  • "twit" - oooh, get you sweetheart!

    So, when you said "those in the north stand ... drink lager" you were making ut up?
  • There are 5 of us who probably wouldn't have gone who are now coming to the game. If anything the ale is more of an attraction than the game.

    [cite]Posted By: AshTray[/cite]Waste of time. Everyone knows that those in the north stand (which I still called the Covered End, by the way; call me old fashioned) drink lager.

    All of them - even the kids?

    They drink smuggled in cans of fosters where I sit - well, when they're not thrown out by the stewards first!

    Wish I could but I'm in the "wrong" stand.
  • Had a couple today. Was great.

    Nice to see they sold out in the north upper as well!
  • Did it sell out? Well that must mean the experiment worked. Well done all you ale drinkers.
  • Decent Pint.

    Looked very popular to me!......
  • They also had in Bartrams which wasnt advertised. Didnt realise until after I'd ordered. Know other people didnt realise it wasnt there either. Hope this will be taken into account when deciding to repeat it

    Yes it was, I read it out on Tuesday night.
  • Was it Courage Best?
  • [cite]Posted By: Chirpy Red[/cite]Was it Courage Best?

    Yup. Nice pint as well.
  • Yes, I think this is a good move - would like to see some variety with the food- could do sweet and sour chicken and chicken balti. Reckon with that and the prices tuned down slightly the club could make more money from catering.

    Had 2 at half time. Not the best pint ever but certainly no where near the worst.

    Seemed to be alot ordering it upstairs in the Covered end.
  • i had my pint of Courage Best at halftime - so much better than too cold tasteless fizzy lager.
  • Can someone please start a campaign for spirits to be served?

    Vodka and redbulls allround!
  • North lower had sold out by 14:45.
  • I hope someone from the club has bought BexleyDan a free pint.

    Good work fella. Looking forward to my first one on Boxing Day, if they can manage to keep enough going for half time. Normally I never bother with anything, what's the point of queuing the whole half time on a freezing day for a bloody Fosters?

    At Czech games, they have the ideal cold weather half time drink: Grog. Tea laced with rum....

    That's why mine was flat, I must have got the last one in the barrel ;-) Big improvement on the lager though. Lovely to taste something for once :-)

    went to see sparta play mlada boleslav a few years back in november, absolutely freezing but for entry, a decent pint of lager you can drink in your seat and a bramborak all for just a few quid was a bargain (match wasn't bad either)

    You had a bramborak, and are still with us? :-)

    Of course as soon as UEFA or FIFA come to town that all goes out the window. A mate of mine, (a Spanner), was dragged to the Czech v Scotland game with his colleague from Aberdeen. I was sick so I got out of it. Spanner hated every second, but the worst thing was, there was only Birrell (non-alcoholic) to drink...
  • How much was it a pint? Did they prepour and was there a dedicated queue?
  • £3.30 -both my pints (before the game) were poured on the spot. No dedicated queue.
  • how much is a Pride or similar ale in the OAK?
  • For information - the real ale trial was a great success it sold out in all the locations it was put into.
    It will be offered in the same three locations for tomorrow nights game - if it once again proves a success the club will extend the trial to the east & west stands for the Walsall game.
    Well done to all those who supported the initiative.
  • Had three pints in the north lower and it sold out prior to the game, please can the club repeat this and get in a tad more next time

    And sell it in the west upper please?
  • Very nice pint at half time in the Upper Covered End!
  • I had a few pints in the north upper - i was a bit concerned because it wasn't very well advertised - just an A4 piece of paper you wouldn't really have noticed, particularly with the John Smiths still there but anyway, sounds as though it sold well and agreed, not the greatest pint ever but certainly not bad and a great improvement. Maybe a Courage Best sign on the barrels or something would help? Maybe they can rotate / try different beers - have Courage Best as standard and try a different ale alongside each game. That's what most pubs do - keep a standrad 'session' beer like Courage best and rotate the other - just an idea.
