If the fans are anything like me they arent going to waste big money on expensive restaurants when a burger and fries will supply enough cheap fuel to sustain the drinking and cheering. Why waste good money in a restaurant that you would be too pissed to remember anyway. |

| 1235541 | 2011-10-06 18:56:00 | I remember years ago getting a call from a telemarketer. He was trying to sell me discount vouchers so that I got cheaper rates at selected restaurants. I had to tell him he was wasting his time with me, because when I travel, I very seldom eat in posh restaurants. I usually go to takeaways. The telemarketer replied, "Yeh, I am a fish and chip man myself". | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1235542 | 2011-10-06 21:57:00 | Hmmm. The Viaduct always seems to be busy when I'm walking to the ferry each night (more so towards the end of each week) - so the bars and restaurants seem to be doing OK there. On a semi-related note (re: Paul.Cov's post above) - I walked past Danny Doolan's (an Irish pub) Quay Street entrance this morning. Police crawling all over it - all taped off, lots of blood on the wall and the ground, so must have been a bit of biffo there last night/early this morning. That said, it's the first evidence I have seen of any violence that may be related the RWC.... |

| 1235545 | 2011-10-07 19:05:00 | The guy has died. Seems he was set upon by three local boys with a P habit. You can bet that story will get a lot of air in the victims home country, and will significantly impact on visitor numbers from wherever that may be... assuming he was a visitor. The story suggests his parents were elesewhere in NZ at the time. |
