Was absolutely heaving before the Hearts game, with some joker playing "Sunshine on Leith" on a loop on the jukebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely absolutely bewildered, only been in a few times for pool and it never struck me as a pre match haunt, I'll try it out sometime this season.

steviecraigybrewster Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 food is good in the ballroom, but the pints are either a hit or a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I understand that in isolation a Challenge Cup draw shouldn't be taken into consideration when thinking about the managers future but we played our full strength, first choice team from those available - it's not like he rotated the squad much, gave game time to the guys who haven't been playing recently or chucked in a couple of youngsters. Hopefully it's given the whole squad a wake up call and we can go back to how we played after scoring v Partick and for spells in the second half at Falkirk. If we regress to the way we played v Alloa in the league or in the Partick game up til the goal then this could be quite a turgid affair, like the two games down in Dumfries last season (the second of which was slightly worse I think but they were both dreadful).

Very little atmosphere in the Ballroom, you'd forget you were going to the football I'd imagine, but as Poet says it's a decent spot to watch the football and get a few games of pool, darts or table tennis. The only food I've had out of there was the nachos and they all congealed into one big plasticy-cheesey blob within 5 minutes, not recommended. I'm also not having the shout that the Watering Hole was for KY11 tinks only, it used to be a fantastic pub. It's also in KY12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I lived in a KY12 postcode when I frequented the Watering Hole. Used to be a Pars pub back in the day. Great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Do people really go to pubs for "atmosphere"?I'd prefer it to be at the game, but a lot of people seem to think it's better to sing in the pub beforehand, sing themselves hoarse then not bother during the game unless we're winning five nil.

Not even in the sense of loads of singing before a game but surely a decent atmosphere in a pub is always preferable? I choose most pubs based on atmosphere I think.

If you pick your pub based on whether or not a pint is a few pence different, you're drinking too much. Location and atmosphere / customer base / quality of service is much more important for me.
