marklaspalmas Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Who's going? Not sure if a TRL meet up is feasible or not. Anyway, if you see two tall blokes in traditional Fev shirts talking in Spanish, say hi to the grey-haired one.

Bleep1673 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 On Las Ramblas, at the end away from the beach, just past McD's is an Aussie bar, maybe RL fans may feel welcome there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

EssexRL Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Well I’ll be wearing my Skolars top. I’m not expecting any one else in Barcelona to be wearing the same so if you see the top - it’s me! i have a bit of an allergy to things like Irish bars outside of Ireland.

Yorkie44 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Still undecided whether to don my York shirt or Catalan shirt, I'm guessing I might not stand out in my Catalan one though . Might just go for a Lokos one to totally confuse any rugby fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzzz65 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Cafe Zurich on Placa Catalunya is a good place. Plenty of seats inside and out and also room to stand. Also Glacier on Placa Reial. Any bar really apart from plastic Irish bars!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyscoot Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We're just playing it by ear. We land at half 9 in the morning. There is a group on facebook recommending places but predictably it's mostly Irish/English bars which I'll be avoiding like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiedean Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 While all the focus will be on how big the crowd is in Barcelona, keep an eye on everyone else's crowds this weekend. Events like this generate publicity, which is of course great. But they also affect footfall everywhere else. My local RU club was down over 50% on attendance and takings when Newcastle Falcons took their game to St James' Park. How will the Summer Bash be hit. Mmmm, Barcelona or Blackpool? Hope I am wrong.

Bleep1673 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Is there a plethora of English bars in Ireland? Ones where it is not obligatory to drink foul tasting black beer, and where you don't go for the craic, just for Crack? Where sitting there looking miserable is compulsory and no-one will talk to you until you open a newspaper or book. Then just as you get used to it, it closes down without warning, usually just after you've paid for another overly expensive round that needed a mortgage advisor to negotiate payments. Pubs where you get looked at strangely if you have an Irish accent, like English do in Irish bars in England, and no one talks about horse racing.

Yes, always a bit depressing when you ask someone if they enjoyed the Catalan trip and they reply: "Yes, amazing. We spent the week on 2-for-1 cocktails watching Sky Sports at Kev's Beach Bar."
