Question Far Post Bar - Potential Live Screenings of Last Two Away Games

[Blues4LifeDan]

Free coaches to Gateshead would be a far better if you ask me, especially if we need something from that game we should be having our fans there.

I get this premise but if we qualify for the playoffs, we still have games to play. As much as qualifying for the playoffs would be an achievement, it's not the end and nothing has been won.

We may have to play two away games in the playoffs, all off which will be long distance. It will be a quick turnaround and they will be night games too, so getting transport will be very difficult. It would be much better to put on any free coaches for those games I feel.

If enough people respond could they wheel out the big screen an open the East Stand?

£5 a pop - could easily get 300 for that

So thats £1500.
What will it cost them to open it, wheel out the big screen, staff it, and clean it at the end? If it's less than £1500 I'd be astonished.

 

[Shrimper]

Nothing coming from this?

Feel regardless of Friday people would possibly be interested

 

[Supershrimper]

I think this would be something that would happen a lot more once the new East Stand is built with whatever lounge / bar facilities they build in there.

 

[Shrimper]

Don't think they need to worry about numbers now

 

[Shrimper83]

So is this still a possibility for Gateshead?

It’s got to be. They’ll get great numbers imo

 

[Supershrimper]

Win at Wealdstone and regardless of how Gateshead perform it's still in our hands. We then have to go to Gateshead and win.

Halifax aren't out of it either. 3 points behind but better goal difference now.

Can't believe a poor managemnt team has got an even poorer team of football players to still be on with a shout of the play offs with 2 games to go.

I'll ask Tom Lawrence tomorrow evening when we meet for the Supporters Group Forum.
I feel there could be the numbers, I'd be one for sure as I can't travel due to other commitments but could fit in the game at Roots Hall and there are probably others in the same boat...

Had a quick look on DAZN and all the last day games are being streamed and a bar/club subscription is £399 per month so it may stack up... I'll ask the question...

Could they buy an individual match? Get the big screen and sell out the East Stand.

I’d 100% go to a screening at RH as have work very early on the Tues. I can’t sack off work before anyone asks .. could be a great earner and (almost) as good as being there.

What bout flights from southend to Newcastle? An option??

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

To charter a plane would cost a huge amount up front and then work out at at least £400 per person return. Can't see it being viable.

 

[undercovershrimper]

There are two flights from Heathrow to Newcastle that will get you there in time for the game, with a return at 1915, cost with BA is £290

Currently £143 return on BA but very early flight out.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Currently £143 return on BA but very early flight out.

Better off flying out Monday morning and staying over returning Tuesday. £89 return.

A alternative route of Stanstead to Edinburgh on Monday morning and train to Newcastle and back again same day is about £140 return all in.

It's doable but tight.

Either way I'll be supping pints in Benidorm for the Gateshead and watching on my phone.

I recall that RM put on free coach travel to Doncaster one of his better decisions which was taken up in big numbers.Unfortunately we were heavily beaten which doesnt bode well

To be fair, he did it a few times, and I’m pretty certain we lost every match he did it for.
