Improving the bar

maccawozzagod · 01-11-2006, 22:01

The bar has obviously gone down hill this season with respect to takings. The OSC think this is one area where we can really help the club and maybe raise a bit of funds along the way. I would like to see a monthly night organised by our new social club committee (yet to be officially formed) to fill the bar for at least one night a month. Saturday night can usually be discounted and maybe friday because of functions that are booked. But would you go out on a thursday night? Thursday in town has become a good night out recently but there would be nothing to stop you going to our event and then on into town.

What night do you think would be best to maximise attendance?

What or who would you like to see?

It will happen.

Think the problem on thursday night is "student night" so may not be everybodys ideal plan and with people working on a friday, whats wrong with booking with the club for a friday or saturday?? doesnt have to be a birthday party does it, if we can get a decent amount of people then why not

I know it might be boring but quiz nights get people out. If you make it a regular thing you can make a bunch of money - have a raffle as well.

booking a weekend is not a problem as such, but, the point of the nights would be to increase the bar takings. Any event needs to be publicised and it would be better if it was the same night every time. If we booked a friday or saturday we could potentially be taking away a birthday/christening/wedding. I wouldn't think that 'student night' would affect us too much as most of our fan base (who would attend such events) are slightly older. But it would be good if we held our own event targetting students.

"student night" you're having a laugh!!!
I thought Rob was talking fund raising where people with money contribute to a worthy cause..........
not peniless layabouts talking about which red suits the communist flag the best!!!

Ultras used to run a games night with trophies. Playstation, Darts, Pool. This was a relative success. Now your asking for ideas. I am finding it hard to understand why you drop a good earner then look for other ideas?

So he goes from a night that attracts people and makes money to no night and needing ideas and you think that is better.

Irony is you in a parka listening to northern soul telling me I live in a time warp.

stanerlee · 02-11-2006, 10:11

irony is you being a W***** and breathing fresh air!!!! my music has n'owt to do with ASFC or you .

How about a regular Northern Soul night then, at least you'd get 1 old person there, and no students.

Northern Do's attract hundreds. King st was sell out earlier this year so it might not be so bad. Good thought if it stops our above friends coming.
