Question Happy Hour in Roots Hall bars on Saturday vs. Morecambe

[Gremlin]

So it's £1.90 for all pints and bottles of lager from 1pm - 2pm on Saturday. Who will be rewarding the club with their custom?

If it's cold and on tap in the West then yes...

I think 'Lager Days' are much more appealing than family fun days or even camoflage days. If the club did want to include families and women in the promotion then maybe 'half a shandy for a pound' could be incorporated into the branding. People shouldn't forget that in the east stand bar they have the game relayed live on a big screen. This facility normally caters for just a handful of hardened drinkers who can't face another 45 mins of lower league garbage and those with limps, but if pints are cheap enough then more and more families will be encouraged to stay inside and drink all afternoon which can only be good for business. Bravo to the club.

Don't forget the live half-time comedy show, Dagenham Kev, where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the rants of man so distant from reality he almost appears shaded in like some third-rate Japanese cartoon. My favourite one was the twenty minute chorus of "Stop Fossetts Farm, Save Roots Hall" of three years ago.

I thought the gates didn't open until 1-30?

It said on the OS that they are opening the gates early especially for this promotion

Ah right thanks.:)

 

[chadded]

I can't fit my ego, or indded any part of my body into that tiny bar in the South West corner, so I'll be in the Spread..

Good promotion. £2 a pint would have been fine.

Bottles at the same price as pints still annoys me.

I think the solution here would be to say "keep the change" when you buy your pint with a £2 coin, but don't say it when you buy a bottle.

i will be in the shrimpers at 1.

Besides, this is Morecambe. The turnstiles need to be open longer to let everyone in.

But Bottles of cider tend to be too much for the plastic pint glasses anyway - so happy to pay the same for a bottle of cider ;-)
Should we now expect a court appearance against the catering firm Azure? Surely they would have has at least a 1 year contract and it was less than a year ago they took over?
Been at least a month since we were in court last :stunned:

 

[Pak Power]

Great Idea, Get everyone ****ed before the game to make us look better on the pitch, by the time the game finishes you can't remember anything about it. You must have had a great time!
This should happen everygame, then instead of looking through the proverbial 'Rose Tinted' we can all look through beer goggles !!!

My favourite was his rant about us being the worst football team he'd ever seen - minutes after we beat Bristol City to get promoted!! Sometimes I really miss sitting in the East!

 

[Mad Cyril]

Great idea but why not start run this 9am to 11pm to increase revenues and maybe provide creche facilities?

 

[Tommy2holes]

Or even better stop treating people in the west like 3rd class citizens and let us have a pint

 

[BrettieAngell]

Or go down the pub instead.

Daggers Kev was in excellent form in the first half... not sure where he went for the second.. mind you his non stop moaning was fairly accurate I suppose.. Also saw Grant in an altercation at the lights after leaving the ground.. pulled out turned left cut someone up terribly,it was shocking driving and he was on his phone.. the fellow he nearly killed had a kid in the car and got out to have a word , grant hopped out and did the footballer in your face hands by your side thing.. the bloke pointed out that the kid in the car probably didnt want to see his dad in a street fight.. some bloke shouted at grant to get back in his car, he must have been a lump as grant did swearing away.. then he managed a tiny wheelspin as he shot off.. all excellent entertainment, well better then the game anyway..
