Re: 10/08/19 Havant Highlights
Thanks for the highlights. Two games in a row, saved by the woodwork... Well taken header by Adam though & correct Luke Allen MOM choice.
Lowlights were barely an hour after the game. Everyone (Including some Directors, Players, Manager, Staff, Supporters and some friends on their first visit) was chucked out from the upstairs Bars 'as informed', due to functions but also suddenly, without warning, from the Downstairs' Champions' Bar, even though a Live game only had 20 minutes to finish... TV Off. No provision made for Darts regulars to enjoy another drink and a chat with their friends, in their Bar! A party had apparently been booked into the new 1888 suite and Bar. So why not split the Bar temporarily, as has been done on several occasions before, until vacated naturally? It seems that an internal private booking took precedence, over all post - match Darts regulars, who would next consider alternative venues!

Well when you out source your bars and take the money you can't really complain and if i had BOOKED a bar for a function i certainly wouldn't expect to share it at any time.

Apart for after a HOME Game, with our own people that matter using that HOME Bar, with NO NOTICE... AND having shared it regularly before, successfully and without issue.

Then it should be taken up with whoever took the bookings and didn’t seem to tell anyone about it.
I know I certainly wouldn’t be happy paying out to hire a bar or function room and then having to share it with a load of football fans whether it was their home ground or not.
You can’t pick and choose as to when your going to hire it out and when your not just because a few fans want to have another drink after the game, the simple solution is that if you don’t want other people in there then don’t hire it out.
It’s bringing extra money in to the club from the hire fee’s and probably a lot more than what would’ve been taken had those few fans been able to buy another couple of pints.
The club doesn’t get any of the bar money anyway that goes to Bite Me except possibly John Stewart’s bar downstairs.
