No. Although it does ask if I'm over 18 the whole bloody time.

I think you are right Dave - "Ansells bittermen - you can't beat em "
I'm sure that tag line was used in the advert too

I imagine Purslows has had a fairly high work load over the summer, but as CEO do we know if all the commercial failings (including merchandise and catering issues) are on his agenda to be addressed? He doesn’t strike me as someone who would let a stone go unturned and wouldn’t turn a blind eye to areas that are costing the club revenue.

Haven't seen it mentioned on here but we've done a deal with Virgin trains which gets season ticket holders and members 20% off.

Granted it only makes them expensive rather than bend-over-son-and-take-it expensive but still...

We started that last year I think, although no one knows if it will remain when Virgin stops.

Do they do a lager too or just ales?

I wonder if we’ll see pop up stands on the concourses to assist with the queues at usual outlets.

That would be good. Fulham used to have people walking around behind the away end with backpacks like astronauts. They only sold bottled Carlsberg, mind.


I have seen that done at Villa Park in/under the North Stand a few years ago.

No, that wasn’t the post-European Cup final one.

that's great. What other offers are there through Pride Membership? I'm trying to log in but it's being a pain in the arse
