mickjagger Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Tracy Wright Hi James no further news on the takeover. With regards to the fans bar next week, it's a one off event to see if there is enough fan interest and it's a joint venture between your Trust and the OEC so it's being divided equally. Hope this helps. Cheers So profit from this does not go fully towards the playing side, unbelievable Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Slightly off topic but same ballpark - whilst the Trust are dabbling in the beer business can one of you find out if the club will be letting us give them money to pre-order half time drinks in the North Stand once again after not letting us at the last home game?• Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEC never agreed with as the revenue generated does not go back to the club which is an outrage as the club have paid to build the stand, then to be told all match day revenue goes back into the club, now to find this is not fully true is disturbing.

underdog Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) some see the club as Corney and won't support it, some see the OEC as the other two and won't support that too. We we were not going to win over everyone and we understand if fans decided not to support this event thats why we have been totally transparent to say any revenue generated will be split between trust and OEC Edited December 20, 2017 by underdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a bit naive to assume the two are separate entities, for me they are all pissing in the same pot so whether it's tweedle dee or tweedle dum the net result will be the same.

Yeah your right Yarddog, my brain sometimes does not engage and it's not that clear cut I hold my hands up. What I'm trying to say is that we have been honest about the joint venture so fans can make their own mind up to support it or not. It's a personal choice, we accept this and wouldn't expect anyone to justify why they will or will not support it. Why do they need to? its an experiment, a one off with little outlay for the Trust, an opportunity to do something as we have not done anything this season for the fans and yes, to raise some monies for the trust warchest.

It's probably worth pointing out, for those who don't often venture around that side of the ground, that the unit fronts on to the car park so you won't need to go in to the ground first to access the bar.

underdog Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Think LL has clarified, home fans only at this stage folks we don't want to inflict our identity on everyone now do we. Anyways we have to think about the staffing/security of it all. Yes. We a taking on feedback as we go along with regards to the venue, directions, what's going on in to, it's a learning curve as we usually rock up to an event with a little planning so to speak. This venue means I have to push a bloody broom around and load up and delivery some furniture too before Friday. They never said there was physical labour in the Trust Directors role, suppose it comes under any other business eh. talking of volunteers, as some trust directors are working up to the Xmas break, we might need to ask for help to set the venue up , possibly Friday afternoon. So if your free and want a pre Xmas work out, please PM me. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the rumours the OEC itself MUST be making money it’s in use MOST days for conferences, open days and meetings etc... the top floor should be complete but Corney knows only one way and that’s half arsed. With two floors you could double the conferences, open days, meetings and Christmas footings etc... it’s a very popular venue - why wouldn’t you maximise it? Probably harsh on Corney as we know Bliyz is his puppet master but how they ever made any money ever is beyond me. I’d love to see them on the apprentice in fact they’d get laughed off flying start with their business acumen...Rick Attwood put forward this sort of pop up bar idea ten years ago. It finally gets entertained. Better late than never I suppose.... Bit like the "there'll never be a way to sell beer in the Chaddy End" and ten years on it happened. And then folk say our leader has done a good job under the circumstances. It doesn't sit well with me that the OEC will be taking any matchday monies out of this venture BUT the venture is more important than that. PS Regarding Ricks idea 10yrs ago, I remember suggesting also putting on old nostalgic Latics matches on a tele (like the Sheff Wed game etc.) and promote it the week before that the game would be shown. Would get more folk in than a live Sky Premiergreed game IMO. Edited December 20, 2017 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to the PS... I very much like this idea. Defo worth considering if we do eventually launch a fans bar. Are we okay to put it on the wish list Boundaryblue?

Monty Burns Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Sorry to be that guy again but personally I think it is difficult enough dragging lots of our fans out of the past as it is, without getting them pissed and showing it to them again just before a match.

I could be in a minority, but I’d rather watch a live PL game than Oldham v Grimsby from 1964. 1) You can bet on live football 2) Sports are 10x better to watch when you don’t know the outcome. I like the idea of old matches being played on a TV in the background, but as a promoted event intended to draw in more supporters, instead of showing live PL? I don’t see it working.

underdog Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Okay here is today's fan bar update...u16 will be allowed in free as long as they are with an adult. refreshments to be purchased separate. Adults is £3 entry with a free 1st refreshment or a food item. Please be mindful we are running this as a bar environment with no family area. Also as it really is a basic inside, its not really fit to have wee ones running about as well...please see photos we have already posted as we are trying to be as honest as we can In as little time we are trying to pull this off. Also, we might need a couple of volunteers this Friday afternoon to help arrange the furniture (once I have done loading and unloading it tomoz Without killing myself)...so if you fancy a workout with furniture and have good sweeping, wiping down skills, please put you name below or pm me. Cheers Edited December 20, 2017 by underdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
