long time of no posting!! So apologies if this has been mentioned before. But.
Today was the first game I did differently - me and friends arrived by train, and didn’t feel rushed (although did feel like lemmings packed into a 2 carriage train both ways).
however.
post match we hung back. No rushing, and took advantage of the post match fans zone.
bars remained open. And it was busy. Even at £3.60 minimum a pint, we have to earnt a bit from this.
live entertainment with a one man band as a guy with his guitar, and he was actually really good value!
the vibe post match was so good!
Whether that is through King alone or those working with / for him, keep that good work up!

It's as if there's a businessman running the commercial side!!
If the beers decent and there's enough bar staff then why wouldn't you put the money into the club coffers?

Nice to be able to actually get a beer after the game rather than queue 40 minutes at the casino bar

We initially tried to get in via the statue but was directed to the first gate next to it which stayed open. Anecdote was packed so grabbed a drink from the concourse, then heard the one man band (guy and his guitar but did some great covers).
Saved the rush back, even if we were still then packed on the train like lemmings after

But was definitely a great plan to entice fans to stay that little bit longer and boost the penny jar!

It was just brilliant yesterday. Hats off to Doug , great to see so many fans having a pint after. With the A444 closed after the game this is a stroke of genius

Similar vibe to the aftermatch at the buts without the players mingling.

Yeah really enjoyed being able to hang back afterwards, have a pint and let the crowds die down. Took the chance to stroll round the concourse (found the infamous chip shop!) and happened across the lad and his guitar just as he played WLADITT which got everyone going. Was nice to take a moment and take in how far we've come.

Annoyingly couldn't partake in the £3.60 pints as I had to drive last night but the atmosphere before and after the match was fantastic. I hope this initiative continues

Having something before and after in the exhibition hall would be mint. Folks whose kids don't like pubs yet could pile in there. Hope this is what they're building up to.

There was. The Childcare & Education Expo which probably isn't what you had in mind.

All part of Doug’s Masterplan. Close the roads after the game, trap the people in, people spend more money.

Winger incoming in Jan.
