Been proven many times charging less to encourage more loses the club money. Case in point the Wigan game last year. Biggest crowd of the season yet lost money

Ultimately its the choice of the consumer but I have to laugh at attitudes such as cosmicat who's hell bent on finding fault on everything but isn't willing to be part of the solution for the sake of £1.60 a pint.

How many drinks do I have to buy before I can prove I'm supporting the club? What I there's a promotion on, should I offer to pay full price to show I'm a true fan?'"

You can drink where the hell you like for all I care, it's your money to spend how you want, nobody has criticised you at all, you just seem to want to side with somebody whose only intention is to pull the club to pieces over finances not under control of the club but isn't prepared to hand over £1.60p to the club on a silly principle, then I suppose if he has the problem of drinking 10 pints during the match then his problems are far greater than we imagine, as for your other bit of silliness with the theme of your last post I suppose your post above reflects your stupidity.

Wife's making a roast dinner for after the game on Sunday, told her I'm having a burger at the match instead to show I'm a proper fan like Chissitt.

I've not got a season ticket either so I can pay more on the gate and help the club. If you don't pay on the gate don't complain when the club can't afford to sign top players.

Some people go for quality of pint, and i think it also depends what tipple you like.

Personally, i like real ales, so thats why i tend to prefer having a pint on the way in. I'll be honest though, I used to like the beers that Snowie used to produce. I do tend to switch to lager in the height of summer

Quote: Trinity info HUB "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.

Now then, I don't mind this at all.

We are owned and operated by Marstons and as such, there are certain company standards that we have to observe, however I would love to get involved in some of this. As it happens I had a signwriter in this week to adorn one of the walls with Trinity badges and we do have some things relating to the club already on display but I would love to add to that.

I am more than happy to work with you on this, the banner may be the most difficult element to swing from a company perspective but I am happy to collaborate on the design and find something that works.

Prints, definitely, particularly anything relating to the club's heritage. It would have to be A3 to remain consistent with other prints and posters we have.

Anything official from the club such as signed shirts/team photos etc I would love to have on display!

Regarding criticism of The Ruddy Duck, I am all too aware of the shortcomings that the pub faced in its previous guise. To put it bluntly, I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't now be The Bridge Inn were that not the case.

All I will say on the matter is this, the pub before was an entirely different business, aimed at different clientele and managed by a different team of people. Whilst I run the pub as a job, RL is and always has been my passion so getting things right on match days and working alongside the club is a huge part of the reason I am here. I have been to Belle Vue as a fan, albeit an away fan, dozens of times so I would like to think I appreciate the need of RL fans in general. If you still think it's e, fair enough! icon_smile.gif

I've just got your private message. No, I won't ask her if she's got any friends to set you up with. And I won't be passing on your sugar daddy page either. Stop asking.

Quote: vastman "He will be.

How a person can be so dim as to not realise the reason why we only have half a stadium and budget team is because people like him won't pay their share whilst expecting others too, everything on the cheap. Yet as is the norm his type are the first to complain. Fakeman let's be correct you have only supported trinity since the 1990 trinity fans have drinking in the conny club for year's before mc and ted in fact for year's before if my dad was alive if ask him you bet Trinity fans have drinking in conny club since open at a guess there's a good 150 on there every home match you know FA start preaching!!

Hi Cam,
Have been in today (5 of us) pre-match for lunch and a drink and have to say the place looks great!
Love the sports bar side and the other traditional side. Also like the new outside space to the left of the pub with the large screen - will look forward to using that in the summer.
I have some memorabilia I could lend you icon_wink.gif - what can you get away with?

Glad you like the refurb! Was good to have a few fans in today pre and post match.

On the memorabilia front, pretty much any official club things I should think. With it being yours I would want to make sure you were happy about where it was displayed etc in order to ensure it isn't damaged or anything but that is a fantastic gesture mate!
