In season a bar selling decent ale, good food & showing televised games live on a decent screen would seem to be a no-brainer.

Sky TV should be re installed in the Trevor Foster Bar pretty soon plus other improvements in seating etc and heritage displays.

Have an official link up with a local taxi firm - if not already. Cheaper rates and decent trade.

Good idea. Odsal is a fair way from where I live so a cheap taxi would be definitely a good reason to go.

Now thats a novelty over here and you have to pre order in advance some nights, mind at least the drivers get paid a decent wage over here!

Some kind of grand final event would be good; Watch the match, meet the players, quiz?, etc. However, I suspect that getting sky for a single event may not be cost effective, and so we are more likely to see skyTV installed closer to the new season.

There might be issues of availability or priority on the taxi firms' behalf but that's not my issue to solve.

Another notion is to somehow create a link-up between both Cue Gardens and the Top House, obviously they might be worried if their custom goes elsewhere (TF Bar) but at the same time we want to TF Bar to succeed. Perhaps some kind of mini-pub crawl? But in a more mature way. From walking past on a match day there isn't much of an issue, both established pubs seem rammed, but this could be for the other days.

... further continuation "Red, Amber and Black", something Red related in Top House, something Amber related in Cue Gardens followed by something Black related in the Trevor Foster bar. Perhaps not so literal, but something to "collect" (for want of a better term), something to signify each pub/bar is a part of this link-up and each is equal.

This might be an idea too far but for when there isn't a game on, the whole Coral stand becomes something akin to a Wetherspoons "The Trevor Foster". Or if there is a game on, spend over £x and recieve a free/half price family ticket. I dunno. If someone like me can think of at least something, however daft, then the possibilities must be there.

Like a loyalty/reward card. So many pints/money spent gets you a free ground ticket which then is given away by the winner to someone else who either wouldnt hopefully normal come to game and then spend over bar from that group increases by one person. Hopefully we play well then they come again

As a season ticket holder i wouldnt object to free tickets given away in return for money spent over bar

I think its a chicken and egg situation with the real ale. I would be much more likely to go if they did sell it, but until they get decent numbers every night will it be viable given its short storage life? I dont see them selling real ale if its only going to be busy a couple of nights per week.

Real ale in a bottle?

Like champagne on draught.

Would rather choose from a selection of bottled beer than drink Tetleys to be honest.

As I once said to the landlord in my local when he said he was thinking of getting Tetley's in as a guest, "If Tetley's pumped beer directly to my house and I got it free from a tap in the kitchen, I'd still prefer to come to the pub and buy something decent". Strangely, (or maybe not so strangely) after doing a vox pop amongst the regulars he didn't bother with the Tetleys.

Even funnier, a few years later the darts team wanted to run the team in the Tetley's handpump league, not because they wanted the beer but because (apparently) it was a good darts league. Of course, it meant the gaffer had to have it on the bar on darts night, which he did, but trouble was none of my local team's players were actually drinking the stuff and to a large extent neither did the visiting team, so it was hanging round and "cluttering up a pump" (© the landlord) until it went sour. The handpump league didn't reign long....
