Our humble club house and lack of alcohol!


The Hovis Kid

Recommended Posts

How come it seems that our club house doesn't seem to have the capability of hosting a larger than normal number of fans in our bar? When I arrived at the ground I went straight to the bar (as most northern blokes do), to my horror there was no draught beer, only bottles. Still not to worry, beer is beer and a bottled one would suffice. Two down and its kick off, so I wait until half time to get my next. Further horror as I'm shocked to see that there is only alcopops on offer! This hasn't been the first time this has occurred. During the QPR game the same thing happened, we ran out of beer! I'm certain that with the atmosphere of the game the majority of the fans would have liked to stay in Terry Hall to continue the night as we did in the Stag.

 

Surely someone at the club, the bar management, the board, the chairman could see that there is a needed for more stock when hosting larger games. We could have made so much more money for the club had we been better prepared.

 

Can anyone from the club shed any light on why this happened it is disappointing!

The reason that there was no draught beer was that one of the gas valves decided to pack up just as they opened the bar. As the club were unable to get an engineer out they only had the option to sell what they had.

 

Thankfully during the game Peter Simpson and Steve Rowland went out and re-stocked the bar with what they could.

 

Appologies if anyone was annoyed by this but these things happen.

Dont they test the gas valves an hour before they open the bar? Thats what we used to do when i was in the pub trade. Seems like

organisation is not your strong point. I seem to remember that the

bar license was not renewed for one of the Boxing Day games against us, so there was no beer at all in the club that day. And the unpaid fines debacle against Bracknell. Congratulations on the win by the way.

Mr Beaten, I must take issue with your condemnation of the alcoholic fayre on offer in the clubhouse. Whilst I agree that it unlikely to win any CAMRA awards, it is perfectly sufficient for a half-time or post match imbibement. I feel that we should instead be revelling in the "Champagne football" currently on offer on the pich. That said, you don't see many stray cats in Windsor these days.....

Burton-Groves,if i may be so bold i should like to respond to your rather fatuous argument.

Firstly i would like to take issue with your spelling of the word "pitch", get yourself a spellchecker.

Secondly,the beer has indeed won an award from camra...no,hang on,i meant DEFRA,it was awarded most effective pesticide for 2007.

Lastly,you may be quite content to drink sludge thats been siphoned from a drainage ditch containing the corpses of animals,but that,Burton-Groves just shows you to be a man with not only the most stupid name in the world,but also a man of limited intelligence and appalling taste.

So stick that in your smoke and pipe it!

Bloody hell ladies! Calm down.... Or thing's might end up getting as heated as a bad night in Lee Riddles camp!

 

 

 

Pot, kettle, & Black...! Wasn't it Slough Town FC who couldn't organise the payment of rent to the board for the use of Stag Meadow... Think about it Slough, prior preparation prevents piss poor performance! Could have used that ethos on Tuesday night, it might have only been 5 - 2 if you did!

Now you listen here beaten, It is apparent that you do not respond well to constructive criticism therefore can I suggest that when you have removed your over-sized head from your rectal tract you book yourself onto some anger management courses. I would however like to thank you for taking the time to proof-read my post, you obviously do not have much on on Sundays! but I was caught up in the passion of my argument and hence did not check for miniscule spelling mistakes. Furthermre I would like to point out that I don't smoke!!

Ah,Burton-Groves!I'm surprised to find you home on a sunday evening.I thought you would be out looking for an oily,pissy puddle to drink from!

Firstly,your spelling of the word "furthermore" is further proof [if it were needed] of what an absolute [****!!****] you are!

Secondly,reading one of your posts is the literary equivalent of gargling with human excrament.Your verbiage and clumsy syntax make for very painful reading.

Lastly,and most importantly,BOG OFF BURTON-GROVES YOU FLATULENT,ILL-EDUCATED PLEB!!

There's an old internet adage that every spelling flame will itself contain at least one spelling mistake.

To dansilk-my misspelling of the word "excrement" was wholly deliberate.I was interested to see if that fool Burton-Groves would notice the mistake.

Aren't you curious to discover if those long years he spent at approved school were worthwhile?

To Mism,temper temper.Why can't we all just learn to love one another?

To Woody,you display a wisdom and maturity beyond your tender years!

Ah Beaten, much as I could quite happily continue to swap pleasantries with you for evermore, I have decided to be the bigger man here as you are starting to bore me...and I actually have a life! Therefore I suggest that we settle our differences in the time-honoured Burton-Groves tradition whereby, at a venue of your choice I will proceed to give you a damn good thrashing at the game of....Backgammon. What do you say to that then Mr Beaten, perchance before the Burnham game methinks? By the way I agree with you that that Hovis fellow has a lot to answer for!
