But I was told the bar is actually outside the ground and they don't do passouts?

That's the clubhouse. There are plenty of bars in the ground too.

there is a very nice bar next to the club shop, seems like a big place next to a very useful field, which could be great, especially for the kids, if we have a nice summer next year. its sorta a ground within a much larger complex.

What, a quarter full and with no singing or atmosphere of note?
It certainly isn't no.

The 'singing' I heard when I went to Rodders Parade consisted of about 10 Celtic fans chanting 'sheep sheep sheep shaggers' for about 3 minutes....by which point Leeds were about 12-0 up.
At least they decided to detonate a large firework in the middle of the pitch before kick off ....I assume that was to add a realistic sound effect to the back drop of the 'hospitality' boxes that looked like a bombed out Chechen tower block

But thats just it Janners..
Its NOT lies.
Be honest with yourself....did this happen when Celtic played Leeds at Rodney Parade?
1. Small hardcore of 10 (maybe 15) Celtic fans chanted 'Sheep Sheep Sheep shaggers' (itself a pretty bizarre claim to fame even by Welsh standards) when the players ran out and then for about 3-5 mins after kick off (after which Leeds were at least 2 scores up)
2. Some bloke wheeled a small cart onto the pitch containing a single large pyrotechnic before kick off which was detonated causing a very loud bang
3. The hospitality 'boxes' behind the sticks resemble a block of flats in downtown Grozny and look like they should have been condemned in the 1970's
Seriously.
can you HONESTLY disagree with any of that?
And thats without mentioning the little bloke walking around dispensing warm beer from a back pack that looks like it was borrowed from a local garden maintenence company who used it for spraying weeds, the run down terraces, the filthy toilets that were in mouldy old portakabins, the bar outside the ground (yes the other person on here was correct, no passouts if you fancied a beer) the merchandise shop that didnt sell ANY Celtic crusaders merchandise and the generally run down area that the 'stadium' was in.
show me a bloke who can disagree with anything I've just typed and I will show you a liar.

lies as you know which just makes you a bit of a weirdo to be honest. god knows what your motivation is.
2. Some bloke wheeled a small cart onto the pitch containing a single large pyrotechnic before kick off which was detonated causing a very loud bang
the fireworks were crap. always are. its a tradition.
3. The hospitality 'boxes' behind the sticks resemble a block of flats in downtown Grozny and look like they should have been condemned in the 1970's
No they don't.
Seriously.

yes becuase they are your colourful lies, your speciality.

Blah blah blah. your strange little obsession is probably best explained by a psychiatrist. I suggest you go find one.
