For the first time in ages I went to the Fans Bar post match. I thought it was a bit empty given that spirits were high having rescued a point. Now I know why! One bar was shut at 5.45pm and last orders called at 6pm! Peroni was £7 a pint and I’m not sure what I’m getting to justify the price. Added to which when I ordered my mate a vodka and coke I got a glass of vodka with a bit of coke plus what remained of the the small bottle of coke! Bizarre! On the basis of that it’ll be a while before I bother going back!

So really it’s poorly staffed and as a consequence you’d think an easy fix to get more punters to stay for a few post match if proper bar staff employed
I don’t know if the bar is outsourced or not but it’s a mess either way!
Plenty of places to drink in Greenwich, Maze Hill, Woolwich and Plumstead.
Better service, more choice, lower prices and far less queues.
Don't like the oak so now drink in Plumstead. Did go in there after a game last year prior to a lads curry night. Got charged £25.40 for 4 pints of Peroni and thought that's it for me.
On top of that they are never ready at the allotted opening times and the bar staff although friendly are mostly useless.
I said his words were at least a barometer to beat him with. This is a pretty quick win isn't it?
I don't understand why they close the bar at the end before the other one, though. The staff are all just standing there with nothing to do but say they're closed and you have to walk down to the next one. What is that achieving?
The manager told me the bar on the far side closing early and then other bars closing at 6 is down to gather and gather, basically he said people would come in at full time order a couple of drinks and sit there with them watching the game and not order again ao gather and gather were paying staff and losing money as the staff were doing nothing, so he said they send some home when the first bar closes and then have last orders at 6pm
You can however stay and watch the rest of the evening kick off, just get a drink before last orders and tell the staff your watching the game and they let you stay, again me and my mates were the last in their yesterday watching Palace v Forest
Opening and closing times of the bars including why are they never ready on time.
The competency of the staff.
Lack of choice of ales (especially real ales).
Hot food choice and the ridiculous price of it.
Removal of the stupid bar around TV screens that spoil the live match viewing.
Price of drinks particularly non-alcoholic ones.
A few weeks later a real ale appeared and that was about it....Nothing else had changed.
Ordered my mate a pint of lager, had such a big head on it, I thought they were gonna produce a Badger hair barbers brush, and offer me a shave
I had to explain to the lad how you pour a pint
Just dreadful, like the food outlets (which I also no longer frequent) - The Oak gets my business - at least the bar staff know how to pour a pint (and some of the bar maids are also rather attractive) 😃
Some of the offerings at other clubs offer is off the scale. It's really not difficult for someone that gives a sh*t.
Is S.Sutherland on here?
I've never had anything at The Valley recently, but the kiosk just inside the entrance to the Curbs looks pretty decent.
