[Football] Brighton beach big screen World Cup viewing

[Giraffe]

Any good?

 

[Mr Banana]

The queue for the (one) bar before the Belgium game made the kiosks at Falmer seem like express boarding for a flight to the Bermuda Triangle. Therefore lots of drunk lads drinking two beers at a time, ensuing atmosphere was a bit special.

Edit: the security's a bit nuts as well this year. Admittedly we are exceptionally awkward and highly dubious-looking but I thought checking inside my mate's fag packet was a bit over-zealous

Is it just for the England games or all games? Apologies I’ve been away the last two weeks.

This is outside, right?

Went for the France v Argentina game. Quite enjoyed it. The Luna ‘shop’ also sells cans of Stella at £3.50 if the bar queues are too long

I really couldn't imagine anything worse

Yes it in the village square by the lagoon with the boats for sale.

Cracking atmosphere.

Local man who set up the original big screens with great feedback got usurped by national corporate supplier who immediately hike the price up from free to a fiver. **** that,hope it sinks and we get the old guy back.

I wish I'd known about this. Looks good.

Word of warning though, just looked on their website and looks like there's no more World Cup until the quarter finals and even that's dependent on what's happening at Wimbledon.

Do the council rent the area to them?

It's been almost completely empty most days, although there always seems to be a steady stream of people walking off after being told it's a fiver to get in. Don't need to be a Premier League Ready CEO to see it ain't a great business model

But he might have had cigarettes in there.

Liking the flotilla of boats offshore. How very European.

Operation Sea Lion, belatedly.

I’ve seen smokers hide lighters in their fag packets. You could set something on fire with one of those.

What about Swan Vestas sowed into the hem of your turn-ups on your Oxford bag trousers. Stay aler5 folks.

Was going to go this weekend to watch the Spain game but the fiver put me off when it had been free before. Shame as it had been good in previous years.

If England beat Colombia I am looking to take my kids to see the game on the big screen, they are 11,11,13 & 15 - Would the Luna Beach one be suitable or too many idiots? What about the Marina one - good atmosphere? Can you take your own food and drink and chairs etc?
