Blues Bar

As usual it seems they've got it arse over elbow.

I'm sure that it used to be a quid only a couple of seasons back.

It was only a quid 3 weeks ago!

So a non-member who fancies a pint in the Blues Bar on the odd occasion pre-match, has to pay £8.50 for the privilege.

I doubt that there'll be many takers. Maybe that's the thinking behind it though, to keep out the riff raff 🙂

Remember when Swag tried opening the ‘1875 Lounge’, had about 2 beers on and lasted about the same amount of games.

So Waggot wants fans to pay over the odds for a beer. Then to pay £3 for the privilage ? He isn't even very good at being a dodgy salesman.

Are you saying he is barking up the wrong tree? lol

The daft thing is I read it back and thought something doesn't look right, but I couldn't work out what. Thanks for pointing that out.

It shows the difference between a CEO who listens to fans and “understands” them - and one who doesn’t have a clue. 
 

John Williams worked tirelessly trying to get fans into Ewood Park, that was a very big part of what he tried to do,  while Waggot seemingly doesn’t even consider the effects of his policies on the fan base. He doesn’t have a scoobys. 
 

There’s no future for rovers under Waggot.

Only a joke...couldn't resist

They've probably drove past the Fox and realised it's closed and thought "hmmm". 

 

[Mattyblue]

Reopening in a couple of weeks I believe, so that’s another hole in the balance sheet!

swag is either insanely  arrogant or completely braindead  to not be able work out his target market,he must think being near manchester and liverpool the people have the same ethos

We have been going in Blues Bar for many years.

1. Prior to this year Season Ticket Holders only 1 pound only entrance.

2. Jugs of ale available 12 pounds before 1pm, 13 pounds after 1pm (4 pints per jug)

3. Before 1pm seating available on most occasions but plenty of people in.  After 1.30 - full

4.  On many occasions queues outside waiting to get in after 1pm.

5. Waiting time approximately 5 mins for service at the busiest times.  Experienced bar staff - no hassle.

6. Food available at sensible prices.

This year:

1. No jugs of ale available, high prices for pints

2. Waiting time in excess of 20 minutes for service

3. Staff untrained, couldn't even find credit card machine.

4. Wanted a coffee, guy behind bar did not even know they sold coffee or how to do it.

5. Now want to charge 3 Pounds for entry and allow entry to anyone after 1pm.

6. Some staff can't even pull pints of beer correctly.  Absolutely rubbish service.

Bank Holiday Monday we went to Clitheroe FC .  Two people behind bar serving everyone.  Had the new bottom-filled glasses (as at Wembley and Tottenham) approximately 5-10 second to pull a pint.  

What the hell is going on at the Rovers when a clube like Clitheroe can have modern technology to serve people quickly and politely and Rovers  can't cope (or won't cope) with their members?

Season Ticket Holder watching Rovers for over 70 years, paid for my Season ticket last year but did not get to see a match, didn't complain.  Rovers needed the supporters' help and this is how they treat us.  Something sadly wrong.  so sad!

Can JimEdd’s post be raised at the FF?

This club really is in an utterly shambolic state, and it’s not bloody good enough.

As mentioned in the other thread, these are on the agenda. Also, I’ve been on the wrong end of these myself, so I’ll add my two pence worth!!

[tomphil]

The nodding dogs still think all is well though and pour their sympathy towards the club, its 300k per year exec and billionaire badly advised owners.

Rovers fans have no right to moan don't you know, this is our level.

[Mattyblue]

What annoys me is how they’ve de-Roversd it. The mosaic club crest floor, the memorabilia all over every bit of wall… now just a generic, shabby bar with crap, expensive beer.

The entire club in microcosm.

Free entry this season. Was it last season?

Fair enough, you really can’t be charging for what is a much shabbier place than years gone by.
