Falmer: Supporters' bar/beer/music/PA update

[8ace]

I reckon he should match John's £500 behind the bar.

It would be the decent thing to do.

Sounds about right

Attila is a BHA legend and his music taste is also quality. Thanks mate for all your efforts for the Albion over the years - you're appreciated

Can't speak for programme sellers, but litter patrollers do NOT get any reduction on season tickets. They have had occasional priority for away tickets and one invitation to the boardroom for hospitality. Because of sponsorship of the equipment and the provision of bins at Withdean by McDonalds, they also get a voucher for McDonalds if they want it, but they are essentially volunteers, helping the club fulfill the commitment it made when planning permission was granted for the use of Withdean Stadium.

Thanks for putting me straight. I was misinformed as to the 'benefits' of being on the litter patrol.

Much of the litter around the area comes from the shoddy recycling pick ups. Frequently they leave bits scattered all over the place in my folks' road and beyond. Not forgetting to mention the flytippers along Tongdean Lane.

If I had £500 then I would but I dont i'm afraid. Nice try tho!

Wow! I have just waded through 12 pages of bitch slapping and whilst it is mildly amusing in some parts I have to say as an outsider who never has and never will meet any of those involved, one or two of you gentlemen have made considerable fools of yourselves.

Some people have naturally big personalities. It can be irritating but inherently it is neither good nor bad. For sure, to make a real difference in many situations a presence helps and if like any one of us they seek to garner some small reward or feelgood from their contribution, why not? It certainly doesn't merit the venom expressed by those few who, frankly, come across as envious rather than having any element of right on their side.

Music not to your taste? Put your headphones on.
Pictures and Poems on a wall? You can walk past.
Choice of beers? Drink it or not.
You choose.

But they will all be there because when others did nothing, someone took some initiative. And guys..........it wasn't you

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Like Buzzer I only ever had a problem with the music and the fact it would never fit in at Falmer and it did seem rather self indulgent.

Yea right.

 

[Lokki 7]

Thought exactly the same thing. Lokki up next

Nah, don't think so.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Oh, another of the have a go mob. As above. Care to say it to my face?

he's a melt end of !

 

[Dover]

Nice one Atilla. Now enjoy yourself on the North Stand.

 

[Trigger]

Any chance of some STOWFORD PRESS?

Programme Sellers also on the same deal, do NOT get any reduction on season tickets. Also have had occasional priority for away tickets.
But....... we don't get an invitation to the boardroom for hospitality !!!!

I want, i want :US:

Never missed a game at Withdean selling programmes( well a few )
and this is how I'm treated ........................

Can't say I agree with Atilla that Heineken is a good lager - when I worked behind the bar at Gatwick I always felt slightly embarrased offering it ( although it's not as bad as the Skol we served ) but I always went for the Lowenbrau when I got the chance.

So if no Lowenbrau or Kronenberg 1664 I'll stick with what's in the bottles I think.

I refer the right honorable left wing activist to my post regarding alternative drinks to that served in the supporters bar as discussed above.

Could you answer this please.

[grummitts gloves]

Fosters Rules!

[attila]

Nah, don't think so.

Noted, banker.

Dave, I'm not wading through all of this any more, I want to put it to bed, I can't find your suggestion, sorry. What we need to do is prove to the club and the catering people that we can fill the bar and sell the beer they are providing to begin with (I don't think that will be a problem!) and then we will be in a good position to make requests for more varieties of all drinks provided....

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

250 doesn't strike me as very big - any idea what the capacity of Boots 'n' Laces at Torquay is since, for quite a few years, that was the place we always said "it would be fab if we had something like this" about.

That said, of course, we'll have super duper concourse areas which Torquay do not. And our ground holds 3 or 4 times as many as theirs.

Spot on - that's the best supporters bar I have come across.

 

[Bob!]

Apologies if it got personal that truly wasnt the intention ....

I notice your signature has changed recently
