and smell of desperation

Sounds like an advert for dynamic pricing in reverse if,race to the bottom?

The Club have said the Exhibition Hall will be open from 12 p.m. before the game and 4.45pm after the game.

They have, the discussion is whether it’s instead of existing things or as well as

 

[SkyBlueChris]

East stand bars open as usual at 1.30pm:

It's one hour until our Fan Village in the @CBSArena Exhibition Hall opens!


Make sure to get down there early and enjoy the pre-match atmosphere.


The East Stand Fan Village will also be open as normal from 1.30pm.

Doug trolling the Norwich Forum this morning:

If only we were Coventry (not even joking!)

I live just outside Coventry and lots of my mates are lifelong Sky Blue fans so I get a good insight into the club. For years I’ve had bragging rights with our great record over them and our relative success. But at the moment the two clubs appear to be on totally opposite trajectories. Performan...

For context, they are also putting a fan village in but for some reason have decided to forcibly relocate 3k season ticket holders to do so:

I will be there with the Foleshill Gas bowls. Make sure to pop down and say hello!

 

[Great_Expectations]

Can’t work out if I should go clockwise (past the away end) or anti clockwise (through the outdoor fans village) once I get off the train.

It’s a real dilemma.

Anybody there ? Woukd be good to see some pictures and have some opinions .. we cant go today but my cousin is flying in from New york for the west brom game and bringing his daughter and am hoping its good pre match entertainment

That Norwich City stuff above is interesting. It used to be lauded as a club that had a local owner and a great relationship between fans and owners, when we were the opposite. Not it’s the other way round. Makes me think we must do all we can to keep building what we have now, take all the opportunities to engage, be constructive about what we want, support things like the fan village and spend money, and be patient when the inevitable bit of bad form arises etc. We are in such a good place. I have to pinch myself sometimes. Let’s do what we can to keep that going

Turning Dhillons into the designated away pub would see away attendances plummet within two or three seasons.

One of the three bars has just run out of lager...

 

[chiefdave]

Can you not get in from the North or South entrance? Is that just because they don't want hospitality having to mix with us commoners

 

[skyblueelephant76]

...also big queue to get in for anyone thinking of heading there

 

[MatthewWallis]

Queues for the bar are awful in there. Also like an obstacle course for any disabled trying to get in

 

[skyblueelephant76]

The only good thing was the screens for the football, bars outside are much better

Cousin you say? ....

Cousin you say? ....

Yes why

 

[Great_Expectations]

Queues to get in and for the bar still massive?

If you want a beer best to go to the outside bars

 

[Great_Expectations]

If you want a beer best to go to the outside bars

Cheers.

Based on that I think I’ll stick to the outdoor ones today, especially before it gets too cold.

I’m sure they’ll learn from today!

"your money goes to the club"

But make it as hard as possible to give the money

 

[SBT]

Why didn’t the previous owners do something like this? Wouldn’t make enough money or just couldn’t be arsed?

Hence why I asked this question! Turns out it’s not as easy as people assumed. Hope they get it right eventually.

Just needs more bars.

Its a start eh , will get better no doubt

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

I like it. Big numbers in here, clubs on a serious earner if they sort the queues out

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

It'll be nice in the winter when its freezing out

 

[SkyBlueChris]

Really impressed for a 1st attempt, much better than I expected, more games for the kids, decent food, big screens, just need more bars for next time but without knowing how many would turn up thats difficult to gauge!

 

[hill83]

 

[SkyBlueChris]

It got too busy after 1pm before the game due to not enough bars but has been perfect after the game no more than a minute queue for food and drink! Decent crowd still here as well!

 

[Monkeyface]

Great to see the club making money. Obviously need to sort the beer queues out, but it was also boiling and the music was way too loud. But I'm a grumpy old man who wants to talk to his mates rather than dance!

Making so much money they can have three staff serving one person if it’s anything like every other CCFC till situation. Food queue at the balcony bar was stupid today, one stall for burgers, one for hotdogs. Each stood expectantly as you get there with nothing ready. What do you think I’m ordering mate? The stake tartare? Then wanders off to find a box while two others stand about waiting. Same at the bar, three members of staff getting in each others way trying to serve one customer. The PSG woman we brought in needs to get some big club efficiency in there.
