Starting with this Saturday’s Carnegie Challenge Cup Third Round tie against French club Pia Donkeys fans coming to Cougar Park will be able to enjoy a refreshing new service.

The Cougars are introducing a new bottled beers bar at the southern end of the Cougar Park stadium between the Jewson Stand and the southern terrace.

Helen Carter, the Cougars’ General Manager, said: “Many Rugby League fans like a beer when they’re watching their favourite teams in action and we’re introducing this new service to make life that much easier for them.

“Although we have bars in the main stand not all the fans watch the game from there and we want all the fans to be able to enjoy a drink at the game”.

For the Cup fixture the Cougars will be supplying the bar with bottled lagers and Carter added: “We will be looking for some feedback from the fans to see what kind of beers they prefer to have at the bottle bar.

“Rugby League fans have a great reputation for being able to enjoy a beer and behave themselves so that’s why we’re very happy to make this new service available at CougarPark”.

Bottles?Is that wise?

sorry,didnt read it correctly

Really good idea I think it will be a major success.

p*ss head

Excellent.

Well done Cougars , i am overjoyed with it and will gladly get through a 6 pack and hope rest of the drinking fraternity join me .

Noticed at Barrow they were on the terraces with quite large size plastic screw cap beer bottles ( and this was mostly the ladies !) and not a bit of trouble to be seen.

As already mentioned we'll just have to see how popular it is though if its as cold as its turned this week we'll be needing hot OXO not beer cum Saturdy night.

Come on lads get to Cougar park Saturday , lets go for the next round and cause an upset , its time we did. But the lads could do with a bit of noise behind them.

carlsberg man at Barrow was great. plastic bottled lager is fine. Great that you are trying out these things Helen
