Cup final

[Vini1875]

Any thoughts on a pre-game venue get together for all in the branch? A chance for some of us to pay subs even assuming our esteemed treasurer is a capable condition to collect or even in the country.

Not sure what would really suit everyone best, anywhere in Shawlands is handy for me. Anything you had in mind in particular Vini?

I can confirm the treasurer is in the country and will be there. Whether he'll be in a capable condition remains to be seen

Not sure about a venue, the one I had in mind will be jumpin' with the Celtic title party and others known to me operate a strict no colours policy

I guess the hun shops will be rather quiet

Suggestions welcomed.

[Vini1875]

Not being a drinking man or a soo'sider no idea and then there is the sunday licensing so not even sure what time pubs open. A huns pub sounds good to me though we could organise one of those painting parties at the same and do a green white and gold/St. Patrick's/Carol Smillie sort of event. Will come back with suggestions to be shot down later.

Got this from a tartan army website so the speil attached has nowt to do with me. I have put the pubs in bold which might be a decent shout. Probably best to phone first and sort something if we can agree on a pub. Failing that it will have to be Robertson's where I hear they they do a decent Magnars and a square sausage roll or two, however the address is a bit of a secret.

Victoria Road

A very popular drinking area for the Tartan Army, and around 15-20 minutes walk from Hampden (see directions from Queens Park station). Again, I can’t vouch for all of these, but the following are pretty popular:

The Pandora, corner of Victoria Road and Calder Street – Ridiculously popular pub, a big favourite with the users of the TAMB. Get here early or don’t get in (bouncers enforce a one-out, one-in policy). Expect a fantastic atmosphere, Tartan Army karaoke, singing and camaraderie– the prices is long waits at the bar, obstacle courses to the toilets, and the toilets themselves… think the Somme!

Victoria Arms, corner of Victoria Road and Allison Street – Used as an overflow for The Pandora, however it has been known to shut it’s doors to all but regulars. If you do get in, it’s very friendly, and very reasonably-priced, with a big screen, lots of seats and good service.


The Queens Park Café, Victoria Road – tea and scones? Not quite - situated at the end of Vicky Road closest to Hampden, the QPC is not a café but a large, multi-roomed boozer. Once the pub of choice, then fell out of favour – now it seems to fill up quite quickly, and relies on plastic glasses to satisfy the packed clientele. Not a bad place, but not the best either.

Pollokshaws Road

If drinking here, allow extra time, as it’s a good 25-minute walk (either via Langside Avenue or Vicky Road).

Allison Arms, Pollokshaws Road – a Real Ale favourite, this traditional pub is a great boozer, but has fallen out of favour with the Tartan Army over the past few years. I like it because of the name!

Heraghty’s, Pollokshaws Road – an enigmatic single-roomed pub with a ladder in the Gents, and a Ladies toilet added as an afterthought. Great Guinness, if you can find the bar staff!



Budda’s, Langside Avenue – the walk from Shawlands Cross down Langside Avenue will bring you up to a large pub on the right hand side called Budda’s. Never been in, but there were plenty of Tartan Army using it last time.

The “other side” – Aikenhead Road, Cathcart and the Gorbals

I’ve not been in any of these, but they are there, and are handy (of sorts) for Hampden. The following are observations based on the outside of the pub, the location and other people’s opinions:



The International Bar – At the top end of Aikenhead Road (between Hampden and the City), the International has a reputation as being a “functional” (read: spit and sawdust) Glasgow boozer. See the PTFC.net review here (second pub down).

The other one on Aikenhead Road – A social-club like exterior, but yet again I’ve never been in, and I’ve only ever been past it after games on the way to Kings Park station (the pub is about halfway from the ground to the station). Looks like it gets very busy, and is in a residential area, so wouldn’t be surprised if they have a regulars-only policy.

The Clockwork Beer Company, Cathcart Road – Near Cathcart Station (on the same circle as Mount Florida and Queens Park) – the Clockwork is a pretty nice pub, by all accounts, and is famed for it’s beer range. The beers on offer range from the in-house brew, a good selection of real ales and normal beers, through to the more eclectic: pear cider (it’s only an alcopop!) and the like. Now for the bad news – the Clockwork is almost always ticket only, and the tickets are taken up by Supporters buses and locals. Might be worth a try if you’re in the area or visiting the Hampden museum.

We're a close bunch but four in a disabled toilet is taking it too far. I'm sure if push comes to shove we can each hold on until the other is finished.

I will be there indeed, Vindo.

I'm only going for the banter. And the subs.
