3.60 pints being trialled this weekend

His measured and clear approach gives me a lot of confidence he will see us promoted in the medium term.

I would have liked a question about whether Doug see himself as continuing his ownership of the club after promotion and whether there any plans to bring in external investment.

Coventry Telegraph only mentioned the transfer window part of the Q and A I suspect they will be dining out on this video for weeks.

Wish he would have had a question about setting up a big screen for us to watch away games at the ground too

Who seriously would travel to the Arena to watch something most of us can watch in our own front rooms? Most of our support don’t live next door to the ground.

Clearly wanted to reiterate the point about revenue - which is fair enough

I personally prefer Dhillon's pre-matchbut will start going to the Fan Village now that we own it. Think it is important as fans we support the club where we can

Think using the Exhibition Hall or a big gazebo (remember Accrington doing this well) is a good idea. When it is raining or freezing in winter people will not want to drink in the Fan Village/the concourse

I did submit a question along those lines. Obviously left on the cutting room floor

That's a good question, why didn't you post it?

It sounds a bit like the relationship with Dhillons has cooled a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if the place at the Butts gets sold.

Turns out the £3.60 pints is only between 12.30pm and 1.30pm

What was the point of this video? He hardly answered anything

Didn't they do that anyway? Thought we'd always reduced the prices for the first hour after doors.

if that's all it is he's made himself look a bit of a twat tbh. you can't give a big speech about come and drink here, we've put all the prices down and then it only be before 1:30!

Based on what?

The Tavern is doing better than it's early days. It's always busy when I go in. Used to be empty.

I’d imagine king would be non committal. One he won’t want to sound presumptuous about us getting promotion. Also if he says he’d be interested in external investment might look desperate/weaken negotiating position. Better to sit tight and see what comes our way. Investors know where to find him

I can see that coming to a stop soon. I quite enjoy my 2 cans of Tyksie for £2

They'd have to gate or corden off the Fan Zone, not allow alcohol to leave that area. And then apply for restrictions of public drinking outside that corden. More trouble than it's worth.

Strategic management too. That's really the key I think.

Thats more like it. Now they just need to employ people that are capable of serving at more than a snails pace and we'll be in business!

Just shows what a ridiculous mark up it must have been.

Just seen that, glad they cleared it up cause the matchday guide said different

Wouldn't supprise me if they brought in restrictions on match days. I wouldn't of thought it would be that hard to do

I don't think persuading our safety group to put more restrictions on anything would be too hard.

and people who know the difference between lager and Bitter

Will be interesting to see what happens to all the dhillons outlets at the ground. More have been added this season.

Mcbean · 2025-09-12T16:45:02+0100

I am guessing a pint of Camden Helles lager wont be £3.62

Is the beer offer on at certain times or is it all open hours before the game? Offer on after ?

The pints are shite in there anyway. Pure egg

pusbccfc · 2025-09-12T19:45:14+0100

They definitely have some barrels of beer that need using up don't they?

Just said that to my mate. Get rid of old stock before getting a few new brands in.
Looking forward to it, but it’s mad really.

We're going to get there tomorrow and find out they've stocked Carling for the £3.60 offer aren't we.
