🍻 Game Day Tips
Book early: Finals crowds mean tables fill fast.
Show up early for pre‑game eats and snag the best seats.
Dress in your club colours—scarves, jerseys, face paint—you name it, bring it.
Stick around after the siren—either bask in the win or bond over defeat, with a cold drink and good craic.  Live music at some venues after the game.
