Don't bother going in there the waiting time is shocking and if u get in front of the regulars all hell breaks loose. Best leave it as it is gods waiting room.

Must admit I said the same , on a nice day it would be ideal.

I thought the town was a no-alcohol area? I would imagine that extends to outlaw mobs drinking white lightning to save a few coppers.

they could easily put some tables outside the founders bar so people could have a drink outside, it'd increase said bars capacity too

There are ways around no-alcohol areas. Have you ever been to the Mathew Street Festival?

It was just a thought for all fans to be mingling together before the kick-off.

Yeah but there's thousands and thousands of people scattered all around during that which makes it trickier to police and the police probably have more important things to look after during that as well. Besides, Saints should want to keep the place respectable. This is the town's flagship sporting and conference venue and should be treated as such, not as some downtown doss house for [iShameless[/i cast offs.

I like the idea of the club extending and opening some sort of patio thing but there's plenty of pubs around and in town where people can drink rather than littering our new pride of place with empty tinnies.
