East Stand 1901 Club - where is the area which was set aside for the supporters bar?

[Pork Knuckle Pete]

Another 400 seats to go on sale in the East Stand apparently. I heard that the area set aside for a cafe/supporter's bar is to be kitted out for the hospitality. Does anyone know where this is though?

 

[clippedgull]

Interesting news, where did you hear about the additional 400 seats?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

East Stand?

I thought the majority of that stand was going to be set aside for Families?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

think you'll find a lot more chaps turning up rather than families. could be interesting.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Plenty of drinking holes for supporters around the ground as I understand it. Do we really need a "fans bar"?

In all honesty I thought that idea was a bit, well shit.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Yeah - I heard some people talking about this on Saturday. The 'supporters bar' has been commandeered to use as the [East] 1901 hospitality area, they were saying.

As TMLS says though - there will be other places to meet and drink, so can't see its an issue really. What is a 'supporters bar' anyway? As opposed to the other 20 bars, for er...supporters.

Maybe we could have a "one off bar" where we can meet Doncaster, Wrexham and of course Aston Villa fans when (and if) we play them.

People could wear their special hats and scarves for the event.

Does Atilla know?

 

[Superphil]

Supporters bar is in the North Stand is it not?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I dont give a TOSS what he thinks quite frankly.

 

[Pork Knuckle Pete]

Does Atilla know?

I'm sure he does. He has been instrumental in fighting for real ale to be served in what now turns out to be a new 1901 hospitality suite.... has he not?

 

[Buzzer]

Not surprised if true. Health and Safety alone would necessitate it. I don't know if anyones ever walked past the Evening Star on match day but you can smell the old mens' farts from outside the pub. The last thing we want is all our rich prawn sandwich brigade needing medical attention because a bunch of 'real' fans drinking 'real' ale cause a major gas alert from a combination of fart juice and getting over-excited about a Brighton/St Pauli/Donny Rovers threeway love in.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Surely supporters bars are at noddy clubs anyway. Not where there are 000s of fans. Correct me if Im wrong but Im sure places like the Emirates dont have a supporters bar..?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Supporters bar is in the North Stand is it not?

Family Stand is in the East Stand is it not?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Family Stand is in the East Stand is it not?

There are to be 400 new 1901 seats released in the East Stand as well. There was some stuff posted on here last week about it.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Cool, more money in the coffers.

While I sort of agree with your sentiment, the difference is that Ashburton Grove et al has consumers, not supporters.

Without Albion supporters, there wouldn't be a ground, or a club. If 10,000 people decide to stop going to 'the Emriates', there's another 10,000 gullible idiots waiting to fill their place.

We don't have that luxury. There are plenty of areas in the stadium to have a beer but I do hope we stock some decent stuff, and not pisswater.

Hopefully, all the bars will feel like a proper supporters' area.
