Quote: Bridge Inn Cam "Hi all,
New here so I'm not sure if this is allowed but I have not long ago taken over the newly refurbished Bridge Inn (formerly The Ruddy Duck) on Bridge St.
As a rugby league supporter of many years I am aware there isn't typically a huge amount to do around Belle Vue before and after games and I would like to help change that. Before the season opener against Catalans we will have a live band performing from 6pm and they will return after the match to play from 9.15pm. I would love to help contribute to the match day experience and to make this a regular event that can help contribute towards the atmosphere of the day for both home and away fans!
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a Hull KR fan but now that is in suddenly in my own interests I'd love to see Wakey take 2nd spot this season!
We have events planned in for both the Catalans and HKR home games so far so hopefully if it is a success things can continue to grow!
Cheers
Cam'"
I'll partake but it's two way deal and I'd like something in return
Effectively if I buy a drink from you I won't buy one from the club. I haven't got a huge issue with that, it's a choice issue for everyone.
So to get my money I want to see your venue pushing the club (as you seem to want to) both inside and out. Won't cost you loads. A large banner outside facing Barnsley Road supporting the club. Inside say a dozen framed images (A3and A2 SIZE) dotted around the place, including behind the bar.
Don't know if you are able to do that but if you can here's an offer
I'll do you the A3 and A2 prints for free (you'll have to buy the frames).
I'll design the banner for free, but you'll have to get it made.
I'll ask the club if they have any memorabilia they can spare.
You could be onto something if you get it right. The old Graziers on Donny road used to be buzzing on match days, and was effectively the de-facto club pub, even the team used to drink there, although I suspect that last one is now a thing of the past.
Trinity have a hard core of about 3,000, if just 300 (10% of those) go out of there way to go to a Trinity pub, you've done well.
- what can you get away with?
