I went to the Catalan curry nite and whilst it was okay the atmosphere in the bar wasn't condusive for letting yer hair down. There's a certain stuffiness in there which isn't my cup of tea. Mind you the thrashing we got didn't help!!!!
I'm actually going to the game stopping over at friends in Widnes but I hope it is a successful evening.
When the Robins Nest WAS the supporters club when we first moved to the new ground it was utilised much better than it is now, we don't have a supporter's club as such. I worked in the club during the first three years at New Craven Park and on a matchday we had 12 staff behind the bar and it was always about 3 deep at the bar, we were always rushed off our feet, serving beer and home made sandwiches. Sadly the Supporter's Club became a victim of the times, I worked during the week when there were more staff than customers in! Concert nights Saturday and Sunday brought alot of people in from the area but there just weren't enough 'bums on seats' so to speak. I'd love to see it resurrected, with a decent committee running it, lots of potential. I was quite sad the last time I went in to see that half of the club had been shut off with doors as apparently the area is used by away teams to eat after the game.
