Dry 7s ???
 
So the dry night for the prophets birthday will be Thursday 6pm till Friday 6pm. Will this mean that the 7s Friday will be dry? That’s gonna hurt the sales a bit.

That weekend is one of the biggest money spinners of the year for F&B. A lot of good business to be lost potentially.

Profit before Prophet again maybe !!!

I wasn't planning on going this year but seriously, DRY SEVENS??? Surely that's not going to happen? They'll lose a fortune..... and it's not like its a different weekend every year.

People have been asking on their FB page. They've replied that it's going to be "business as usual".

What did you expect? With business as usual for brunches and bars during Ramadan, it'd be silly to make the 7s dry.

Nice. As DXB says with a wet Ramadan it hardly makes sense.

Not so much panic as disbelief!

I'm not attending the 7's......or more accurately 'I'm currently not planning' on attending the 7's this year.... although, you never know.

I haven't been for years now. Full of early-20's recruitment consultants and estate agents. The *****.

... and lawyers. I always get invited by lawyers. Posh boys reliving their Rugby playing public school days while getting smashed on cheap beer or pimms.

Indeed. Always have a driver waiting for you. If you're going to be a posh boy do it properly.

Same here. Maybe 3 years now. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it when I'm there if theres a decent crowd of you, but in the end its a bit of a ball ache.

Think I've been three times. Each time I say never again. Went two years ago as I was begged to go by MM2 - after standing in the sun for 1.5 hours waiting to go through security she agreed to never come back.

Absolutely. Saw a guy get torn to shreds trying to skip the queue. Was pretty savage but he totally deserves it for being such an arrogant helmet.

It's good if you get there early and don't queue to get in, it's good if you're in a decent sized group of buddies and want to have a bit of a laugh and a nice day out. I'd go if I had any friends.
