B1872 21,646 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 No! However surely making the Edminston Club into a pub/restaurant would be the way to go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperpete 3,186 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 No but they should explore the law and find a loophole to get bars in the foyers in the stands, this is a far better option and cheaper with big profits if their price point is right.There is and always will be a place for the Louden and WRC as not all fans would stand in the concourses and drink beer.

However surely making the Edminston Club into a pub/restaurant would be the way to go?Beats me why we aren't profiting the most from the large crowds we bring in i don't know much about Marketing but it seems we are making a lot of local businesses rich while struggling ourselves.Wee Abdul up the road sticks a pound extra on the Kebab and chips(all meals) on match days.

Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 My uncle used to own Cheers the off license just behind Copland so I think any establishment the club owned would generate at least a good income plus the trade in Govan is healthy even when a game is not on.

I notice there is another floor on top of the Louden; can that be renovated?We have planning in the works for an extension at the rear of the premises to put in a fully fledged third bar at the bear garden with new toilets and more work done on the beer garden itself.After that we are looking at adding another tier on with the current thought being related to food/hospitality though thats aspirational at this stage and we may decide to just continue with a similar model to what we have just now. The lounge has just finished most of a freshenin up though there is still plenty to do in there.GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
