Is anywhere you know opening earlier than normal on Sunday to accommodate people heading up the game? Food places Pubs etc. Can be further afield than just around the CBS.

So ive seen the obvious;
Dhillon's @ 8am
Anecdote @ 10am
Byatts Brewery @ 10am

Any others?

Gosh, The Wheel, one hell of a time since been in there. It's a bit of a walk but not as far as people might think.

Not much point going home Saturday night.
Stay in the Casino till they kick you out, then off to the 24 hour McDonald's then off to the pub at 10am for a full English, then off to the Arena.

Sky Blue Tavern is 8am as well, makes sense with it being a Dhillons. Still tickets for the shuttle bus too I think.

It was nearest pub to me where I grew up didn't go in it much though.
Just checked on google it's 1.9 miles. Highfield road is just about identical in distance. I nearly always walked to Highfield road.

It makes you wonder just how much a successful team contributes to the local economy. Long may it continue.

Massively. I used to argue it loads back when we moved/Wasps took over. What else brings in 3000 away fans in every week?

Was listening to CWR yesterday driving to the ground. McSheffrey made the good point that we now have these pop up bars in and around the ground, something which didnt exist in his time of playing and it adds to the atmosphere etc. Whilst it will never be HR, there are some aspects to it which are starting to make it feel a bit more "Homeley" than it used to.

Totally agree. Was saying the same to my mate yesterday about them and the sports bar, it's becoming a place you actually want to go to before and stay after the game as well

Was good. I'd like to know what cut we get from the sales. Will it match the bars inside the ground?

Should continue, especially in August/September and then into the spring next year. Wouldn't work on a cold Saturday in the rain.

I would assume they pay the club (or maybe unfortunately the owner) a lease fee to serve there. Then profits are their own?

The club must get something as they've been encouraging fans to use them on twitter

I'd bet nothing to the club.
