lgbbcf Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Does this work? I think it does although i have heard a lot of people complain about it. Personally IMO people can walk in, move fast through the line and get served promptly, instead of fighting through people that are stood at the bar watching the tv. but i do think there should be more of the tall thin tables for fans to perch at with drinks etc. not so sure there is a need for seating in there.

Seems to work ok. The queue looks huge when you join it, but it moves along pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Didn't take very long at all after the game to get served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted September 18, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Initial thought was it looked huge, but like above it moved much quicker, all in all I thought it worked very well and agree it stops the problems of when there are large numbers of people stood watching the giant TV. Still amazes me how empty the Lansdown club section is upstairs, couldn't have been more than 15 people up there, seems such a waste of decent space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgbbcf Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 im sure the Lansdown club is now used for the Pizza Dough balls for extra tables and chairs, so if you book or drink through them anyone can use it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeygeeee Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 That mezzanine floor is an absolute farce. Yesterday it had just 8 people up there before and after the rugby. If the Lansdown Club feel the need to be so separate from the normal punters, surely a space more suitable can be found? The 'break-out' space that has appeared this year (through the far doors of the sports bar and out into the concourse) makes great sense at the end of a match, but a couple of projectors are needed to pop the results/ live matches on....

We were on about the section upstairs in the bar area - it still has the Lansdown Club graphic on the doors to the area, when I queieid it with a member of staff on Saturday he still referred to it as part of the Lansdown club. Is the Pizza dough ballers the kitchen downstairs? Just wondering how they get the food up to you upstairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeygeeee Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Pretty sure the top deck ( mezzanine ) is reserved for the huge number of Lansdown Club members.... the partitioned section down stairs behind the barriers is now part of the pizza affair. I'm guessing that if you buy drinks at the separate bar inside you can use the tables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI yes the same place, the Mezz the pizza dough ballers have the back part of the sports bar by the kitchen where they are seated and the part up stairs, they carry the pizzas up when they are ordered, and they have a small mini bar area up there for drinks. I will check at the game tonight but i am sure that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 On a separate note, the Sports Bar doesn't seem anywhere near as busy pre-game this season. Anyone venture an idea as to why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgbbcf Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Im corrected, I spoke with the pizza owner last night and the Mezz is still for Lansdown customers, The bar is there for Mezz guests and pizza can be ordered and taken up to them from the kitchen. But this may change going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone venture an idea as to why? Personally I can't be arsed. It always looks like it will take ages to get served, I hate the whole mezz floor area for the "elite" when there is 10 people in an area that can house 50. I hate the lack of place to put your drink down and the general sweaty cattle market feel of standing there holding your drink in a huddled, jostled group. Basically the most poorly designed sports bar in the south west - a glorious chance missed for me !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
