Goodness, suddenly everyone's awake!!!
I watched a couple of games at the Common Ground before I came to the
Depot, it wasn't too bad, there is a group of guys that go there
every week that are pretty friendly, and we didn't have any problems
watching the game (except the playoff game when the patsies beat us,
then there was a bit of a brawl). The food was good, but the place
is kinda small. And last I knew, they got rid of Guinness on draft.
=(
If there's anything I can do to help find a new place, let me know.
