    Pre Match Boozers For Semi-Final

    Hi Guys,

    just booked a bus to hampden for the semi for the first time and wondering the best way to go about getting booked into a bowling club/pub before. Or should we be able to turn up at a pub beforehand and all be able to get in?

    Any help appreciated.

    The bus I'm going in is booked into a club, however the bar doesn't open until 11am. Think I'll just head towards the ground when we get parked

    It's generally just a case of phoning up places in Glasgow and asking if they will take a bus booking and what they can offer re drink and catering.

    Reckon you'll be toiling to get many places serving early doors on semi final day though.

    Early Citylink bus and 8am arrival @ Alfredo's across the road for me. Sliced Sausage Roll and a Strongbow please!

    Allison Arms for post match pints, looks like a ****hole, has a great range of craft/Belgian/German beers inside.

    If you can't find a pub before the game just stand on the street with your carry out. The glasgow police won't bother about it....

    I'm hoping to have a couple in The International which is close to where the buses park. Just up the road from Asda.

    Went there the last time we played Falkirk. Had to queue for about half an hour but still managed to sink a few.

    Pointless booking your bus into the boozer. Unless you're all still on it of course.

    We're booked into The Clockwork which opens at 11am. Park the buses, couple of pints, then off to the game.

    Hardly worth it for an hour in the pub.

    Ah but you do know that some will stay for an hour and a half and that you have to let them past you to get to their seats.
