Sorry, but the club can go and jump.
They are only changing the south stand bar because the corporate ‘cash cow’ has dropped off. They are not making the money from corporate, so they are prepared to let the ‘peasants’ back in. I’m sorry, but they can go swizz.
For the last 5 seasons, they’ve not wanted to know the fans, unless they were paying the corporate fees. Now home support has dwindled, they are marketing it as a ‘positive move’.
More fool anybody who falls for it and goes along with it. Remember where you’ve been for the past 5 years. In a sports-hall drinking warm cans of crap lager. All because you were NOT wanted, because they wanted to milk the corporate cash cow.

I’m going in town with my son, and meeting Ali at the match.
I’ll suggest meeting at the pub, but the forecast isn’t tropical for the weekend.Griff, we will celebrate Jeff’s imminent 1000th post on Saturday !!

Do you really think President’s Club is ‘corporate’?
I’m a member, just as I was when it was Blue Chip.
There may well be some corporates, but if I was invited to it as ‘hospitality’ I’d be insulted.
It’s a bar with big screens and hot buffet. No dress code and a pay bar.
Most folk in there are just like me, supporters who want a bit more than a seat.
I travel 160 miles to get to the ground, so I want more than just a pie and a bovril when I get there. I usually aim to arrive a couple of hours before the game just in case there are traffic problems. I don’t want to hang around Robin Park if I’m early!
I’m not sure the club have ever made that much from it either. It costs me £200 a season and £50 for my lad.
That’s slightly more than a tenner a game for me and just over £2.50 a game for my lad.For that we get to sit in comfort, watch skysports and have a free hot meal. Oh, and there’s 50p off the programme price. In there you get the past players association (assume they get it free) and the mascots and families (also free). The rest just look like families, couples and groups of mates.
Practically everyone is in jeans and club colours (except for one or two forty somethings like me who feel it’s wrong for gentleman of our years to wear polyester).
Principles are fine and admirable, but often misguided.
That said, I’m absolutely certain the only criteria for the change is that fewer people can afford it these days and so more can be made if it’s turned into a public bar.
This might well turn into an own goal for the club, as with a public bar (serving food) then many paying President’s Club members will stop paying and just use this bar anyway.

I could have posted sh1.te till the cows came dancing into the paddock weeks ago to get to the 1000. when griff got to 3000 his pic never changed as far as I could see?. what do you get when you get to 10,000? A previously unreleased never before seen picture of Harry Lyon as your 2nd avatar?[/quote]
You’ll have to wait and see.I am already thinking about when the staff there now leave, as I will have to change eveything.

Jeff, the ranks are not based on reaching a certain number of posts . They are based on most posts ! Therefore Griff’s pic would not have changed on him reaching 3000 posts !

Griff, we will celebrate Jeff’s imminent 1000th post on Saturday !! As usual the pints are on me for anyone who can be bothered to take up my kind offer !! ;)I will definitely be there, as always. And not wishing to appear rude but I am usually in a fairly tight round with the remaining V100s.
Tight as in close-knit, not tight as in miserly.
