Real Ale lounge

Guess the worlds gone corporate, and deals with Heineken, Carlsberg and Carlings bring in the money and kudos, whereas Old Bobs Flem ale can't compete. Can't see someone like Hawkshead Brewery having the clout. Real ale only has a short barrel life too so wasted Monday to Fridays unless the clubs bar is totally revamped and makes people want to visit it. I'm always pished off when I go to a match or concert and its backed by one major brand like Carling, so all you can get is Black Label pish. Guess the height of this was the Buddweiser World Cup! Most people are lager drinkers too, so don't care for real ales. Stick to supporting the local ale houses before the match ?

What about the Protein shake bar?

It can have a few benches with weight racks. Mirrored all around so you can pose, check the guns and take selfies

A little nail bar in the corner where the Seasider ladies can get acrylics done

Way more modern than a sweaty old real ale bar

I was thinking more of a XXX massage parlor.😉

Just don't tell the wife when I come back with a smile on my face after a defeat.😂
 
Memories of a goldfish, some people. We did this one a few months ago. The consensus at the time was it is not a good idea. The consensus also was that there are a lot of posters lacking any decent taste in beer.

Sick of talking about this one, have you ever wondered why every football club doesn’t do it?

Cask beer doesn’t keep beyond 5 days and the waste is horrendous for a football club.

Leyton Orient Supporters Club do it. There are probably others. Cask beer if kept properly is no more wasteful than other kinds.
 
As I understand it, the club did consider a real ale bar in the West Stand, but then decided against it on account of the potential for noxious odours from the excess wind that would emanate from the consumers during the game.

I should add that Ale Heads are free to spend pre-match in the Pump and Trumpton.

Now your talking!
 
A mistake waiting to happen - it’s a football ground not a real-ale hostelry.

None more grumbly than those who would probably miss the entire game through holding their pints up to the light & comparing the ambient temperature of their Badger Piss 5.2% to a pint of Mucky Midshires 4.9% they had in 1987 (‘Now Tommy at the Weasel’s Snatch - he knew how to keep a cellar’), whilst asking for another thimble-full of Bulldog’s Armpit as a taster.

Worse than wine bores.

Tonight you've won the internet. Well done.

More to the point it is absolutely vile warm murky brown stuff drunk by hairy men with beards which equates to about 0.5% of the population.

Well I like the murky brown stuff but, while I have a fine head of hair, the rest of my body is hairless with skin smooth to the touch.

Mmmm. Nice.

I'm going to take a wild guess that their supporters club is open 7 days or nights every week same as the old supporters club at Bloomfield Rd used to be.

Imagine our scenario, you tap and vent your beer on the Friday for Saturday's game, say you have four different casks on (because some like blonde, some like amber etc) and away you go.

Say you have no midweek game on, even if you had back to back Saturday matches, all the beer from the week before will be off come the next game, any idea how much waste that would be? Four casks half full of beer that would be well over 100 pints of beer.

Even if you did had Saturday/Tuesday back to back games, after Tuesday any beer left over ends up down the drain because there's no way you'd be home on the Saturday following back to back home games.

Unless you're selling cask day after day, you'd be throwing your profit down the drain every week.

In the ground doesn't sell real ale.

Nonsense, really? I merely pointed out there are ways of making it work. why not have a supporters bar, and feed from the same lines into the ground.

Its not rocket science.

There are many game this season I would have happily missed, rather spending the time in a real ale bar sipping Bulldogs armpit.

Because we already have a supporters bar across the road which fellow fans have put a hell a lot of investment and time into so no thanks on the club doing it.
You real ale bores just support local businesses plenty of places to drink your shite.👍

Edit and not sure how you think you can pump real ale around a whole football ground is going to work obviously never worked with the stuff.😂

Tranmere and Accy both have excellent real ales in their fanzones. If you buy it by the pin you will have very little waste and you will help to save the nitrogen and carling drinking sheep from themselves. Maybe even turn them from the dark side. Standards! 👍🍺
 
Looking forward to some decent real ale over the weekend & I like a decent lager too. Not fussed about drinking crap beer at the football matches though & have never been. I'll gladly have a few after the game though.

I thought the thread was about a club real ale bar?

Is everything you don't appreciate 'shite'?

I never said it should be pumped around the whole ground, that obviously isn't practical.
 
If you want a real ale bar why don’t you start one? Ask the club to rent you some space, borrow some money for the stools, tables and sawdust and other start up costs and away you go. You’re no doubt put off by the complexity, costs and risk of failure, much like the club and others who have contemplated this desperate enterprise beyond a few nano-seconds.

More out of the fact that I really can’t be arsed. Would be very happy to reward anyone who would with my custom, however
