Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 "Curiouser and curiouser" said Alice....... Mind you, last time I was on the pitch was the MUFC game and I've been dining out on that ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice idea and sure will be popular but seriously has anyone “ever dreamed of dining pitchside”? Well if you have “For the first time in Ashton Gate history, your dreams can become reality”, beautiful, I’m welling up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 This offer from BCFC has really amused me. I realise that Covid19 and the lockdown has affected people's ability to think clearly but "Have you ever dreamed of dining pitchside where your team play? For the first time in Ashton Gate history, your dreams can become reality." I think anyone who has dreamed of dining pitch side must not be quite right. As for sharing a tomahawk steak in the dug out being 'Romantic'- not even Mark Ashton could spin that one to my Mrs. Having said that though, me and my boys used to have front row pitchside ST's in the Lansdown stand and they'd always have a pie/burger and a coke at half time so I guess we've already had that magical pitchside dining experience.

Red DNA Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Bizarre. I know time goes by quickly these days but have I missed Xmas and it’s April Fools Day already? A meal up in the executive boxes might be an experience for people who never get to go to that area, but a picnic table on a football pitch is not one I’ll be booking on Valentines Day.

Abraham Romanovich Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I for one have never heard of a tomahawk steak, admittedly I,m no mover and shaker in the fine dining game. In such circumstances google is one's friend. You're not getting much more meat or extra flavor, you're literally paying for an extra foot of bone that you can't even eat. "Essentially, you're just buying the bone," Chef Michael Puglisi of Electric City Butchers said about the tomahawk. "It's more about aesthetics than anything. "I didn't get where I am today by just buying bone at a pitchside dining experience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Well I think this is a nice idea. Not one I could get past the missus but I'm sure there are a few sorts up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!james Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 To be fair to the club they have copied this from lots of other clubs who have/are successfully doing this. Its revenue for the club who are employing staff to work? Not sure what there is to moan about... oh hang on its OTIB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollywhyte Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 It’s hardly a unique idea, we have just copied Plymouth Argyle https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/2020/july/pitch-side-dining-at-home-park/ In fairness looks like it’s been popular for them with more dates added since. Additional income for the club can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 If you have always wanted to dine pitchside, you would just buy a ticket as close to the pitch as possible and get a pie. Cheaper, you won't have to take The Doris and you get to watch football as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 There is nothing new about pitch side dining as I did this in the 60s. In those days there was a continuous bench running in front of the Williams enclosure, immediately next to the pitch. This was called the “Ringside Seats” and I once sat there. I had my usual half time snack (can’t remember what it was) but it was definitely pitch side dining. Much cheaper than the current offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Any initiative to raise a few extra quid in these difficult times should be supported. I wish City well with their enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Unrivalled views? I think they may have spooned on the PR a little bit too thickly there. Think I'll stick to a pie when we're allowed back in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider hoss rules Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Welcome to OTIB...... Moaning the club do everything on the cheap..... cheap coaching option, moaning as we are (so say) being outbid by the likes of Brentford, moaning about the chairman because he's not serious about football because he's only splashed £170 odd million out. Now the club look for another revenue stream in the middle of a pandemic that has meant minimal income for the best part of 6 months, and lo and behold.... moaning on OTIB. Some people would love to have a look 'behind the scenes' and get onto the pitch, why does it have to be ridiculed as some big joke and be used as another thing to knock the club for ........ because this is OTIB, that's why.
