent the message I came across saying Europa was bought over this week (Weatherspoons).

What's going on? A football-daft city and no place to watch it!!!

Is the "Sally Ann" still open on London road Colmeister? I stayed there a few times in the early 70's when we oiled up the far East boats in GK5 dock.
The place was a scream, I even saw one bloke slagging off an empty chair because it had made him forget his carrier bag.
That was in the days when 10PM was closing time.
One pub near The Cross rang a fire bell at 9.55 and that cleared the place because it was inside near the bar and very noisy. At 10PM the shutters were up over the windows and all the alkies were laid in the gutter.

It will be on somewere just got to find out where.

Nickelson · 23-08-2010, 19:06

If you are in concrete town just get the train into Queen Street Station. We could all meet up there.

As we will be in the colours we will be easy to spot.

I live less than 50yrds from Queen St station, so that sounds perfect. Just phoned up Walkabout and they are showing the game, so have booked a booth at 7ish and checked it's ok to were Accrington shirts so it's on!!! Can't wait, come on Stanley

Colmeister · 23-08-2010, 19:37

Gremlin - Can honestly say I've never even heard of the Sally Ann. Tried a couple of google searches to see if it was still open but nothing doing, so I'm guessing it must be shut. As it was open in the 70's, and since I'm at my parents tomorrow (not trying to make you feel old here, honest), I'll ask them about it. Incidentally, outstanding story about the empty chair - certainly seems like a typical Glasgow pub! ;-)

Re Wed night, meeting at Queen St might not be a bad idea - though I have to confess I'll be letting the side down as I dont as yet own an Accy top - this will of course be rectified in due course as I'm planning on going to a couple of games again this season. Will bring my scarf though!

Yeeeeeehhhhhhhhaaaaaa ya dancer sorted a HD pub as well.

I know were it is but what about Nickleson and Colmeister?

Nickelson · 23-08-2010, 19:38

either is fine im actually out of Cumbernauld centre, so a bus to Buchcanan St. is probably best for me. Is this the Walkabout near to Sauchiehall St. If so I actually know where it is.
