Absolutely f@cking wasn't!!! I used to argue like mad with Matty but he was a passionate Terras fan who I didn't always agree with, but he was always keen for the club to survive and succeed. Blacklisted is clueless troll. But he’s absolutely switched on Mark. Why did it take 16+ years to install an Away Fans Bar. an absolute priority? I promised myself I wouldn't...but here goes anyway. If you'd been around you'd know that for 12 of those 16 years there was rarely any need for segregation as away fans could use the main bar. Once the team got promoted back to the National League again there were issues with licencing, COVID and initial outlay. I know you like to think it was your idea but it was something that was discussed regularly at board meetings whenever the prospect of segregated games arose.

You speak as though Blacklisted actually has the capacity to understand sense and logic. Alas, not.

So 37 years after leaving the Rec, there is now an Away Fans Bar?

How many of those 37 seasons have the club had regular segregated matches and hence the need for separate bars ?
Is it fair and reasonable to blame the current board for decisions made or not made 37 years ago ?

Am I missing something?? The wasn't an away bar once upon time, there is now. So we missed out on sales back then, ok, move on this is a nothing whinge.
I really don't get the axe grinding about this.

90% of games over the last 23 years or so would not have made opening an away bar viable . funding the construction back then, the costs of maintenance over the years and opportunity cost afforded to this under used (resource)facility.. Suggest to me that the board got this right! One must also remember alcohol was banned at most football ground within this time frame too.

Blacklisted puts out the bait and people bite. We could just ignore him I try to ignore it, honest I do, but sometimes the bollocks that he writes can't just be left in the public domain without some form of counter. All right-minded people know that he spouts bollocks, but the club is trying to attract a wider fan base, and the casual bystander might take his bullshit as fact.

Fun fact about our "Away Bar losses", If i remember correctly, we still sold away fans beer a few times, putting cans into plastic pint pots?
Therefore the argument is then invalidated entirely.

Plenty of times, there has been as many away fans in the top bar as home fans, We didn't need an away bar.
