Seems like the new manager/ staff aren't up to the job. Will people look to go and drink somewhere else? If so where?

    same as Suzi, give it a try then see what happens.

    they would be bad to let the trade drop, it must make 95% of its annual turnover.

    we used to drink in there every week for the big screen out the back, but there is something grotty about it, that big room round the back with the manky sofas which is basically a junk room, the wonky floor with no warning that catches everyone out, the mens urinals with no door to it so you can see far more than you would like to, and then there is that dirty matress leaning up against the wall...

    i must say, if the oak is really bad and the weather is nice, i will be taking my bottle of "water" to the garden in the oak (which has been done up superbly) and supping it there away from the crowded bar

    Its a bit nicer in there ow sooz, there are no sofa's or matresses or old ice cream machines. The floor i grant you, but its funny seeing people come a cropper!!

    and is there a door on the mens urinals coming from the old bit to the new bit?

    to be honest, they did kinda put us off when the landlord who we used to get on with quite well threw a strop when we were in there campaigning for the supporters director. he was a bit arsey with no need to be. isn't it season ticket holders only too?

    i often have friends with me, from the opposition or day ticket holders that have been turned away, think thats a bit ott to be honest. why would they start a fight when with their mates? can understand whole groups of away people if they're really going to be picky

    But there not urinals,they are the old ladies bogs, so they are proper traps like, with doors!

    I never had that problem due to the fact i been drinking in there for nearly 8 years!! SO if i bring any oppo fans in with me i say there with me and its ok.

    I can see why you wouldn't wanna go in there then if Lee was arsey with ya!

    I got stuck in that toilet a few years back..... an un-named no-necker from Bury decided it would be funny to push the matress over the door while I was in there...... Think the last laugh was on him though, imagine the number of unwashed that would of slept on, and probably done other 'things', on that matress.....

    I used to go to the Oak on a matchday, whenever I was up.
    Used to love summer/spring before the game, sitting in the garden in the sun with a real ale.

    But one by one, people I knew started drinking elsewhere.

    I'd love to see it become a decent boozer again.
    Too many traditional pubs are being lost.
