Guest Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 They could even have a restaurant type pub with food like King Billy Burgers, Hello Hello Hot Dogs, and you could have the ol Bangers and Mash while getting up to yer knees in chips n cheese Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,728 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I know how much that pub can take in on a match day.It would surprise you how viable it is even only for games.I lived in Copland road for 25 years and remember how much that shithole stadium bar madeYeah mate I agree.I was replying to a poster talking about bars closing daily and the problems for a bar that is only open once a fortnight or so.My Louden example was proof to him it must be sustainable and profitable otherwise it wouldn't be here.

The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 You would think they could put some of their profits into improving the places - the WRC is an absolute shit hold and The Louden is getting a bit tired too.No we aren't. We're constantly renovating the premises.To say we are tired in the weeks after we have renovated the Lounge and expanded the bottle bar is untrue and unfair.GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I agree, it's a waste of time going to the WRC or the louden pre or post match. Just spend half your time waiting to get served.I also think that is wrong in our case - we have plenty of staff and three separate serving areas.I really don't see how you would spend "half your time" waiting to be served.GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Is the old Stadium bar still standing? If it is that might be an option for the club to buy it and reopen it on match days.OK it is technically at the wrong end of the stadium but that would only be a problem twice a season.You at the wind up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The club should look into some sort of franchise style partnership with known Rangers pubs/owners.That way we get something relatively official and Rangers supporters livelihoods are protected.We were The Official West of Scotland Public House Partner of Rangers FC Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we had a flood light installed 2 weeks ago (described as being like the sun in a facebook post by a longtime regular ) as its now getting to the winter months and as far as I'm aware TV's aren't allowed outside due to licensing restrictions - but I'm going to be checking that up prior to the work being done on our extension that we recently got planning permission through for.GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
