Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[Scotland]

Yeah Freo were good, but were they as good as three second gamers kicking 8 goals between them?

They weren't, but then they also had an opponent.

 

[Forward Press]

They weren't, but then they also had an opponent.

*implying Essendon away is an opponent*

 

[Scotland]

*implying Essendon away is an opponent*

They are.

Not a great one, but at least they turned up. The Bulldogs are currently the worst team in the comp by a fair margin. I don't think they'll win the spoon but right now they are VFL standard.

Matt Taberner > Derpy McDerpface Daniher

Matt Taberner > Derpy McDerpface Daniher

I have always been a supporter of Taberner, but you take that back (unless you mean 'for 2018 so far').

 

[Scotland]

I'll take it back when Daniher takes back that ridiculous moustache.

I haven't watched them yet this year but are you saying this having seen the St Kilda game?

 

[Scotland]

Yes. I always mark the Saints 5 goals better than they are, coz you know, umpires.

At least the Saints showed something in round 1

 

[Beerfish]

So whilst I thought the stadium itself was brilliant and good riddance Subi etc, one thing I did find annoying was when you get off the train at Perth to change trains they had half the walkway taped off. There was virtually nobody coming the other way so they were basically forcing 99% of the traffic through 50% of the walkway. Wtf? What other city would tape off half a passage at a train station just in case someone was coming the other way? Another strange thing was when we were getting on the connecting train they actually had danger tape between plastic bollards all along the platform which they put up when the train was loaded and doors closed. Again wtf? Only in perf.

Never go to the Camfield before games was what I learned from the weekend.

Much better to walk from Crown.

I don't get it. Camfield is closer. What am I missing?

 

[Reynolds Number]

Saw the queue for the pub at 3pm Saturday?

 

[Beerfish]

Saw the queue for the pub at 3pm Saturday?

Nah. I thought it was the biggest pub in the southern hemisphere? And there was still a massive queue? Must be the 'new thing in perf' thing.

 

[gaskin]

I can't speak for before the game but there was a huge line after the game. Me and my mates were going to go in but decided against it when we saw the line.

 

[Scotland]

I wonder what all the staff do for 2-3 hours while the game is on.

 

[Billy ray]

I thought the day of the big beer barn was over with all the small bars etc.

why cant they sell some land and have a developer build a bunch of small units/terrace type buildings, perhaps around or next to some park, and allow small bars to open up.

 

[Scotland]

The precinct as it is now doesn't really lend itself to small venues as they'd be dead 90% of the time. Over time hopefully something develops between the train station and the ground.

 

[quotemokc]

Line for The Camfield at like 1530

 

[Smeg Head]

That will die off, typical Perf novelty line

 

[Beerfish]

LOL Why would you bother? You'd miss the bounce.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I wonder what all the staff do for 2-3 hours while the game is on.

If the bounce down is at 4, they probably have a 12:00 to 6 shift then a 6-12 shift. Probably knock heaps of people of off at 4:30 in the arvo. Probably run by some hire place or something who knows.

 

[JackOutback]

Who is crazy enough to join the back of a queue that long.

 

[Beerfish]

Who is crazy enough to join the back of a queue that long.

Perth people just love queues. We'll queue up for anything.

Not this Perth person; a five person queue is about enough to lose my interest.

 

[WCErevival]

If the queue is that long it must be good right?
