Casino Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 what do you want in the 'fanzone' forget the striippers and the class a's what do you want it to be don't wait until its fcuking well over and then moan how it should've been this and should've been that the folk who are setting this up will read your thoughts, so lets have it
HomerJay Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 1. reasonably priced, COLD beer. 2. english speaking staff who can count (this may sound stupid to club personnel reading this, but piss poor staff just wind punters up)
M G WHITES Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 what do you want in the 'fanzone' forget the striippers and the class a's what do you want it to be don't wait until its fcuking well over and then moan how it should've been this and should've been that the folk who are setting this up will read your thoughts, so lets have it Flags up on the wall make it feel like it belongs to us, guest speaker's maybe,no stewards walking round acting hard.
frank_spencer Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Plenty of seats plenty of beer plenty of staff perhaps a bus to run earlier than the one that get's you there 10 mins before kick off.
tylswhite Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 All the live football on and some previous Bolton games/highlights. Assuming they let kids in, something for them to do otherwise they'll be running round allover place. Put all flags up and football memorabilia to make it feel like a Bolton pub. The main one which will bring people in is the service, if it is good it will be rocking.
Sweep Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 a big screen showing highlights of famous/classic games of the past, to get everybody in the mood.
HomerJay Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 a big screen showing highlights of famous/classic games of the past, to get everybody in the mood. aye, complete with dave higson at 100 decibels!
Smiffs Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Folk could leave their flags and then the place can be decorated beforehand by one of the work experience lads. Big screens showing ding dong do videos. Decent priced readily available ale. Simple things for simple folk.
Underpants Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Simple - enough properly trained staff to get the job done. If folk are drinking rather than queuing then the punters will be more than happy, and more likely to give it another go - a drinking fan is a happy fan. Better to have too many staff at first rather than not enough. Edited October 4, 2008 by Underpants
BWFCOLINH58 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 a stall selling official / unofficial merchandise. the reebok is sadly lacking in badge/flag/scarf/ t-shirt selling types . it does not resemble a football ground as you approach the place....
KP Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Agree with all of the suggestions, especially classic games with Dave Higson being blasted out. The Reading game for example just makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, the Reebok would be buzzing well before kick off.

MickyD Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Decent comedian. Agree with the cold beer and no stewards. Think we're more likely to get the recent DVDs ahead of the Roadrunner/Dave Higson stuff.

Better to have too many staff at first rather than not enough. Time is money as they say. Every minute they are not supping is minutes lost profit. A well staffed (plastic) bottle bar at ?2 a go is rapid turnaround for folk who dont want to queue for the draft ale. Making it ?2.10 or ?1.90 is counterproductive because of the time spent arseing around with change. Oh, we need a pitch and toss wall too.
C86 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 perhaps a bus to run earlier than the one that get's you there 10 mins before kick off. well said Frank. eg my route Radcliffe - Reebok has two buses which are never full going, have one an hour/half earlier one usual time.
frank_spencer Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 well said Frank. eg my route Radcliffe - Reebok has two buses which are never full going, have one an hour/half earlier one usual time. i think there is an erlier bus from bury but that seems only to be for those ITK as i can't find owt anywhere. as 2 buses go but 3 come back.
Spider Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 If I may summarise: Cold beer. ?2. Plastic bottles Competent and plentiful staff No orange nazis Flags on the wall, BWFC on the telly Cold Beer. ?2. Plastic bottles Cold Beer. ?2. Plastic bottles Cold Beer. ?2.

Carlos Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 European games on tele. No orange warriors, just smartly dressed staff who have a quiet word with anyone misbehaving. No silly prices. Access to toilets (bet they forget this). Food available, burgers and pies will do. Soft drinks for the kids. Once the atmosphere gets going, feed the sound through to the tunnel outside the changing room.
Smiffs Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Once the atmosphere gets going, feed the sound through to the tunnel outside the changing room. Good idea. Nolan explaining to Riga just exactly what 'Eyes Right' is all about

MickyD Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Diver, don't go out to kidnap some nipper, kids aren't obligatory.
Carlos Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Do we have to have kids in? Yes, although they can't go in unaccompanied by an adult. I expect some people will still moan about this though.
Burndens Bogs Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Yes, although they can't go in unaccompanied by an adult. I expect some people will still moan about this though. Yeh me.Kids are ok but a bit too childish I wouldn't want to be in a big room with 50 kids playing football with the empty plastic bottles.
