Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

see fishy site - bar re-opens!!!!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

can't look on fishy site at work but read it on the osc site... great news, however, may have an impact on exhib launch on how many we can let in...suppose it depends on the responses to osc invites!!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

just to re-iterate - all OSC members will shortly be receiving an official invitation to the media launch of the Exhibition, there is a number on there to RSVP so please do so. I would hate anybody to travel some distance hoping to be there and then find that the bar is full and the doors shut.

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Please help me guys !! [and girls] Eric has said we can give beer away but i don’t know how many will take up the offer, if we can fill the lounge i may be able to persuade him to allow it to be open to supporters for every match and return it to the pre-match venue it used to be, if that’s what you all want? :)
I am new to this job so i would appreciate some help! with your support i will move things in the right direction. We are all creatures of habit and i am not going to change something that i feel is working ok, but i will change something that is not, or can be improved.
Respect and gratitude are two key areas that will be shown by the commercial department and as we are the window to the club for the supporters i hope you will appreciate us being grateful for all your efforts.

So its clubhouse at 12 for the free pint and then straight on to the Oaklea. :) ;)

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

If the books are available I suggest you look at the figures over the past three/four seasons for the clubhouse. Last season was a dogs cock to be honest because it was open one week then shut the next. People got sick of it and found other places to go for a pre-match drink. Previous to that it always seemed to be reasonably full pre-match but then again you could walk straight out on the terrace at 3pm so maybe that would affect it as well. If the truth be known nobody knows until you've tried but I think it will take a few weeks for it to return if indeed it does. But it also takes the edge off the OSC offer to open the bar to the fans for the Brentford match :(

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Macca,

Give the guy a break:)


Dave's doing a fantanistic job, for the love of it!

Already he's seen the fact that the corporate in the clubhouse is not the total answer.

He is trying to get the fans more involved in the club.

Sorry if his idea has taken a little away from the exhibition launch; all Dave is trying to do is get maximum income for ASFC, OUR CLUB.:)

As you say people are creatures of habit, club open to all Saturday, club open to all v Brentford, hopefully club open to all for next two home matches (low key & winnable Wycombe + Lincoln) HABIT RESTORED, bar takings up, gates up, EW happy, 4 games unbeatan, EVERYBODY HAPPY!!!:rolleyes:

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

I'll be in on Saturday, used to like a few beers in there before the game

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

I give 'im a break!!!!

that's why there was a :( (frown) rather than a :mad: (mad) not having a go :) smiley face


advice given on looking at the books to go back to the days when it was used and we had no problems with the bar. Crowds have not significantly altered since the Conference winning season, habits may have done, regulations have done. But looking to that season will give an indication of what was being done over the bar at the time.


BTW, with the bar open again can we now have the OSC shop?

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

How many covers are normally sold for an average match?
It is a good facility that must be utilised to the max!
In which direction that is a very difficult question
I do have my own ideas but that is for another day

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

macca,
i dont think it will take the edge off at all, if it atracts 50 extra people this week they may come early enough next week as well, if it gets the support we may give you the same deal next week???, which again will help your event. Work with me, be positive.

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

no worries matey - positive it is!

IMHO whatever works best for the club works best for me. I like a beer so I like the clubhouse, open every week works fine for me. It was noted by one or two that paying for the priviledge of re-opening the bar for the Brentford match and then ...... but as pointed out we are only paying for the Sponsorship of the game and it DOES suit our purpose more for the bar to be open as a matter of course.

Lets pretend that we put the idea in your head and lobbied for the re-opening permanently and then every body is happy. Forever. And I want buy two get two free! :cheers:

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Macca,

Sorry, just had a PM from another top lady, defending your good works:)

The gates may be similar to the conference days BUT the regulations, safety aspect have totally changed and will stay that way FOREVER!!

Pendle Red,

Ask Dave & Lew what the useage of the corperate is/was, obviously minimal hence the re-think.


