Kix - The waiting staff are very good in there. They all learn you name and what your tipple is so its a nice friendly atmosphere, the managers (Brits) know what they are doing and are approachable and as MUSC members we get 25% off the bill.... Whats not to like?

Possibly the most pointless supporters club:

Avon Valley Saints

Secretary: Beverley Herrington
XXXXXXX, Alderholt, Fordingbridge
Hants., SP6 XXXXX
Phone/Fax 01425 XXXXXX

For those of you who don't know, Fordingbridge has a Salisbury post code and is ~20 miles from the centre of Southampton......

Harvesters in the UK isn't the same company as the UAE bar...

I hang my head in shame for not having heard of the Harvesters in the CP.

Is it worth a visit or is it a bar where I try to convince ladies of the night that I'm really from downtown Accra?

25% off the bill, with a pint at 35, that makes it a net of 27 or so, that's a lot better. Do you need to show a card?

To get the discount you need to be a MUSC member and show your card. £30 or 40 a year.

Discounts are for food and drink.

They do also have a pretty good happy hour in there tho to.

Re Green Paint, when I was a lot younger and a little bit more immature we used to drink what we called Green Monsters.
