[Football] Brighton beach big screen World Cup viewing

[Munkfish]

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?

My view on it is, you are one loss away from it kicking off.

 

[The Spanish]

Try the marina. Big screen tv,deck chairs, master Mariner pub and free.

and people from Brighton there

 

[Mellotron]

One thing I would mention is that you've got loads of drunk blokes, and stones.

Went and saw the Uruguay game there 4 years ago and some lads got quite lairy outside, trying to force some cages open. Don't know who started it but people started throwing stones. It got to a point where people were luzzing stones both into the cage and at the people outside. Bear in mind there were small children inside. I can't begin to explain how ****ing THICK someone has to be to do that.

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.

Exactly.

I work within a 2 minute walk of it, and every day it was busy for the Euro's a couple of years back. I spent almost every work lunch down there as you could walk in for free for as long as you wish. Now every games £5 for a 'day pass' even if you only want to watch 1 of the 2 games, or a half in my case. Needless to say EVERY time i've walked past around 2/3pm it's been absolutely DEAD whilst the footy is on, and heard countless people complain about the queue's for the England games for drinks.

Hopefully the last time Luna get it.

Cracking atmosphere.

I don't get homesick very often but that photo gave me a pang.

So sounds like the Marina one is the better option - any tips from folk that have been there for a wc game?

Who needs wc's when you're surrounded by the marina. Just stand by the edge.

Heard the same. Local guy kicked out because an 'outsider' came in with more cash. Few years contract as well. Hope he fails.
First the i360 now the big screen. Just because it's Brighton, doesn't mean we're loaded.

There'll be vandalism of Colombian cars in Brighton if we lose.

German cars were vandalised in Brighton on the night we got knocked out of Italia90.

I missed it, as I'm became a Dad the day before. But miles away on a hill at the back of Hove, I could here the music.

Must have been some event.

I wouldn’t say so. I know a lot of people that bought adult and child tickets for tomorrows England game have now all been told they have changed their minds and no u18’s will be allowed in. Doesnt affect us but has done for many.

Needless to say everyone who has got tickets for 17yr olds and under will be slightly miffed today when they find out. Shame really as all the previous games have had kids and been a cracking atmosphere in there.

No under 18s allowed according to the website https://www.seetickets.com/event/wi...bia-v-england/brighton-beach-brighton/1206011

'This event is for over 18s only - No refunds will be issued for under 18s'. That seems a bit harsh if you bought a ticket when that restriction hadn't been introduced:

They mean no refunds if you bought an over 18 ticket and can't prove you are over 18 - I believe they have refunded those U18 tickets they have already sold on the website

At least this makes the decision for me, will look at the Marina big screen - unless anyone knows of any other big screen / fan park type events in the area?

I think their website said that they are now concentrating on the tennis.

There'll be vandalism of Colombians’ cars in Brighton if we lose.

Well I’m prepared to guard the grounds of Izquierdo Towers all night if it means protecting his motor (and his dear little piggy).

Interesting.

I bought for Saturday in the hope that England progress and it states under 12s must be accompanied by an adult. Nothing about no under 18s. Maybe it’s because Tuesday is an evening game and therefore possibly more likely to attract a drunken crowd?

Fact remains they knew the KO time and were still selling child tickets up until yesterday

Wouldn’t happen in Germany.
