New stadium - PUBS?

Guest · Mar 27, 2006

Pulling down the Rusty Bucket / Invisible Man looks like a bad idea in hindsight.

Without an unwelcoming, locals pub in close proximity the Fossets Farm matchday experience is going to seem a bit sterile.

That sort of reputation takes years to cultivate, it doesn't just happen overnight.

Comments?

Shuttle bus service from the Spread.

Simple answer...

Uncle Ron will have to build us a couple of new boozers on site.

What with the new site being a bit isolated, I'd say 90%+ of people wishing to have a few beverages before and after the game would drink on site if there was drinking establishments there.....plenty of money to go in the clubs coffers I feel...

Come on Ron, you know it makes sense!

Ive seen people move Houses because of fault lines developing or coastal erosion... Why can't we just dig up the Spread/Railway and cart it over to FF?

Opening a pub on-site will get the old Karers up in arms , and would it get any use on days other than match-days ? It would not be a viable proposition to just open occassionally. If the whole place was to be like that nice Festival Park in Bas it would be fine but I can't see the Council allowing such mass development there.

The Railway is probably the nearest boozer to FF , but it still a fair hike away.
I like the idea of moving a pub completely to the new ground.

shuttle buses from the Spread, it's gotta be.

or a pub / bar next to Waitrose?

How about the Bar inside Boots and Laces? Perhaps they could open that up to members on Match days?

And what about non-members?

Maybe - but it'd be very soulless by comparison to the Spread experience...
