havanatopia Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 From the things I've heard, it'll be open every day, much like a sports bar/restaurant That is great news if true Marie.. When i am back I can take my Pops in for a quiet drink or meal with Mum.. surround ourselves with BCFC stuff. No doubt parking will be available, free of charge of course, during these quieter days.. if they do that they will have a steady stream of traffic.. because i am usually middle income, middle england and average mr bob... I am the archetypal mr median. if i say it others are usually thinking the same, on average you understand. p.s. The food needs to be good, wholesome, good value and with a good portion oh and there should be a good wine and beer selection .. Get most of that right and they will be a new venue to the area; not that there is much choice right now from recollection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 they might have snooker tables, pool tables etc that will bring people in on non-matchdays Snooker tables would be a good idea, certainly not many left.. Rileys certainly is nice and busy whenever I've been in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotham Brow Red Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I guess if they get a good manager in it could be like a spoons in daytime with easy fair grub / breakfasts / coffees, etc. Plus any daytime sport (test matches, horses(racing not horse boxing). Night the same but champ league, MNF,internationals, rugby, etc. All with a BCFC / Bris twist. Get some decent ales in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'd imagine it'll do alright. If marketed correctly there's bound to be some passing trade from the airport, the conferencing, and local business as well as the yokel element.

Ohbasso Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I've been in the bar in newcastles ground before (shearers I think it's called) and can imagine it being something like that. They had weatherspoons style food, average priced drinks, lots of tvs and a couple of pool tables. I went there on a weekday lunchtime and it was fairly busy with direct access to the club shop. They had tvs in the club shop showing highlights and collections of best goals. If ours was like this and showed live sport every night I could imagine it being well used, they could even start a pool team/league in there which would get people in.

exAtyeoMax Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I think a snooker club would be a good idea as well as pool. There doesn't seem to be a lot of snooker clubs around in the vicinity and they are always popular during the day as well as in the evenings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodburyred Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 No need to apologise. I've noticed recently, on this forum, that several contributors use the expression "average football fan" to explain various opinions. How does one define the "AFF"? Working class would surely be the most average of football fan. I would say the majority of football fans watch their penny's. Therefore cost would be probably the biggest factor of the average fan.

Bristol Rob Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Get some dart boards up as well. And for that authentic pub-dart experience, a few sets of broken mis-matched darts kept behind the bar that you have to leave a fiver deposit on.

Aizoon Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Wetherspoons standard food would be fine for me. My local caff is run by Turks and does traditional basic English food including a very acceptable roast dinner. I eat there regularly, and I've never died of food poisoning. Mind you, it does make me wonder whether I'd have the nerve to set up a kebab stall in Istanbul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
