The club will be delighted when this half arsed effort fails.

 

“We tried”

”we listened”

”nobody came”

”what more can we do”

 

etc etc 

 

It shouldn’t be a trial, it should be an investment that blows people away so much that they change their match day routines. Lazy, sloppy bastards at LCFC.

As with so many things the club does, the actual effort is good, it's how it's handled.

 

Searches on the fan zone door, not letting those with the free drinks given out by the club in etc is all tone deaf again.

 

What was physically there could be decent, but won't be when the above is what you walk into. 

 

Beer being £5.50 continues to be a rip off when there's a bar maybe 15m/20m away either side that offers it for cheaper.

Agree with this. The searches seemed very unnecessary. Said home fans and ticket holders only, then didn't check tickets, but did search bags/people. Be interesting to see if any feedback has been taken on board for today's game.

Would've also been brilliant if they'd brought in a safe standing demo, would hit a huge amount of people and easily accessible. But they would then leave them open to too many positive opinions

Not the fanzone, but the activities they put on for kids outside the family stand before hand are great. My lad loves getting involved in all of them, and it’s great to see so many other kids getting involved having fun and being able to play against their parents too. 
 

Panna cage, table football, whack a mole, teqball, panini swap shop, jenga, connect 4, a through the hole shooting game, a sit down football game, face painting. Lots for anyone to do with younger ones, especially for those that get there early but like me don’t want to go into the ground crazy early.

I decided to give this a go today. After passing through a checkpoint at the entrance to get tickets checked, there was another checkpoint further down for a very thorough bag search. I’d just been to the shop, so had a couple of cans in my bag. Told I couldn’t come in, but wasn’t allowed back out through the entrance. I had to be escorted by security through the fan zone, out of the exit. Felt like a criminal 😅

Sorry to digress from the main topic but does anyone know of anywhere, other than the few episodes on YouTube, where Phoenix Nights can be viewed now?

 

I have the box sets on DVD somewhere but don't own a DVD player anymore and can't find a site that shows or streams them.

 

This is asked regularly on the Phoenix Nights Facebook group.

 

The only place I know of on-line to watch it is on Dailymotion.

Canute's long dead, man, let it go already...    

To be serious though the fanzine is ok if you want a few beers but the promise of different food was a bit of a letdown either hotdog & fries or doughnuts, thought they would have invited some local food trucks to give a bit of a selection rather than what they had but fair play they tried to make a difference maybe it was space maybe next time ?

Brum version.

 

If they're not going to do the expansion anytime soon why not convert he old electric repair building into a fan zone.
