Exiled in Texas Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Just spent 4 days in Brisbane, and one more to go. Watched the QPR game over lunch in one the restaurants just up from Pig and Whistle. Had a few beers in Irsh Murpheys and in Gilhooleys....had a few cultured beers in the Belgian Cafe and also in the Bavarian Beer Cafe on the river. Not a bad town but a bit bland in the evenings....would hate to see what it's like a night when there was no rugby on. Even met up with a mate from Sunderland who I used to work with in Cale Cross House....hadn't seen him in 20 years, but had to rib him about Gyan leaving.

TRC Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Anyone know anywhere in Melbourne that will show the Floyd Mayweather fight? Boxing is non existent over here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sydneycove Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Anyone know anywhere in Melbourne that will show the Floyd Mayweather fight? Boxing is non existent over here Crown is your best bet mate. Other than that try looking for a Phillipino club/RSL/pub those guys love boxing.

TRC Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Crown doesn't show boxing. For some ridiculous reason. Went down for the Khan fight the other month and they said they didnt show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belgian Cafe has got to be one of the most overpriced bars anywhere. It's almost banks of the Seine prices for beer in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison is better than Normanby for me. I'm thinking about the Pig n Whistle on Saturday, have other plans earlier in the night so might not make it in though.

TRC Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Found a place to watch the boxing, one bar in Melbourne Central has it, that is all in the CBD, a few bars in the suburbs have it. Crazy that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcmagpies Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'll be in Melbourne for the Blackburn game. Just checked on Foxtel, the game will be available as viewer's choice. Any Melbourne based fans going to be watching somewhere in the city? RKO, Smudgers, any others? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If I'm watching it I will be watching it down at The Sherlock Holmes on Collins, official supporters bar, although only 2 of us turned up for the Villa game although there were 5 of us in the place. Despite closing the bar at the end of the first half they let us watch the rest of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
