Randy Lerner's Farewell ramble

[Dave Cooper please]

It's also a very good place for corporate entertainment and as place to hire for parties, wedding receptions etc.
In other words a very decent asset and it does look pretty good when walking to the ground that way.

I would much rather Randy's legacy had been a team who looked good on the pitch

[KevinGage]

Well yes, but it was renovated at a time when we were going for it on and off the pitch, so it's not as if he prioritised it over strengthening the team.

He lost interest in the end, so he deserves the lion share of any blame for our decline.

But it seems harsh to take pot shots at one of the few things he got right.

[Ron Manager]

Well it has been around for at least 150 years  when Henry Quilter owned it. As long as it has a use and doesn't cost the club a lot of money to
maintain when it is not booked  that is ok. Randy Lerner spent a few million doing it up and it is only right that the club should see a financial return for his project.

Its a handy place to drink on match days. 20 yards from the the turnstiles with a beer garden.

The trick with the busy bar is to get there early and buy 3 rounds at once. You won't catch me and Jane out that easily!

[Dave Cooper please]

Only 3? Jane's slowing down.

[amfy]

That's 3 rounds each!
