eDDie Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I had no idea that Nigeria charged us for the room! I would hope that anyone whose membership has expired either renews or pays up on the door...otherwise you're robbing the very food off Rich and John's dinner table. Not that they are co-habiting. I meant BOTH their dinner tables. Oh god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essix Blue Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 You pay for the room?????? wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowl Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm so glad it's not at Hillsborough - Imagine if we paid for the room - that would have to go into club funds. Or if they let us have the room for free, the profits would go to good causes / smile tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant BOTH their dinner tables. Oh god. We do pay for the room eDDie...so the football card and the entrance fee for non-members is the way we try and claw back some of the room fee to try and at least cover costs, which as a rule we don't actually manage to do week in, week out.

The club are always very good when we use a room at Hillsborough...so any events we do have at SWFC are usually charity ones with smile tickets and / or The Children's Hospital being the benefactors of money raised.

Rich. Would it be rude to ask how much we pay for the hire of the room? Has anyone considered approaching the Niagara committee with a view to a long term arrangement?

33 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Nigeria is a fabulous place, but I tend to agree...! Maybe we could have a lounge under the North. Shame someone can't sort it out...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why won't the club let you have the area in the old gym? Is it a question of who finances the fitting of it into a bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a question of who finances the fitting of it into a bar? No we have suggested that we would fund this - however the club have now done a deal to rent this space out.
