POST MATCH HAPPY HOUR IN THE SUPPORTERS BAR Hi You may have recently read my update on the measures taken by Bristol Rovers to improve the quality and bring down the cost of food and beverages in the Bristol Room and Supporters Bar. I was also delighted to see the club are allowing kids into the ground for free today. This I very much welcome. All these measures ensure that the club is seen to do all it can to ensure you and your families can afford to get behind the lads at a time when we need your support more than ever. However, I do regret that despite several attempts, as far as I know the post match Happy Hour in the Supporters Bar is yet to return. I wrote to the club after the Grimsby game, and earlier this week, to ask for the post match Happy Hour to return. I received a response from the club and informed that this could not happen as the club had not put up prices for two years, and the beer was now costing 10p more. With this response in mind, I then wrote back and asked if we could reach a compromise i.e.50p off a pint? It is with deep regret that I have not received a reply to this request. Now it may be that the club intend to do this. However, without a reply, I assume sadly they are not. Therefore please accept my sincere apologies if there is no Happy Hour after the game. In light of this decision I therefore intend sending around a petition form both prior to and after todayâs match, kindly asking the clubâs board to review this decision as a matter of urgency. I sincerely hope that these new measures taken to improve food and bring down costs are a significant help to you and I thank the club for that. I would also hope that you continue to use our facilities after the game as I am sure this issue can and will be resolved. I look forward to seeing you at the match today and sincerely hope we get our first win of the season. With your support we will! UTG! Brian Director.
Brian.....what I don't understand is 'I wrote to the club'. Do you think NH, BB, CJ 'write to the club'?!
I'm struggling to remember the last time I had a post match happy hour. Post match usually consists of a miserable evening drowning my sorrows after another poor result.
Today there were signs outside the bar advertising £1 off per pint up to 1.30pm and 5.00pm-6.00pm.Unfortunately I arrived just after 1.30 and could not stay after the game. But lets hope they keep the offers on for the rest of home games.
