Worcester Owl Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 22 minutes ago, oafc1955 said: I don’t know how lucrative the contract with Lees Brewery is but it’s definitely a beer with an acquired taste that in general I would suggest only appeals to our more senior supporters. An additional real ale facility would be very welcome, whether it would be acceptable to Lees is debatable but it would be nice to have the option. Must admit I’m out of touch with the catering arrangements - if Lees have a contract where do Molson Coors fit in? Are they just supplying the Legends Lounge? I like your dig at Lees - speaking as a Middletonian I never liked their beers To be fair that was back in the 70s, I’d hope their beers have improved since. There are so many craft breweries/micros in and around Manchester these days I just thought it would be nice to see some of those beers at the ground instead of the Molson Coors overpriced garbage.

You'd have to make it about 30 yards narrower to do that - it does look slightly narrower but as mentioned before it might just be because the LED boards aren't there while the pitch and 3G surround is being completed.

Boyyou Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Must be an age thing cos I don't mind a pint of Lees bitter. Our Frank is a fan, too, so at least I am in good company! As for lager, you can keep most of them for my money. Edited June 29, 2023 by Boyyou 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick26 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Anyone been in the gym today? Looked like some new bits had been delivered for the dugouts yesterday. Maybe a cover for the manager's comfy seats or even something for the subs to sit on. I'll report again tomorrow if nobody has seen anything!

Well since Molson Coors own the brand that is quite likely. If Diego was still about on this board he'd probably tell everyone it's also brewed in Burton. Never drank it, never will.

Fer someone who's supped draught OB and the finest J W Lees best bitter for 50 years, I know we can't get the draught in ('cause it don't keep - it's fer drinkin) but I agree, we could do better than bring a multi-national in - we could support someone local. Anyhow - good luck to the boys next season - and hope you are all well. Cheers - Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Does this mean we're no longer the only club in the country to have raised dugouts or are they staying? Sure I saw it on TV as a quiz question at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
