AdamRam Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 17 minutes ago, BurtonRam7 said: What concourse has seating arrangements? I’d be surprised if any do, concourses are designated fire escapes and I would have thought therefore won’t be allowed tables and chairs as these could be classed as an obstruction. Plus you put seats in and you take up room from others, it’s a football game, seats and tables in the concourse FFS, we will be asking for waitress service for our prawn sandwiches next ?

Bang on (except you need an apostrophe in it's). Go to Twickenham or the like and they turn the concourse into a party zone after the game. All you need is some student with a guitar and a mike singing Wonderwall and you're in business. Not sure why more clubs don't do this - surely it's the way to go.

David Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @RamNut how about this for a concourse? Plenty of seating to enjoy a half time glass of Chardonnay, able to watch your hot dog being cooked by a 5* Delaware chef, maybe a little Jazz playing in the background to help build the atmosphere ready for the second half.

curb Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 They could very easily put some canopys and a few tables in that bar area at the back of the SS, which would make it a better area, sell some decent beer at reasonable prices, put a marquee up behind the east stand, that would make the match day experience better, Bristol was a great example of what you can do. Also a band SETTING UP in the yard after the game? why would the band not be ready to start on the final whistle, or before the game like everywhere else ever?

sawley_ram Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Went in only once after a game and it was packed, waited 15 minutes to get served and lots of blokes in front waving £20 notes so we thought "bugger this" and went to The Alex which had as many staff on as it did ales. Even had some banter with some Hull fans on their way back when we played them. For me The Yard looks like it should be a totally separate venture as it doesn't really fit in with the pre-match experience. If you want to eat before the game as well, can't we set up some quick, cheap fast food stalls people can buy from before the game? It's like the roof idea as well, I'd rather PP stay as our sacred ground rather than a multi-use, multi-functional arena where one day you have Little Mix playing the next it's match day -- takes the shine away. Of course I'm not at all clued up with any financial benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I must be in the minority - I go for the footie. If I want a drink post match I either go home or to my local. Some people are so easily annoyed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
