Supporters' Trust / Redfearn's and a grand day out

I'll spare you my inexpert and post-pub views on today's game but a big thanks to [MENTION=6673]Hicksy[/MENTION], [MENTION=6641]owen[/MENTION] et al for the little things that made today a special day out. Redfearn's bar is a great addition to the matchday experience and everyone involved should be very proud of themselves. Missed the chance to have a chat with [MENTION=54434]Cunning Stunt[/MENTION] as he stormed past on a mission to the bar (I'll give you the excuse that my hair is 2 foot shorter than when last we met) but [MENTION=6779]Turvey Tyke[/MENTION] reckons we must sort out this Philharmonic twinning thing with [MENTION=6746]LiverpoolRed[/MENTION].

That's enough namechecks for tonight.

A very happy (and more than a little merry) Burgundy Red.

 

Mmm, I don't reckon you can twin the toilets in Redfearns with the ones in the Phil!

 

No mate, I'm talking about the West Stand Bogs. Didn't visit the ones in Redfearn's but I'm sure they don't threaten either of the extremes represented by those singular pissoirs.

 

Ah, now you're talking. Maybe we could combine some of those awful daytime reality shows and do a bog swap. Our more discerning fans in the West Stand get to have a week urinating in the splendour of a grade II listed ornamental rest room, whilst in Liverpool unsuspecting punters can suddenly be surprised by fat American ladies leaning round the door and taking a snap of them with their todger out* pi55ing against a mouldy old wall whilst standing ankle deep in urine!

* seriously, you used to have to make sure you had your back to the door whilst weeing in the Phil when I lived over there, and I presume you still do, as you never knew who'd pop their head round the door with a camera poised.

 

I've only been in "the Phil" a couple of times and that was a long time ago but it sticks in the mind. A good mate of mine when I was at Uni was from over that way and the pub featured on a couple of liquid afternoons around the various and varied boozers of that great city. I'm proud of the twinning idea and it'd be brilliant if the WBS guys could pull something off, even just as a tongue-in-cheek thing.

 

Doors shut at 2:15 yesterday and told that they don't let anyone in after that time. 2.15?

 

Run by volunteers who want to watch the match (and probably still missed the start and end from what I saw). Numbers limited by license too so one-in-one-out once the limit is reached. There was plenty of space at 2 o'clock though and we had membership cards and pints within 2 minutes of walking in at that time.

 

I must say Redfearns has added to the match day experience and me and the lad get in as much as we can. Gave the P&P a miss yesterday. The limit can always be a risk. Staff do a great job so thank you to everyone who runs it. Great job.

 

We left around 2:30. The 2 stooges on the door were telling folk that the bar closed at half 2.

 

We was in before 2, enjoyed watching the Ipswich v Derby game. They never let anyone in after 2.30.

 

I was 4th in the qu at just gone 2pm. He's right, security dude was letting folk in as golf were leaving. As I got in 2.10ish he said to the remaining folk (8-10ish) that unless loads left the bar now, it's not worth waiting as can't let folk in after 2.15 cos there'd be no chance of gerrin a drink.
was the young lad with yellow vest on. But I'm sure he was relaying a message from the 'blue coat' inside.

 

Consider yourself appointed to the West Stand Bogs Twinning Committee then, mate.

 

I was thirsty! I kept looking to come over, you n Turvey were clacking like Jack n Vera! Then you'd gone. Next time fella.

 

It's becoming a habit. I'm quite alcoholically promiscuous though - I'll drink almost anywhere.
