Crown

But it wasn't mainly for away fans last season.. Benny and Barbera had an open door policy and it was home and away fans.. They never made it away fans only.

However you do ask a good question..

Away fans get to the ground a lot earlier than home fans. Just like we do when we go away. They go in the crown because it's nearest and everyone tells them to go there. They fill it up. Then when the home fans try to get in it's full. Thats not the landlords fault..

What will change next season do you think ? Do they not serve away fans and lose money or let them in and it fills up so theres no room for home fans.

Even when we where not getting many away fans the crown wasn't packed pre game.. With no clubhouse anymore the chances are it will be busier.. But not from 11 or 12 am and thats when away fans start to arrive.. If you don't serve them you lose 2 or 3 hours busy custom waiting for stanley fans to arrive.

Whats the answer?
 
I think they will more than likely make it open doors. Saturdays when i have been in the crown recently was like walking into a pub at an away day so i will probably stick to a quick one before game at either oaklea or crown rather than spending dinner onwards there now the sports bar has gone prawn sandwich.
 
I have always been Crown then Clubhouse but all the time in the Crown it has always been good banter with the away fans, not forgetting there is quite a big outside space at the side of the Crown which is where I normally head if it is a semi decent day.:):)

Nice post Mr. K (see above)

At Walsall we paid £1 to sign into their clubhouse, and were warmly received once in. Away supporters may be glad to pay a quid to see the memorabilia, and then have the banter with the friendliest supporters in league football. ;)

[ Terms and conditions apply. ]
 
The problem is still there.. What happens when the pub is full of away supporters before we even get there..Paying a quid doesn't mean it wont be full to the rafters at 2pm.. The one at walsall is massive (brill grub) and we paid to go into many others... FGR for example :)
 
dont worry everything will fall into place .everybody wants to give all their beer money to stanley so we just have to get to the crown earlier.make the greyhound for away supporters:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:Banane49:

Yes, agree. It's an issue for debate, and ultimately the club. But now the Club get the income, it's better to maximise turnover, doesn't matter where the shekels come from. But if home supporters feel pushed out that's another thing. Would £2 keep the hordes at bay?

Would all home supporters have to be members of OSC?

Points for debate Mr.K, not solutions. :) (welcome back BTW)

I shouldn't get involved anyway, I feel if I drink before a game I'm letting the team down. (Sad but true :o)

Afterwards is obviously very different. :drink:

Greyhound is a very cheap pint, though. :Banane19:
 
This could be the answer to your pray's,put a large beer tent up and have a snack bar on the car park behind the away end stand for match days this way you have away fans all in one place and stanley make money and the crown remains mainly for home fans:Banane45::Banane45::):)

You and Hilda are into palindromes then, Oggy ?

So am I, so I expect Tony Blair's resignation speech tomorrow to contain the following admission :-

PM: "I was a wimp"

:eek:all that fuss over a letter!! ;) still think a beer tent would work and bring in much needed extra money to the club:):banjump::banjump:bananas are good for you
 
The club are in discussions with the Whittakers about taking on away fans. From a traffic point of view it is ideal as it is straight from the motorway and has suitable access for coaches. It also keeps the rabble awya from the town centre but is close enough for the more behaved daytripper to venture futher down the road. The police could then shift all the coaches at once and close down the Alice st junction for ten minutes whiolst all traffic has passed.


The club are happy with this arrangement as the point of the Crown is to develop a place where the fans can drink all week long as well as matchday.
