Ultras nights were not necessarily the success that you make it out to be. Same people having to go every time, spend all day away from the family on the one day of the week that you get at home, spend £30 each and the whole day/night raises about £100 for Ultras funds, then people question where it goes etc. Therefore it is not done as often now. But no doubt it will. I am looking for events that put 200 people in a room for the night, spending over 2k on the bar and raising a few hundred quid for OSC funds.

Oi!!! You two shove off will you!!!

We're trying to have a decent thread about getting people into the sports bar for a night out once a month, not bickering like muppets over an avatar!!

Thread hijacking is not acceptable!!!!

Re: Improving the bar
 

I think what macca is looking for is what people would like to see entertainment wise.

Karaoke

Artiste

Quiz

Bands

Specialist Evenings (ladies night/mens night etc.)

Re: Improving the bar
 

At a footy club I was with,we used to have 'gambling' nights.Crown and Anchor was there but the main attraction was 'horse racing';A large board(say abit bigger than a ping pong table) was marked out as 6 lanes (like an athletics track) and 'jockeys' would move their model nags in response to the throw of the oversized dice. Horses for each race were named after people within the club -e.g." # 4 THE CHAIRMAN- by MACCA out OF WEDLOCK" and the club wag would commentate.Use 'funny money' and punters can redeem it at the end ,or have auctions. These were very popular and the club made several $$$ from the 'tote'.

Re: Improving the bar
 

A couple of ideas for you

Stars in their Eyes night

Karaoke Competition

Fancy Dress Theme nights, 50's 60's 70's etc

:D

Re: Improving the bar
 

How about a band night?
Nothing like Accy rockers though please!!
Decent bands approved by the new OSC committee after auditions.
Could even dissuade a lot of people into decent music away from town on a thursday.

Oi, wot's rong wiv stoodents?! :D

Re: Improving the bar
 

Jazz club night??

Re: Improving the bar
 

now we're getting somewhere!! keep em coming, all ideas can be used (and most will be) but the original ones will be looked into a bit more.

One thought is that the club holds about 200, £5 a do gives us £1000 to find an entertainer. If we got somebody for about £700 we should get a top quality act and £300 quid for the OSC, as well as a full bar. Jim Davidson? Bernard Manning, strippers (male and female - separate nights) etc.

Curry night?

Help me out folks, look at other supporters club sites and see what they up to, I've looked at a few and everybody seems to be active.

Re: Improving the bar
 

we have a big screen. blue movie night. guaranteed sell out.

Re: Improving the bar
 

Just developing on my idea, how about a battle of the bands type night?

Obviously less Americanised, but it would be cheaper than finding just one entertainer as you get a few bands to play then give the winner a cash prize.

Could be a monthly thing & something very profitable.

Re: Improving the bar
 

What you've also got to take into account is the location.

i.e.

Crown Pub - Quiz on a Monday Night, Artist on Fri & Sat nights.

Hare & Hounds - Quiz on Thursday night, DJ on Friday. Artist alternate Saturdays.

Grey Horse - Quiz on Wednesday night.

Oaklea (from 15 Dec 06) - Quiz Tuesday night, DJ / Artist Friday & Saturday nights, alternate weeks (DJ / Artist after Xmas).

If you book the club bar, then why not make sure that it is for the night after a match. That way it can be announced before, during & after the home games (especially on the day of the function as a reminder).

Race nights always go down well, 50% of the bet takings going to the OSC & 50% to cover the cost.

If you want to get students to come along, then why not look at student bands. These are relatively cheap, because they are usually glad to have a venue to play in. Also they usually have a good following of family & friends.
