DeeJayOne Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The Wednesdayite bar needs sorting out though.Hopefully we will have some news on that in the next couple of weeks - unfortunately things haven't progressed as quickly as we'd like, but there are good reasons for that!

Plonk Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Wonder if the plans for the north stand include better bar facilities. If they did, and it was done right it would get people in. But standing on a drafty corridor drinking overpriced poor quality ale served by a fool isnt going to get people in early is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 One glance at the situation regarding pubs nationally should be a simple answer to the reason NOT to buy into the licensed trade.Pubs are shutting at an ever increasing rate, and a pub whose main income would be 20 x 2hr sessions annually is a none runner.

uptheowls69 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've said all along that we need a pub instead of the beer porta-cabin between the Kop and the South Stand (that should be open tonight). You could have it split in two so that one side of the bar is for people on the Kop before the match and half time and the other half is for walk in people milling around the ground before the game that can be accessed by anyone from the other side.The whole pub could then be open on certain nights during the week aswell for live Sky Matches/games nights etc.We could actually call it Hirsty's and hold those Hirsty nights in there aswell in a proper boozer!

Geedee Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Never happen. Tellys are too small and bar staff can't add up.Bigger tvs and paying an extra couple of quid an hour for decent staff sounds cheaper than buying a pub.I've said all along that we need a pub instead of the beer porta-cabin between the Kop and the South Stand (that should be open tonight).

Safe environment for a beer, all the profits going to the club. A target market for selling others things too , I am trying to think of a downside and can't . Over to you Lee.

Guest OwlertonG Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Met my mate up at the junction of Far lane and Dykes Hall road. Loads of bemused OWLS up there looking at the shut down pub. Get it bought and reopened as an official SWFC pre/post match pub, would make a killing if it was branded as such.Villa have done it, Randy Learner made it a priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supa Owls Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Pubs such as the Beehive and the Jockey are controlled by companies such as Punch Taverns and Enterprise inns who are basically property developers To acquire a premies off either company would be a nightmare, what they are currently in the process of doing is selling off there under performing pubs to repay debts which you might think sounds great, and SWFC could steal themselfs a bargain! But what they are doing is de-licensing the premises and selling them with contracts to prevent anybody re-opening them as Pubs, and in fairness anyone wanting to do that in the current climate would be taking a HUGE gamble.And if you think i'm talking rubbish, take the Deerstalker pub in Stannington recently sold by Punch Taverns in the face of loads of complaints by residents and it's gunna be a Gym or something. Sure the Star covered it not long backSWFC to develop an area within the Ground is a far more attractive option to look at Buying a pub ?

Non-Starter Back of the kop is plenty of space for a building to be developed.Also a structure errected above the car park (south/kop) would be perfect, that way the car park would remain just below, a sort of pub on stilts if you will. Theres always the option of a learn to drink room in one of the new classrooms on the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
