Hi I just stumbled across this website  -  good to see Storm have an online presence

Does anyone know of any pubs that will be broadcasting the Storm/Raiders game this Sat? Any place that we can chat to a few other Storm supporters would be great...


Much appreciated,

Welcome mmer2
I believe the Rising Sun Hotel on the corner of Burnley and Swan Street in Richmond is the pub of choice for all Storm fans (Look for the Storm sign right on the corner of the hotel). 

I'v personally never been to the RSH on (away) game day

Welcome mmer2.

Where to watch the game? This weekend most pubs with pay tv will most likely put the game on if you ask as there is no AFL on. As S2V mentioned the Rising Sun Hotel in Richmond used to be an alright place to watch the game and used to get quite a few Storm supporters even Storm players not in the 17 sometimes turned up, haven't been there for a while so no idea if they are still any good.

Vaucluse was another one in Richmond. There's some pub in Prahran but I don't know the name, Charles Dickens in the city, Victoria Inn in Williamstown was quite accommodating for me last year.

Quarry Hotel in Brunswick always has it on one of their televisions.

Rising Sun Hotel on Swan St Richmond is THE place to go.  It actually puts NRL on prime of place, rather than a small tv in the corner, with the sound down!

It must have changed since I last went there as AFL had prime of place in the main bar, except when the bistro was booked for a function. Also, for non-Storm games if you were lucky all you got was the small tv in the corner with the sound down.
