Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 16, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2012 No fanzone this weekend v Swansea due to a function at night. I'd love to know what they actually do that can't be done between 3 O'Clock and the start of an evening function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry_VIII Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Do people genuinely think the club would close a revenue making scheme for no good reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOWTUN BAKED Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yes, of course. So, how many parties have you planned then? I used to be the food & beverage Manager in a 5 Star Hotel, that regularly held functions daily for anything upto 500 people in the main function room, upto 300 in the smaller function room & 200 in the smallest function room. Including conferences where they'd be using the rooms during the day for presentations & the like, then turn it round for the Night meal & celebrations etc...... I could go on, but I hope you've got the general gist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, they'll not be doing this without reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOWTUN BAKED Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 See post 7# Hmmm. I'm still sticking with options b,c & d. From post 5# I'll use the Hotels P&L & large loses for the last few years as Evidence A in my defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, they'll not be doing this without reason. I see your children/football types & raise you Gypsy weddings... the stories I could tell. TBH, once again I wish I hadn't said anything, there's always someone who thinks the sun shines out of our clubs arse, they can do no wrong etc etc... ...Oh, unless it's the ticket office. There's no fanzone v Swansea cos it's the ticket office's fault, will that work for you~? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's the 'One Bolton' game this weekend with various activities before and after the game. I'd imagine that said event would be part of that. And would be quite likely to start upon the final whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 What is this One Bolton malarky? Can we all go then? I'm guessing the do (if that's what the function in the fanzone even is) will be for donors and big wigs. There's cheap match tickets for everyone, with youth groups and junior sports clubs able to get free tickets. Last year iirc there were activities for the kiddies before the game. Usually if there's a council do at the bok DeVeres foot the bill as a bit of a pr exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
