Sunderland Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 especially the Celtic bar Me too mate. Didnt even know ther was one. Not that i ever went there very often. Only when playing football in Pattaya. Its off Soi Buakaow, and its covered in Celtic green, ive actually nothing against Celtic and dont get involved in the Irish problems just being English id be wary to go in there. There is a Newcastle bar in this vicinity and that seems to have a strange atmosphere when the footies on. Where as the Premier League bar also off Soi Buakaow has all clubs badges and flags is always packed and has a great atmosphere. Gullivers takes some beating for football when all the games are on on a Saturday afternoon (UK time) ....... sounds like a typical visit to Sid James Park to me, like.

chavy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 There's a Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves bar on Sukhumwit called the Pickled Liver. Or is it a Sunderland, Falkirk, Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal bar because I have seen fans of those clubs in there too?!Hmmmmmm ... where's the Hartlepool Supporters Club bar in Bangkok??? The " Bangkok Hilton" by any chance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I know this may come as a bit of a shock. But i will never set foot in the dump. I'll save my Satang for when the Man City one opens I assumer that will be on that piece of Land in Rachadapisek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 The idea of a bar for Man Utd fans is rather nauseating, and I don't say that because I'm a Leeds fan. It's all so 'twee' - the idea that you brand a bar after a club in the hope their fans will choose it over other bars. What gets me is who the target audience is. Real football fans would be too embarrassed to be part of it (and, let's face it, Man Utd fans are hardly known for their passion, with even the manager wondering how a stadium of 70000 fans can be so quiet), and non-Man Utd fans wouldn't go near it for obvious reasons. Thai fans probably wouldnt be able to afford a bar charging 4 star hotel bar prices, so I guess that means it's a rather cynical attempt to get dollars from the new generation of Asian red who walk around wearing the shirt as a fashion statement, knowing nothing of the club's history, heritage or even geographic location. I'm wondering where it will be based. I'm assuming it will be at the new Citadines being built. How horrible for you reds . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 ^^^ Well, as Man Utd fan as well, you wont catch me in such a place. I have nothing but contempt for these corporate spin offs/ rip offs which appeal to the plastic fan. I think that Bendix has hit the nail on the head in the second paragraph. There are plenty of other venues to go and watch the games in Bangkok, which will at least have fans from other teams in them, and for me thats all part of the fun. Roll on the begining of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 ^^^ Whilst Bendix my not be everyones cup of tea, he is an informed football supporter, who in this instance I agree with. I have also stated a similar opinion as a United fan, which Redrus has also expanded on. Whilst i am not a match going supporter these days (living here), these plastic, false ventures make my skin crawl. I very much doubt that the bulk of the clientel in these sort of places would have much clue about the club prior to David Beckham, and they are equally like to switch allegience if and when United are no longer one of the dominant clubs. I've been in the one in Singapore a number of times, and it really isn't much to write home about, so although I may go in and have a beer there to see what it's like, I'll stick to watching the games in the bars where there are fans from other clubs.
