‘You can bring your pint with you back to your seat in the stadium’
I saw that a couple of years ago when I was in the Aviva twice in a week, the first time for a rugby match when the pints were flowing and a few days later for a soccer match when the bars were closed. That was a bit weird.
Not a fan of having to constantly stand up and sit down while others are wandering to the bar / the jacks tho.
That pretty much sums up my first time in Rugby as a Turkish football fan lmao
“Why are there no chants?”, “Is fun part…the game itself?”, “Why no one talks crap about the referee?”, “If I root for Ireland is it bandwa…nvm they suck at WC” were things I’ve genuinely said watching Six Nations for the first time in 2019.
Sneaky customer service. They don’t tell you about downgrading to the “Ireland’s Call” package.
What documentary is this from?
All going so well until the English comment. To be fair to English rugby fans, they’re not like that at all. Always felt very welcome at English rugby grounds anytime I’ve gone and never had to avoid talking to people like I’m sometimes worried about at certain English football grounds where you never know who has an axe to grind with the Irish.
Actually watch the game hahaha. Half the stadium are there to be seen, not to see anything. They’re more interested in pints and Instagram than anything on the field, nevermind knowing the actual rules. If in doubt just throw out a few “need to dominate the breakdown” comments to seem informed. That’s before we get to the stadium being as quiet as a morgue at the last Irish game I was at, a stark contrast to Croker I’ll tell you that
Low key. If I’m in a bar the the rugby fans crowd in. It’s always peaceful and a bunch of them play too so the view is mighty.
If football crowds come in, I don’t even need to coordinate with my group to leave for another location, we just leave. Usually alongside another few groups of people.
“you’ll actually be watching the match”
Not when you’re too busy downing your sticks of Hein-o-mite with the goys
I have to watch the big screen more than anything else because I can’t see what’s going on with the tackling, probably better of watching on telly.
I’d love to go watch a six nations match, can’t get decent tickets though
Zero accuracy here, tried supporting the rugby and went to a game Ireland v Scotland and was the most boring experience I’ve ever had, people sitting down with earpieces listening to coverage, complaining when others stand up and shout support at the team, Absolute draining experience from the start to the end.
People attending seem to be more interested in the profit and loss of their department than the score on the board.
> best teams on the planet right now
Presumably recorded before Oct 23 when we had a competition to see who the best teams on the planet were. And Ireland didn’t make it past the quarter final. Again.
Granted we do well in the Six Nations, a competition that has only ever been won by 4 nations.
