Away game... No excuse not to turn up at The Alexandria hotel for a few beers...

[reigning premier]

I go all the time and thats not been my experience. Perhaps its just you.

Agree.... Most people there on game night are actually there to watch the footy....

Accepting that it is wrong to drink and drive is a good enough excuse (reason) not to turn up at said venue for a few beers.

I think it is fine to drink and drive if you have done an advanced driving course.

I am pretty sure that is the law in NSW

Same, niceish pub, nice food, good to watch footy.

I think i am the only yuppie who goes there, and i am not going, so all good

Do they usually serve truffles or calamati olives? Or only if you ring in advance.

And accepting that it is wrong to watch the footy without a beverage, I concur, best you stay at home.

I will be at home, but have a cheeky bottle of red waiting to be decanted for an evenings enjoyment - footy, wine & cheese - does it get any better?

I had to give up the red wine and go back to beers.... Throwing a can at the TV is far less damaging than a bottle of red....

I dont care about the Teve, if I throw a bottle at that - I get a new teve (I can fill in a claim form to make it sound like an accident!!!) but I do drink the wine out of a plastic cup, not only to have the authentic "im at the footy so no glass" feeling, but also I dont want to break the good wine glasses whilst in a rage!

Not seen you there ever on a Saturday night Erin. Funny that.

The crowd during the day is quite different. It isn't filled & those who go are generally just footy people & it is easier to watch the game without others distracting you all the time.