Macca,

OSC shop, good point, ask Rob tomorrow

Keeping similing, keep the faith:)

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Ha ha me thinks stanleymad has him running scared now :D oh bless I taught her well ;)

EDIT: can't be her, she's not been online since this morning don't know any other top stanley ladies!!! cos it weren't me

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

probably me missus! oh hang on she can't use my computer!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

:rofl38: erm cant claim fame to that but the clue was 'another top lady' - i must be one of the top ladies [yes i was taught very well indeed wasn't i HR :D:D:D]

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Let's keep this on thread and not drift off in to fantasy land please :rolleyes:

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Ladies on top

or ladies' tops?

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Pendle Red,

Ask Dave & Lew what the useage of the corperate is/was, obviously minimal hence the re-think.


I thought that is what I had done with the first line of my post:confused:

From small acorns etc.:)

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

what like burnley beating arsenal:D:D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

It's nearly impossible that Burnley will beat Arsenal, BUT it's still more realistic than certain female members on this thread becoming ladies :p

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

:D:Dnot getting involved i will only get battered like a fish:D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Hmmmm think I will stay out of this :rolleyes:

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Well what happened - place was dead from 12:20ish till about 14:15, giving beer away and still no-one goes in.
Think this needs a bit more advertising, whilst stood at the bus stop I overheard 2 old geezers talking about trying to get in last week, they got into the ground early and felt cold and decided to go into the club house for a warm, they got stopped at the door and asked - are you "just ordinary supporters" when they said yeah they got told they couldn't go in because it was private, they weren't impressed at not being able to get into the club house but felt worse about being called "just ordinary supporters" the way they talked about the place being run I'm surprised they even turned up today.

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Disgusting!!! A supporter is a supporter as long as the clubhouse lets in away supporters that are friendly i wouldnt mind. No-one was going to go in the club house today when it is dead an to be honest not very good , people will pay money for a beer at the oaklea etc. Just because you got a token for a free beer after youve bought one wont make more people come in and especially at 12! Its a bit early!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

An old bloke on the Manchester bus who comes all the way from Whitefield to watch us told me exactly the same story today. He's a life season ticket holder and he made a £200 donation to the club last season, but he's just an "ordinary supporter". :rolleyes:

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Why's 12 to early :thepint: :confused: :thepint: :D

I forgot to mention the away supporters!
Went outside for my 1st fag and was talking to ozzy who was on the door, he turned a few away supporters away as they weren't allowed in but pointed them in the direction of the Crown, same again with my 2nd fag when another guy was on the door, still turned some away when I was coming out, all this is money/revenue being lost, fair enough making it home supporters only for busy local derby's and teams who have known trouble makers, how many away games have you been too and been allowed in "their" clubhouse??

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Possibly the same fella WH, he got off the Hyndburn circular bus and got on the X40/41?? for Manchester

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

And I don't want to make it look like I went for the free beer either, I didn't get one, it was for bitter and lager only, I drink Guinness

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Yep, that's the guy, Ken. He's a nice fella is Jack and very keen but he was somewhat disgruntled at being labelled an "ordinary supporter". Another Google Page Ranking own goal!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

No supporter is an ordinary supporter. They are a supporter of a football team, someone who spends their hard earned cash on coming to a football match, paying their wages.

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

So did anyone get their free pint then??????? By sounds of not many did, its not good that supporters get turned away from their own clubhouse bar!!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

I despair, I really do. :(:(:(

I have to go in clubhouse before next home game, but they can stick their beer. :mad::mad::mad:

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Yeah lots got a free beer, the bitter and lager drinkers, I wasn't gonna start drinking that s***e just to get a free pint though :D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Right, well, I've OK'd my invite with Gayle for the "Club That Wouldn't Die" launch before the Brentford match. I just hope there's no hassles getting in!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

I'm on the door Wynonie!

if you name's Russell your not getting in - thats me nacked then!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

That's alright then, Macca, at least I stand a chance of getting in.

As for this Russell feller you're talking about, I'll be expecting him to buy me a pint for being a good and faithful "ordinary fan"!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Until you start talking politics in which case you'll be thrown out!

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Does this mean i cant come Gayle? :D:D:D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Same rule applies - you can come in - just don't mention the P word!!!! :D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

The Halo is lit up at night now .......... hows that? no mention of the P word!!! :D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
 

Ha, I should have said don't mention the P word or the other P word!!!!! :D

Re: Eric gets the round in !!!!!! **shock story**
