Symptomatic of the issue Sharon is highlighting. But the betting dominance is about to be squeezed, we're just (way) ahead of the curve. Do you reckon it was Sharon's decision, or something the new chaps decided- with her blessing? Happened soon after their arrival, and one of them was interviewed about it.

Hopefully, & the signs are this, the Board are pretty much as one on most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here not had chance to listen yet I'm at Trent Bridge beer festival drinking freaky ales, but they (or someone else) could make a lot of money if they get a match day bar right on Middlebrook.

Something more "adult" than the Fanzone but a bit more polished and deliberate in terms of it being genuinely marketed as a home BWFC fans' pub than Scott's. Decent ale, decent music, old footage etc. Only thing is, would it be in an area of the stadium or a separate unit like where Missoula was and what does it do the other 25+ days in a month when there's no home game on to entice people in on an out of town retail park.

Coast to Coast has closed down and that would make a great sports bar. AFC Fylde have built a great sports bar that has become a destination bar, proper demand when any event is on. Likewise, Wings n Beer in Preston. Decent food and booze will draw people in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perfect place would be in the North Stand to replace Keoghs. Read something on here to say they are moving? Cant see any demand on it being an office ever again. A proper sports bar thats used all year round. Mainly catering for the younger end (burgers, wings etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s used as a normal boozer during the rest of the week but the fans can go in for a pint at half time/full time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 It’s getting there the club are taking onboard fans views 👍, I know a few people say just go to the game and why bother with the catering/bar set up but it all contributes to the matchday experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the sheer numbers going in there, it’s now become a victim of its own success and that extra space elsewhere is needed. Tbh with the lack of away pubs near the ground, I can’t help thinking we’re missing a trick with their spend one way or another, even if it means losing a few spaces on car park A and sticking a tent up.
