I was once thrown out of the Bier Keller in Manchester for throwing beer. Go figure.

Talking to one of the ladies at Saints last night, she was saying that they are going to lower the price of alcohol before the game to get people to drink there, rather than going the pub, put the prices up during the game, then lower them again to get people to stay after the match to have a drink. At the 19 kiosks that sell beverages and food, they are gonna sell, pizzas, wraps, pies etc.

that's a good idea in principle, but pretty hard to do in practice.

Oh dear, cheers for the enlightening information but I wasn't referring to the "Bier Keller", don't know what gave you this idea????..........If I was referring to the "Bier Keller" I would have wrote "Bier Keller"!!

I wrote "BEER CELLAR" with the correct meaning, this being that they will have a good size facility to hold enough beer for us all to enjoy instead of the small hut that sells a can of freshley opened lager for £3.10 that we have at the moment......... Draught!

Lovely. It's totally enclosed so the atmosphere will be great.

A few issues with the video:

- RU book on prominent display
- an 'actor' doing 'hand gun' movements
- Kells Bar. Are we groundsharing with Cumbrians?

Right - i'm confused.

Are we spending ALL of next season at Widnes? It says 'moving into our new home in Autumn 2011' - does this mean immediately after the season has been completed in October? It seems silly to play a playoff match or two in 2011 there.

Looks like a nice stadium very impressive. Is there any standing room in the stadium like the HJ or is it an all seater stadium. Can' wait to visit with he Wire

standing at either end pal

Nice to see Saint listening to there supporters and what they want

wouldnt have thought so. 2 options:

- have 1 sign with 2 prices on, then have a till with 2 options on - relying on the staff to make decisions.
- or go high tech, an electronic sign that changes automatically at a given time, same with tills.

I imagine the biggest problem would be licensing laws and having people buying 20 pints before kick off to last them the whole game.

I would love to see guys with 20 pints round their seats



would be mayhem when we scored and they jumped up , cheering , beer everywhere !!

classy

Retailers these days have electronic tills that download price information from servers, if Saints have something similar, then its merely a case of having the server update the pricing at specified times via a download to the tills.
If this is the case however im half expecting saints to get mixed up between GMT and BST on the clocks.
I say this as ive known similar things to happen with far bigger companies with sometimes quite embarrassing results.

i can see it now, i order 3 pints at 7.57pm by the time they get to the till its 8.01, how much do i pay?

Is it not likely that there will be bars with entry from outside and the bars inside the ground will be more expensive?

Well there is only one external bar the "sports cafe bar" all the rest are in the ground.

Saints want to encourage people in early so they spend as much cash as possible on foor and drink.

I also expect the corporate areas will be a touch more expensive than in the west or north stand bar areas.

Anynews on 2 pint pots?

Looks like LSV

I have no qualms with that

On the point of there being no pubs in the vicinity of the new ground, as an ex-industrial epicentre, historically the locality of the site would have surely been chocker with them.

its a ten minute (more like 5 really) walk from town with all the pubs you could possibly need

The pubs that did exist down Peasley cross lane have long since gone.

There is a Conservative club near the old st.Helens Hospital site and i think there is a Northern Soul club on Sutton road.

Going further afield, Robins lane isnt that far away. Probably a 20-30 minute walk. So Bowling green is a possibility.

Queens arms on higher Parr street.

The Ramford on Ramford street, though it would be a bit of a round the houses trek to get to the ground

Chair, what have you heard about the "watering facilities in the North Stand.

10 minute walk from the Ramford.
