Boycott TP's Sports Bar (ex-Walkabout)?

[pauld]

Apparently we're not welcome in TP's Sports Bar because we're all violent thugs - won't allow Town fans in on matchdays, refused to show Monday's game because we're "too violent", but still hoping to cash in on the final because they're showing that. Nice. Maybe anyone not able to get to the game might want to watch it in a pub where they're actually welcome.

The ex-landlord of the Queen's Tap used to close his pub on match days for the same reason. Apparently he owned a pub outside Fratton Park but had never known any fans as violent as Swindon.

I don't think he appreciated the finer points of my argument which went along the lines of: "bollocks, you're talking shite"

Why promote yourself as a "sports bar" then refuse to show a massive football match
Idiots

They need to open there eyes - They are based in the bottom of town - hence you cant be too picky about your customers

it doesn't help that you're throwing a chair through the window while saying that though.

Makes me laugh, most of the trouble in there that I have seen has usually got something to do with their over eager bouncers looking for a fight.  They know where the blind spots in the CTTV are too.  I know from experience.

Cunts!

what a joke, as JFW has said, a brand new sports bar, the first of its kind in swindon town centre, which refused to show one of STFC's biggest games in recent times. JOKE!!!

[Power to people]

Is it an ew sports bar though of just walkabout being renamed - I like the bit where htey say that they have swindon fan;s in on a Sat night causing trouble, I think that may have nothing to do with football just the clientelle they attract

[Sippo]

On a similar subject, will the game be shown at the club do you think or are all staff going to wembley?

[Barry Scott]

To be fair, i can see their side a bit. I know i've been in some pretty horrible situations in Swindon bars during England games (windows put through, chairs and pints thrown), so can't imagine Swindon games being any more civil. Although as P2p says, it's also the clientele that pubs in the bronx attract.

It was the change of mind that annoyed me as much as anything - won't have Town fans in the place, won't show the games etc under normal circumstances but then change their minds when they think they might cash in. Wankers

[Jamiesfuturewife]

Lets go in and smash the place up to teach them a lesson!!
