Latics and England Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is there any news on the Supporters' Bar? Is this still supposed to be ready for the start of next season? I know it was supposed to be open for the Wigan game, and then it was delayed 6 weeks, and then May, and then start of the season... but I haven't heard anything for a while.

Chaddy14 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Made enquiries about a Christmas event using the large conference room and was told there are no assurances it is will be available. Sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Why the ground floor space hasn't been fitted out as a Supporters Bar is a mystery to me, what would be the cost to give it a basic fit, 20k tops? The missed opportunities and lost revenue is bordering on scandalous, you just can't spend money on match days even if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missed opportunities and lost revenue is bordering on scandalous, you just can't spend money on match days even if you want to. I'd be impressed if they could do it for anywhere near as cheap as £20k. I'm no expert on shop fitting, but I'd expect to add a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , but tossing a low figure like that in gives another starting point for a moan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common guys give Corney the benefit of doubt he has assured all the funding is in place to finish the stand ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hmm, there were a lot of people going crazy when someone said it wouldn't be finished by Xmas 2015. When did it start? August 2013? Or earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 If you want it done for £200k when do you want me to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I've lost track of all this but can I check something, did people actually pay £675 for 100 Club season tickets? If so, has the club indicated that they'll receive some sort of partial refund? Yes. No but they have been promised that something will be done (yeah right) Did anyone on here shell out for these season tickets? If so, was anything done to compensate for it not quite living up to its billing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Valentine Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Perhaps they can't get anyone to do the work for them? If you don't pay your suppliers invoices, then word soon gets round and nobody will come near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Fine as it is non of of the money goes to the club anyway. It'd be an ideal place to have a pint after leaving the ground at 4:15 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think its fair to say this stand billed as being the making of us has :censored:ed us up big style, its still only half finished and its draining the life out of the football club, another :censored:ing disaster of a project by Corney and Co.

Sorry Stevie only just seen your question-there have been promises made for the 2016/17 season but the detail of any discount is still being discussed. However I suspect that negotiations may be re-opened quite speedily now after today-requesting much greater discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1000 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Its not the stands fault the stand is an inanimate object. What doesn't help however is using income from the football club to finish projects in the stand that the football club doesn't own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And future income will not go into the club apart from matchday income we have been well and truly hoodwinked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
