I thought they were allowed to be open but drink must be kept inside them
Any reason in particular you ask?

What are the rules around social clubs being opened during games?
As far as i was aware it is not allowed to be open?

Just have heard a few reports and witnessed myself the bar at st endas being open and having a few lads having a few and shouting abuse at players.
Just wondering if different rules apply for the county chairman's club .

Social club premises/bars are not allowed to remain open during games.........

[Would ye whist]

I was under the impression the bar at Corrigan remains open during games (perhaps I am wrong)

Is that not up to each individual club?

We had problems in said location a few weeks back. Recipe for disaster unless dealt with.

Yes and a fantastic view of the pitch, made even better by a lovely pint....

People are rude regardless of having pints or not I get lovely choice words in most games, though I must say last nights was a delight and fair play to both sets of players and managers

Last year we went up to O'Ds for an U15 championship game.

About half a dozen fellas left the bar with their pints and stood on the sideline, apart from when they went back in the get more pints, and shouted abuse at our players for the whole game.

It was reported back to our club by another spectator and supposedly passed on to Ulster GAA but we haven't heard a peep since.

No one really gives a toss.

Not having a dig at Belfast clubs in general, I know there are country teams that aren't all that welcoming without naming any!.

My point was that at that one particular club, they left the social club open during a match, in which a number of grown men, while drinking, felt it appropriate to come out and abuse 14 and 15 year old boys.

Hopefully they get dealt with at some point as it is completely unacceptable.

A country club lost homes games the other year and another lost home games this year but I get your point

So you are saying only country clubs get punished and the Belfast clubs get away scot free

Just adding some balance to the thread

Any sorta pinting will result in the extra crap thrown about at games, there is nothing anyone can do if someone comes to the spectator's end and be pissed, but what we can't allow is for randomer's coming from a function (which I believe happened at the Cargin game) and throw that crap around without it being punished or managed better at the time.

I wrote a report before for the same venue 2 years ago, in which there was a verbal attack, which things can easily escalate. It's not a good look.
