DAN BWFC Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 There's a lot to be said for the Flying Flute experience (cheap ale, good atmosphere, nice and warm, conveniently located) - but yesterday at Molineux was a day to cherish (cheap ale in Wolverhampton town centre and good banter before the game, fantastic atmosphere, sheer joy). I think yesterday the real value for money was being there and from what I hear there were a few in the Flute yesterday who'll be swopping over to the Reebok next saturday.
Mounts Kipper Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Its great watching when you can't get to an away game but usually better to be there, no doubt that it is killing our support at home and away and the big reason for thousands of empty seats right across football, in the long run there has to be a big rethink, ticket prices will have to hit sub ?10 to get fans back and matches live on sky even less.
Zico Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Watched in the bridge in horwich, surprised by the lack of numbers in there One of them games i wished I was there and no mistake Got my aways lined up though this season so don't feel bad about it Had we lost I'd have been glad it was 5 min walk home
Whites man Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Watched it in the pub yesterday, it was worth it just for the bollocking Enzo dished out to a kid who blamed Jussi for their second goal.
Whizz Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Flute has the shittest ale in town. I only watch the game if I have no other alternative and then I drink bottles at ?3-00+ a throw.

Whilst i wholeheartedly agree with this Mounts I don't see this as ever happening and yes there is a killing the golden goose argument. Regarding tickets prices the likes of us and clubs in a similar predicament, I feel that there is little choice but to look at this option. The English National Opera a few years back face a huge deficit despite massive subsidies so they put their prices up. Result? Deficit that was even larger. Finally, they put the prices down and as a result began to have packed houses and gradually went into profit.
Zico Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) whilst in the bridge, i also noticed a big night coming up might go, be just like in pheonix nights I'm getting the word.... nonce Christine, the landlady, was sporting a lovely black eye yesterday apparently they've been hosting loads of 18th birthday parties there recently one of them kicked off she tried to intervene and got decked by some lad Horwich and proud me Edited November 15, 2010 by ZicoKelly
Carlos Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Remember them cup games where they sold out and put a screen up on Burnden? Wolves and Derby? "Are you watching Burnden Park?", maybe it's time for a "are you watching Flying Flute?" song.
leigh white Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Having to get my live football fix, i have to watch Non League due to being out of work, at Lancaster on Saturday, a good mate from Great Lever was getting us updates from the Doghead Arena.
Bobcat Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Watched it in the pub yesterday, it was worth it just for the bollocking Enzo dished out to a kid who blamed Jussi for their second goal. Why? he came for the 2nd and got nowhere near it... If he stayed on his line he stood half a chance of it not getting through between the defender on the line and him dropping to his knees...
