Great idea, looks nice.

Owners have certainly green-lit a lot of rogue decisions since taking over

Everything seems way more structured and organised, let it continue.

First smart thing they can do if possible is televise away games in there.

Make mine a doube!

Another small step towards convincing the fanbase that these owners do actually care. They're trying, I'll give them that.

Think this is impossible because of the 3PM blackout

I'm fuzzy on how that all works. Are the current away game streams for fans abroad only?

Yeah, any 3pm kickoff is only available outside of the UK, regardless of home or away

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

This is another reason the 3pm blackout just needs to go.

It is restraint of trade, in a way.

I'm sure a number of pubs would love to lay on 3pm kick offs on a Saturday - if you can't (or don't want to) travel to the game, then come and pay a fiver at the door, relax, have a few pints and watch it with your mates. You'll have bars in New York, Melbourne, Marbella all doing it. It's an absolute no-brainer.

But no. Let's keep an archaic law that came in in the 1950s to satisfy one tight arse Burnley chairman who was worried that it might hit his gate receipts. Instead of repealing it because it makes no sense to modern life 70 years on.

Honestly, this country is so backward sometimes.

You'd think it would be quite busy for any Swans away games on Sky. And Wales matches.

Makes sense to me. Hopefully they'll offer good food too so they can make money throughout the week.

Hopefully there'll be discounts for STH etc

 

[Copamundial]

Great idea, long overdue

 

[bakajack]

Decent location too, not super far from the train station for away fans and conveniently right next to the Morgan hotel (if anyone wishes to donate a kidney to stay there)

 

[stevethejack]

A great idea - hoping it's not £6+ per pint like the stadium bars.
