I know it can be seen as a cheap shot at the club but they do seem to make many avoidable mistakes. No pies, no bovril, no golden goal tickets. It's not difficult and why do I have to climb a grassy bank to get from the north stand to Sheepfoot Lane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to apply to the new owner if we ever get one to put you in a lift I am sure he will oblige. Heheh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we know why and whilst coco the is still running the show it will be much of the same, it's been many moons ago since he's given two fucks for the paying customer.

He was there today and came into Boundry Club to talk to people after the game. Didn’t see the prospective buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler13 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Agreed that path up that slope on a day like today is bloody leathal. Last I heard was a Hotel was going in that corner of the ground. If so maybe it will have a lift to go up to different levels. Hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Don’t think Corney will be looking at improvements anytime soon and who can blame him, with an empty bank balance and a overwhelming desire to get out, until the new owner hopefully completes I’m afraid we’re stuck with what we’ve got! We were told that the new Stand and SD sponsorship package was supposed to catapult us to the next level but a succession of lies and broken promises has left us in a dire situation. This takeover simply has to happen otherwise we could be history very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev1969 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The guy that ran all the refreshments etc got sacked few weeks back new guy now in charge who is no way up to speed or looks like he knows what he is doing and three more staff walked out yesterday.

rosa Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 No pies except meat and potato before kick off in the RRE and I gave up trying to buy wine or spirits months ago as they hadn't had any for over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 No draught beer in main stand yesterday either due to pumps not working correctly. Still 5 goals on the park where it truly matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'd happily go the rest of my life without a crappy pie or a mars bar, Even a Luke warm flat beer if it meant we score 5 on the pitch every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 After a few emails sent to Mark Moisley at the start of last season, and then another Oldham represent this season... we eventually got them to start issuing HT drink orders? Is that not the case in the North Stand anymore? I wasn’t there yesterday but have been able to ever since the emails last season pretty much. Like you say though... they definitely do not maximise match day revenue which in our position is ludicrous, awful business management.

HarryBosch Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) I've (sadly) been racking my brains to establish the logic behind this. I like to try and look at things from all perspectives. The staff are now stood around being paid to do little or nothing for most of the first half when they could be pouring half time drinks. Now the half time queue is bigger with many not even bothering to give the club the money they wanted to give them in the end and going back to their seats without having had a drink/bought a pie. Not to mention me, and others, not bothering to queue up to give the club money at all. Am I missing something?

laticsmarra Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 There are am any revenue prevention techniques that the club adopt ranging from not having enough stock for match days to more strategic techniques such as not opening a supporters bar and being incapable of running a club shop effectively. If and when the new investors take over there needs to be a root and branch review of how supporters are treated and their needs accommodated.

wogghead1 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 North stand. Went down on 44 mins for a pint, missed a goal, still queueing when they scored in the second half! Why stop fans pre ordering a drink. Crazy. 3 people behind the bar, only 2 serving beer, the other one telling everyone else there were no pies, no bovril and no milk for the tea!!!!! it was colder below the stand than it was in the stand as well, a few halogen heaters, and a pint would do wonders so the fans can actually enjoy a half time chat about the game rather than queueing and moaning! Rant over, just thawing out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
