For over four years now,
The Manchester Pub, 546 Ouellette Avenue, downtown Windsor has been the premiere destination in town for football (or
soccer) fans.
At first, their name attracted fans of Manchester
United, whose passion for the sport and their team lead to an influx of other
English Premier League and other European league fans to begin watching - and
cheering - their own teams. This excitement led the Pub in becoming THE
destination for World Cup action in 2010, creating an atmosphere of fan
excitement unseen by even the most loyal of North American sports fans.
In 2011, The Manchester
Pub become the officially sanctioned headquarters of the Manchester United
Supporters Club of Canada's Windsor-Essex chapter, regularly opening early for
every and all United fixtures, live with sound. The response was incredible, with
fans from the county to the city showing up in their jerseys, with their
scarves and with their United songbook in tow. Champions League and Euro Cup
only strengthened the Pub's stature and reputation as being the best place to
watch European football.
With World Cup 2014 fast
approaching, as well as an emerging new appreciation in North America for
English Premier League football, The Manchester Pub will be launching Premier
League Breakfasts the weekend of February 22nd. This means that beginning that
particular weekend, the Pub will be open at 7am EVERY Saturday and Sunday,
catering to not only the faithful United Supporters Club, but to fans of every
Premier League squad. The Pub will be televising all available EPL games,
including the early morning matches, all while serving an exclusive breakfast
menu from 7am to 11am. The day will also be sponsored by Carlsberg, who will be
providing EPL swag for giveaways through the morning, including one official
Premier League team jersey given away once a month (opening weekend will see a
brand new Manchester United home jersey given away), culminating in a Fusbol
Table giveaway, to be drawn the final weekend of the 2013/2014 Premier League
season.
The opening weekend
kick-off matches are Chelsea vs. Everton at 7:45am on Saturday February 22nd
and Liverpool vs. Swansea at 8:30am on Sunday February 23rd. Sunday will have
an added bonus of live coverage of the Winter Olympics Men's Hockey Gold Medal
game, live at 7am. CANADA VS SWEDEN!
