Supporters Bar.....

F

Former user.

You may have noticed a lack of progress on the old club shop being converted into the promised "fanone" bar.

It is now considered that it would be better placed in empty space under the Sir Tom Finney stand...... I think it was mentioned by someone last week that there are plans for the press and changing room facilites under there too, although when that will be I have no idea.

I would assume that this will enable them to knock down the building for parking as annonced with the training ground plans, although I would rather suspect that these plans for the supporters bar changed when it was communicated to the Isle of Man.
 
I heard it was basically going to be where Finney’s is now, which hasn’t proved particularly popular.
 
The bottom line is that the club is up for sale and it is unlikely that Mr Hemmings will spend anything else on infrastructure....well that’s how it looks to me.

Things only get sold at the right price though, which makes me wonder if a change in ownership maybe some time off yet.

Is the Finney Stand still used as a storage facility for the National Football Museum? THis would further reduce the space available. The bit that goes into the Kop where you used to take a penalty in the museum might be big enough for a bar, and would benefit from having that viewing platform out onto the pitch which would be a nice feature as the ground fills up before the game. Though the gym in the Kop has extended since the museum shut so may have taken up that space.
 
Not sure why the club spout off at forums and stuff about opening a bar somewhere when it hasn't even been fully costed yet ?

They seem to come up with these ideas quite a lot but the funding it never there when it comes down to it.

The same could probably be said about the training ground.

The costing for the bar in the old club shop was over twice what the club were prepared to spend on it.
