Republica bar - New Saints Venue Report

[BringBackMadDog]

Ventured down to St Kilda Sea baths on Friday night to watch the game. Overall the venue was pretty good, they have one LCD TV inside and one massive LCD in an under cover courtyard. The majority of the saints supporters sat in the courtyard to watch the game.

The Picture quality was fabulous but the sound was too soft and you couldn't pick up much of the commentary. The saints crowd (around 50 people) were a fairly rowdy bunch which created a great atmosphere.

The only issue is that the courtyard had a large canvas covering which leaked a bit when the rain came down and it got very cold if you weren't sitting next to a radiant heater.

Other than that we had a great time and will definitely make this our new hangout for interstate games

Any chance they could move the large plasma inside when the real winter weather kicks in you reckon?

Michael, the beer prices are the down side, you may need to get a small personal loan if you want to have a big session!!!

The TV inside is a normal 106cm LCD wall mounted but it is right next to the open fireplace! The issue is most people sitting indoors weren't there for the game so there was not much atmosphere inside. Mind you I don't think the weather will get much worse than it was on Saturday night, it was seriously windy with horizontal rain at one stage, but it wasn't too bad in the courtyard so I think it won't be too bad
