Problem with real ale is that if it's not used on match days it won't keep. I would imagine that's why stadia avoid them (even if they wante to sell them). Will the supporters bar be open during the week too?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Possibly Attilla's way of telling us that the supporters bar is making progress and that they have agreed to stock real ale - but perhaps he isn't meant to be sharing the news so has leaked it through the "legitimate" posting of a poll? Or perhaps not - maybe everyone knows about the supporters bar.
I stand by my previous post - I still don't see what the point of this poll is. All of the drinks types polled for WILL be provided no matter what. And the 'some of each' option largely destroys the ability to draw anything meaningful from responses.
(A cynic could possibly suggest the point of this thread is a 'oooooh I know something that the rest of you do not'. I'm not that cynic though.)

I am a cynic and as usual this is precisely what this is all about "oh I know something you don't" da di da di da.
Been here so many times now it is beyond a joke.

Last post from me today before I go off and drink lots of beer!
The point of this thread is to get as wide a sample as possible from our fanbase on this question.
It's not a question of basing a business plan on it, merely getting some idea of the ratio (most specifically of ale drinkers to lager drinkers, which we need to get as right as we can because ale, unlike lager, doesn't keep) That's why it'd be good to have this at the top so as many people see it as possible. Of course it is only a sample of our fanbase, but unless someone is going to say that NSC is totally unrepresentative of people who come to Albion games, I think it's a good idea. More importantly, the club do.

im quite happy for the lager, but please not rubbish. Budvar is a good shout, or a simple Becks. just not carling/fosters/stella.
Wheat beer would be my real preference though. why arent they in the poll?

Can I just say that one of the most wonderful things about watching Sussex at the County Ground is being able to have a pint of Harveys from the Jim Parks Bar.
It just seems utterly correct in a way I cannot explain to be drinking your Counties beer while watching your County play.

Been away for 5 minutes for a piss. No vote required as this was personal and not club-related. As it seems to be degenerating into the usual fartfest, can I please be updated?
Has someone flounced yet because:
a - someone seems to know more than they do?
b - someone is doing something for the club and the flouncer was not asked to?
c - someone is doing something active for the club and the flouncer feels unconsulted?
d - they are a knob and generally flounce when it comes to pissing contests anyway?
e - the same old people are raising money for REMF and it's a closed shop - or is that another thread?

Bollocks is it. The club ASKED me to do it. Mr Hut, if you want to snipe at me, do it in person next time you see me instead of being all smiley and polite
Off to the pub!.
This.
Amazing some of the comments on this thread. Is it the end of the world if the club wants to gauge opinion? Probably not..........

Stupid IDIOT
Will THIS be the bar which Attilla puts the £500 behind the bar of for a DRINK or 2 as a RESULT of losing his bet ?
OR will he WELCH out of it with ANOTHER feeble excuse ?

not fussed about ale, although harveys is preferred choice. I agree that the lager option should be some Czec type...Budwar. Other than that, please do not serve Kenco dried shit that passes as coffee/tea etc

why?
nsc has always been home to the "Harveys is the best beer in the world ever, there is no point even considering drinking anything else" dullards.

Dark Star is too variable for me, and Hophead is lethal. Only their Best is OK.
For me it's Harvey's, Stowford for cider, and Becks for lager.

It's interesting the number of people who, while preferring to drink lager (I'm rather partial to a tipple meself), are specifically mentioning that they don't want to see the crap names (Fosters/Carling etc).
Some Bavarian or Czech number, especially on a hot day, would go down just fine.
