Would you watch world up rugby at a bar in NYC at 7am?

Question

I am trying to decide whether or not to show the rugby world cup at my bar in the east village, nyc. Do you think it would be a good idea? How many people are actually in to rugby in the US? Would anyone show up for a 7am game?

Answer 1

Oh yep, I'm a bit weird like that!

Answer 2

Yes, of course you should.  There's an irish pub down here in Tampa that shows Rugby live in the AM and they have a great turnout.  What you should do is e-mail the local teams in your area such as the Villiage Lions and advertise - they will bring their friends, etc.  Just prepare for the carnage and debouchery that will follow.

Answer 3

You show it, they will come. There are more than enough rugby lovers and less than enough people like you who are willing to go the extra mile.

Answer 4

h**l yeh down here in australia im going b watchin all the games live

Answer 5

h**l Yes...Go!!!

Answer 6

Do, especially if their are not many other bars showing it.  You should get a good turnout from the ex-pats.

Answer 7

No I wouldn't watch the RWC in a New York bar at any time of the day. Why? Because I couldn't tolerate the American's constant ******** comments.

"That center ran a great C pattern to make that score, eh Chuck? He's a good player to have on their roster"

However, from a business perspective I would most certainly screen the matches if I were you.

Answer 8

hey

Here in Australia, they will be showing the rugby at 1 am or even 3am because we are quite far ahead in time and i am sure all the bars in Australia will be open. It happened when the soccer world cup was on.

Answer 9

Yes, I agree do it.

Answer 10

yes of course
