NewNestCarrow 203 Posted June 23, 2023 The Nest / Strikers was a pub at the ground. It closed and became Yellows, presumably because it wasn't a success as a pub/bar. The Russell Allison lounge was opened for post-match drinks a number of years ago and was, generally, empty. I've no idea how many weeks they kept it going but I assume the cost of the extra staffing ended this project. And now wer're trying again. Was the project researched? Does the club know how many fans are likely to change their matchday routine? Or have they just chucked a load of money at an idea that ticks a "fan engagement" box?

Let's hope that they don't still think East Coast IPA is proper 'craft beer'... 😉 When did Real Ale become Craft Beer Wolfo ? ....not accusing or blaming you chap just wondering when it happened, or is Craft Beer that mostly over hopped new stuff with silly names and Real Ale is still Real Ale. ?

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 23, 2023 It seems to me there is little have a moan at. Most other grounds I have been to have a take it or leave it policy when selling drinks. If you go to Argyle next season, you will find out why you don't ought to be mooaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewNestCarrow 203 Posted June 23, 2023 2 hours ago, Capt. Pants said: If it's only open on matchdays then wastage might be an issue in so far as choice of ales is concerned. Â I expect the beers will be keg. A venue that is only open one-day-in-fourteen is hardly likely to be serving cask ale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 215 Posted June 23, 2023 As a lower Barclay season ticket holder I am pleased it’s not a free for all before the match, but it’s a good idea to open it to all after the game  Hoping there might be more seating in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried the international tent out the back of the beer festival? Some interesting world lagers and fizzy, hoppy little numbers to be found out there. That's where I spend most of my time, to be fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wibble 109 Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I actually thought a new boozer was opening close to the ground, dammit. So this is a bar replacing a bar inside the ground ?  Ok so read it properly, can be acessed from outside the ground. Sounds very much like the american way of making more of a day experience rather than 90 mins.  Good luck to em, always wondered why a proper bar wasnt in the ground. Just need one for everystand now. Edited June 23, 2023 by Wibble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
