Toilets...facilities....seating.....lighting...cover...

a "fanzone" as far as i am concerned should only have a place at major tournaments where thousands of supporters without tickets can gather and watch the game on a big screen in the sunshiiiine.....anything else that is being proposed is "a bar facility".

Its a w@nk idea IMO.









Ok, maybe a bit hasty in thinking that it would just require cover and drinks.  No doubt in todays climate with elf and safety it would take a lot more than common sense to get it up and running.

But as someone that at quite a few away matches has ended up in the 'away' supporters pub, only to wait 20 mins + to get served in an overcrowded pub. Then negotiating my way back to a table without spilling anything, I welcome the Fanzones.  I would still be quite happy to support one here should the chance arise.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Do we truly have a home pub now? The BP hotel doesn't work for me

on further thought Civvy...i think this could be something that should be considered for any new proposed stadium development.....the police do seem to have a handle on the travelling hoolie elements nowadays so should be no reason why such facilities at a new ground couldnt incorporate the opportunity for both sets of supporters to mingle pre match.

Probably the best way forward.  Or are you being quite cunning in suggesting it tie in with the new stadium ? Thus giving you several more years (if not longer) of a Fanzone free environment  ??

So I heard this geezer Civvy who you are talking to he loves mixing with away fans especially if it involves dancing about with chains and bollards.

With my back mate, I very much doubt it.  
The only dancing I do nowadays is at weddings.  And even then I end up looking like uncle Nobhead

Hehe.....by jove Holmes, you've cracked the case.  

My reluctance is admittedly borne out of ignorance on just WTF is a Fanzone tbh...it just sounds like a Premier League or Sky Sports generation idea so therefore instantly i am against it.

Pre match pint in a pub/bar...is all i desire...quite happy to mix with the opposition and chew the cud...one thing that the non league days were excellent for was a nice in the ground social club that welcomed all.
Was it Dagenham or maybe Ebbsfleet... where they had a beer festival on the day we played there ?

Ebbsfleet. They ran out too quickly from memory. What a weird place. Big shiny station then nowt for miles other than industrial units. I got there early and ended up in a greasy spoon as there wasn't a pub for miles. It was like a less glamorous version of Immingham.
