Mounts Kipper Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I’ve not been to the fanzine yet but it looks quality, is there any cover roof and sides for the games when it’s lashing it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much protection from the elements, yet, but it's a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About an hour before kick-off it was only about 6/7 deep, got served within 5 mins. Mate of mine got a Nam-Ploy tub of noodles and loved it. The black clouds looked very ominous at one stage - not sure how we would have all taken shelter under 3 gazebos! Didn’t mind the Sax guy (during the times he was able to sort himself out to play!) David Lee and SJM spoke for a bit (but I couldn’t hear them! 😂) Memory might be playing tricks from Saturday - but I don’t think they had 2 screens then? Anyway a 2nd screen will be good when there’s a live game on. One observation from our lot talking about how close it is to the walk-over bridge, which should make it interesting when we have large followings coming off the train…let’s see on Saturday… Anyway all in all a pretty positive start for the Fanzone I would say. Cheers, Sounds like little changes have been made from the Wycombe game which tbf they said would happen, think it’s this Saturday the candy floss & Prosecco tents are in operation all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been crying out for the kind of thing for years. Are you even running a proper football club if you've not got a Prosecco bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr CEO must think there’s a market for it You ain’t going to get many more matches with decent weather, supping Prosecco on a cold Tuesday night in a tent won’t hold up well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonk Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The Crofters had a Gin trailer - for the 15 minutes or so I was in there, queuing for no lager then just wandering around looking at what was on offer I didn't notice a single customer - there was certainly no queue, and only a couple of gin glasses on the tables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Bottle/can bar would be better, as would the provision of Guinness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I believe the club have now waived the £200 pitching fee for the businesses that are selling stuff in there for the next 6 games or so. They'll make a tidy profit in the next couple of games, but it'll be interesting to see how busy it'll be when winter sets in ... unless, of course, they weather-proof it and add some heating.

A bottle/can bar for sure. Guinness yes, but only draught for me, and I'm not sure a dedicated Guinness pourer would get enough work. A bloke collecting rubbish last night with one of them grabbers was telling people to get to the gin tent if it'sa quick drink you're after, no queues there.

mickbrown Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 What's happening with the hotel? Is it just season ticket holders only still?
