New Year Old Firm in Belfast

[calikeo 18]

Morning all

Me and a few mates are heading to Belfast for New Year and will be there up until the night of the 2nd.

Now I know that there will be plenty of places in Belfast to watch the game - but does anyone have any recommendations? And where we can have a proper bouncy and not get a kicking!

Never watched an Old Firm game outside of Glasgow - so looking forward to it - and couldn't imagine a better place than Belfast to do it!

Sandy Row Rangers would probly be your best bet or the Rangers club on the Shankill. Where yous staying?

Staying in the Holiday Inn on Ormeau Avenue - just checked the map and it's right round the corner from Sandy Row - so that seems like a decent shout! Cheers

Although I'm a twat and just realised that the Sandy Row Rangers club isn't actually on Sandy Row. In saying that, it's only a couple of miles down the road - so a taxi would be no bother.

Its at the cross between Sandy Row and the Donegal Road, 5/10 minute walk from the Holday Inn.

i thought the sandy row rangers club was the one right across the road from the royal bar, therefore it is on sandy row, watch yourself around ormeau avenue it can be a bit taigy out there.

Cheers for the info guys - none of us are particularly loud mouths or likely to cause bother (suppose it all depends on how drunk I am and the result!) - but always best to stay on the safe side!

The Welders Club is a nice wee spot but I don't know what it would be like for an OF game and who would be there.

The Hatfield on the lower Ormeau road.

Avoid the cromac street/ormeau rd end(heading right out of the hotel door) as there's a lot of t*rriers that way (very close to the markets area which is very very nasty). Also the weatherspoon on bedford street can be dodgy being close to the markets as it is frequented by t*rriers who just cashed their giros. To be safe head for Sandy Row RSC or jump in a taxi and head for East Belfast where any number of pubs/clubs will show it. I'll be heading to the game myself

Aye if you want to wake up in your own pish with your heid kicked in, thats if you dont get eaten alive in the first place

when im over i stay in donegal pass and drink in the hideout, thats not far from where your staying, you could do a lot worse than have a few there, then a safe walk down to the sandy row area
