Faz Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 (edited) Looks like the kinda pop-up bars we have here in Summer, basically just a place to get a pint isnt it? No. It’s an affront to every right thinking, non-replica-shirt wearing, non-match going, real-ale drinking fan. It’s emblematic of the way football has changed. I want my football at 3 o’clock on a ****ing Saturday afternoon. In a dilapidated stadium. I want to stand on an uncovered, over-crowded terrace in the ****ing rain. I want to get soaked through when I go for a **** in open air urinals in said rain. I want my football to be played by a group of so called professionals who were down the pub, or the bookies, until 15 minutes before kick off, and whose idea of a subtle pass is to hoof it 50 yards in to space for a lumbering centre forward to run on to. But most of all, by Christ, I want tackles. Whatever happened to tackling and getting stuck-in? Perhaps Fratton is an option. Edited 30 July, 2019 by Faz
Cabbage_Face Posted 30 July, 2019 Author Posted 30 July, 2019 Any reason people are making this personal, it's not about me, it's about a fan zone that looks like a right old bodge job.

It's more the fact we build up this "fan zone" for months, it's going to be epic, fans will flock and in reality, it's some containers and a red fence. The design team deserves a medal.

Batman Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 (edited) LOL scream if you wanna go faster, rave on. Can imagine the fan zone with lots of tacky gifts, face painting and safe spaces. All at a huge cost of course! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuMy9BNCLl4 Edited 30 July, 2019 by Batman
hypochondriac Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 Vitesse away. Now that was what you call a fan zone.
ecuk268 Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 The club are on a hiding to nothing here. With a fan base of 25-30000, there will always be a proportion who moan at whatever they come up with (and also if they did nothing).
the saint in winchester Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 Surely, something is better than nothing? Unless there's a charge to go in it(?), if it adds nothing to the experience, then we just leave it and go to our seats, nothing lost.
ivangolac Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 I don't see anything wrong with it. On the few occasions I've arrived at the ground more than 5 mins before kick off there have been plenty of people milling around , getting a burger etc. I guarantee there'll be plenty of people will be happy to use this before going into the ground . I'm just not one of them !

Tamesaint Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 I can't believe that this thread has generated so many posts. Some people are very bored and have nothing else to moan about.

Clearly it’s important to people what the club is spunking it’s cash on, when it has zero money to spend on players. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Players cost many millions of pounds and are important for the club's future. Fan zones cost a few thousand and are not as important. Try harder to find something to moan about ... and do it about something more important.

I bet the feasibility study into chucking some containers on the car park cost thousands on its own. Just not important to you. I bet you rubber neck. Strange. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
suewhistle Posted 30 July, 2019 Posted 30 July, 2019 Out of curiosity, what is you drinking establishment of choice before a home game? So that we can all avoid it..
