Hampshire Red Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 thats why our crowds will go down this year, whatever football is served up; some people will alwyas find something to contrast favourably with going to support our club and someone else will alwyas state the fact that sitting at home watching Robins tv with cans of Lidl's finest was cheaper than watching football at BS3.

Any idea if the PA in the Dolman has improved? Absolutely bugger all has changed. The Dolman PA is just as crap as it has been for the last 5+ seasons. MKelly has done SFA about it. The guy should be replaced in my opinion.He’s a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 The club will charge what they can get away with to maximise revenue, they need the income. I bought a steak pastie (that was basically a potato pastie) and bottle of water for £6 something - won't be buying anything in the ground for the rest of the season.

Now that we have a new CEO I’m thinking of sending him an email about it. Maybe then MKelly will actually do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Have to say that this season I have - after years in the Dolman - moved to the Lansdown Stand.

Fed up of that shit. WTF am i supposed to do with an opened bottle that i’d actually like a lid for so i can take it up to my seat?! ( next game it will be a spare lid from home!). Buy your soft drink from B&M before the game and save up to £2 on each bottle. You can pay by cash too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness @Robbored, and all joking aside with your constant moaning about the PA system in the Dull Moan, I really think you should do this. As was pointed out in another thread recently, this is actually a serious Health and Safety issue and the club should be ashamed. This really does need to be sorted out.

Get the idea publicans need to bring the coins in, but they would move more concourse drinks by expanding the range. Half two, want another pint? Nah, be a squeeze getting that down in 15 minutes, get me a rum with a dash.... But of course, that isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made exactly the health and safety point personally to MKelly ages ago and he denied it was breaking any H&S regulations. Faced with a flat denial there wasn’t much I could say or do. I will emailing Richard Gould tho. Might as well go above MKellys head in an effort to get he PA system fixed so that it’s fit for purpose.

That’s odd, I’ve been in the Lansdown for a few years and today for the first time I really couldn’t hear a single thing he was saying during the Terry tribute with the former players. My initial thought was they’d stolen our speakers and moved them to the Dolman to appease Robbored but apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
