Thank you all for turning out last night to the Bloomsbury, pleasant pub, friendly staff, enjoyable refreshments, good company, good atmosphere.

I thought it was a great all round night apart from the result and it will be repeated by popular demand for the Catalans game. Landlady has agreed to provide food at half time. Great to chat to fans and enjoy the game in comfort as well as adding a bit more atmosphere than sitting at home.

I will post something nearer the time and would appreciate it if you would let me know of your attendance. It will help to ensure enough bar staff and food is available. Hope the young lads at the end pof the bar who were enjoying the game can be talked into coming along to the Stoop.

Jane, if you are reading this, hope your black eye gets better soon.

Once again thanks for your support.

Who is Jane? Howells bird

How many of us turned up

Just over 40 turned up, would be great to see more next time, and Jane is the landlady who had an accident just as we arrived and was really not very well after it.

I'd've gone if I'd known, won't be around for the Catalans though!

good night, comfy sofa's good tv, friendly staff and great that they put on some food, very simple but hit the spot

Am going to be in catalan so dont need to sit in twickers watching telly

But ta for who ever set it up and ta to the pub

yep good nite, in Frqnce so will miss next week!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't make Friday but can do for Cats game. Sounds like an excellent turn out.

Wire/Saints game by any chance ?

I'll be there for the Wires match in my primrose and blue

How much a pint? Any real ale?

only bottled......but a massive selection!!!!!
I think the Real Ale problem was a "blip" and the normally sell 3 ales on draught.

I take it this will now be the Offical "unoffical" Quins fans meet for home games as well from now on???

If so I'll put some names to faces, finally. I'll be the fatlad in a tee shirt & Barca cap.

I may have further news regarding a propsed "Quins RL Supporters Trust" for anyone interested.

Keep the faith.

Argh, just realized that Quins are playing this saturday against Hudds (call myself a fan...or a northern-exile, newly-converted, fan at least). Was wondering, what are my chances of being able to hang round in the bar and watch the Wires game after Quins? Do they shut up shop after an hour or so? Reckon they will put the sound on?

I'm sure they will show this game in the kings bar afterwards, they normally do show the superleague games in there, whether they have the sound on I don't know, you can always ask the bar staff.

And the bar stays open for a few hours after the game, should be long enough to watch the whole game

hth

Yeah, had noticed that they did, but was worried about being turfed out by over zealous bar staff. Not sure about being there for Quins, they've lost every game I've been to see so far this season, apart from Hull and when they tonked my beloved Wires.

So apart from the ones they won they've lost

BLOOMSBURY PUB

Catalans game - Sunday 19th July - come and support your team in a friendly, comfy atmosphere. Free half time nibbles. Great place to be.

It would be great to all turn out and turn this into 'our' pub

Its a bit out of my manor as you lot tend to say down here, but if we can convince the landlord that putting SL on the screens on a Fri and Sat (or Sun) if needs be gets a few regular rugby folk thro the door, then i would go in there quite a bit when am over here and not able to watch my sky on a Fri night
trying to convince any pub round Maidenhead area to put it on i s a nightmare
especially if Accrington Stanley are playing Didcot rovers in the kick ball is being played

Could be worse am always in the IOW over bank holiday, locals would rather watch ticker tape kickball scores comign over the tv with sound off than have the Challenge cup final on!!! wierdo's

Good luck with this, if I lived in London I would be there in a shot.

Errrrrm.........thought it was 19th July???

unless Sky have pulled another fast one and changed the month as well as the day and ko time! Now that would be pushing our goodwill just a tad too far!!!

Has it been confirmed that this will be on? REally don't want to have to use the default option of the Walkabout

So, where is this pub???????

I can confirm this will be on and I will be speaking with the landlady nearer the time regarding free grub at half time, I will be asking on here for an approx number of attendees to help her facilitate this. This availability is for all QuinsRL games on SKY, come along in your club jersey. Any other SKY games will be available but without the food. Just ask the landlord/landlady to put one of the three screens on for you and hence you can watch any RL game you request and you will be made very welcome.
