Quote: Pieman "get a few tv's up with old games on a bit more food and bingo'"


They had what looked like a screen on at the far end near Lockers Horsebox on the top floor through the window. But it looked like a projector screen which looked a bit faint to me, couldn't tell what game was on.

Whether they can put TVs on wall brackets around the hall remains to be seen but that would be a better option I think. Obviously things like this need paying for and the money from the fanzone no doubt goes back into funding further improvements as we go along.

Quote: NickyKiss "I’ve not really bothered with the South Stand Bar for years but that was down to the fact it wasn’t going in the clubs pockets. In comparison I’ve been in the new fan bar before all three home games this season and I’m enjoying it. There’s little improvements here and there to make but it’s coming together and it feels nice to have something that feels like it belongs to the club.'"


We’ve been all 3 home games and on Sunday we went back after the game as well
I think that with the right drive and planning there is still lots of room for improvement and when summer does eventually get here we could have a little gem

I’m not sure who “owns” the project but he or she for me should get a formal team together including supporters to develop new ideas and use the website to formally update supporters of developments every week.
No disrespect to the Riversiders but we need new ideas and new faces to really drive this.

So far I’ve really enjoyed it but to keep interest going for me they will have to offer new ideas and initiatives on a regular basis to keep things fresh and to encourage more people to visit

There was no need for reserved tables in the south stand (there are even two offices in there) theres no need in the new bar. They love to float the "i'm a better fan than you" idea though. Always have done.

For the record, I stand up icon_thumb.gif

i know a few and they arent like that at all, just passionate fans who give up a lot for the club and at their own expense, the south stand when I used to attend was rammed so the tables were needed

Why could they not use the two purpose built offices?

Yes I’m not bagging the Riversiders, I have and do contribute to them but Itchy has nailed it though in that it needs to attract a younger crowd and needs fresh ideas (already has it with the music and the whole conception but can go so much further).

I regularly went in the SS bar but it was very stale and good for families/kids/older generation and that can still stay as it is. There is no point in dragging across similar stuff which cannibalises both business - I’m aware the club doesn’t profit much from the SS bar though.

Out of sight? They would have been the first thing you saw when you walked in the room. Then again, if it wasn't mentioned every 5 minutes people might have forgotten.

So far the only complaints are prices and that its still like a Riversiders meeting.

Anyone go in post game Sunday? How was the atmosphere ? Seen the whole squad went in, looked packed on some social media posts.

Good to see the squad engaging with supporters we need more of them. Enjoying a post game beer with the fans.

Can’t do it every game but Sunday games after a decent win would be good.

My grandson loved it.
Had his photo taken with French and Manfredi.
Made his day.
We just had a pint but to atmosphere was fine.
The bar staff were also very engaging
The fan zone could be a brilliant addition to Sunday afternoons if delivered properly
