What sort of football club can the town of Bolton support?

[norm the jedi]

What is this CAMRA

Are we really at the point where a pint of Nurdlingtons Fagwangler and and a Mrs Blumenthals exploding pie is the peak of the match day experience and the master plan for getting more bodies on..
Have we given up on the football to such an extent that we're only going to turn up for had cooked Brannigans crisps and Cordon Bleu Burgers.
I'm obviously out of step but I've only ever given a shit about the footie, a decent read of the programme and only consider a beverage usually hot and biege of indeterminately genre when it assists in stopping me freezing me bollacks off.

If the footie is feckin mince who gives a feck about the pie filling.

It's fairly simple to serve edible pies and beer that doesn't taste of piss, so why would you not? The more ways to get punters to hand over cash can only be a good thing surely?

No, but if they're on offer at sky high prices then what;s wrong with asking for quality? And you buy programmes FFS

one imagines their sales figures currently sustain the belief that 1000's of daft sods consider them neither inedible or undrinkable [running out of pies suggests that at least]
I just doubt there are three people who wouldn't watch a decent team with shit pies. I even doubt there are three people who will stop watching a shit team because of the pies..
The Product is the footie.. we go to the match .. well I do - Value added match day experience ? Advertorial shinny suited, Charlotte street, coke inflected, bollocks. imv.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Running out is most likely not ordering enough rather than some genius plan. Fact is, by offering better stuff you stand a good chance of selling more. You might not get more bodies through turnstiles, but maximising the spend of those that do is what successful businesses do.

Nowt but it seems to be being suggested that the difference between 13000 and 20,000 is quality ales and better class of pie crust.
I go a maximum of 5 times a year if I didn't buy a programme I have no chance of recognising half the team and it's what I've always done. Value don't enter into it..

But you still buy programmes?

The programme is shockingly bad. I'd sooner see some fanzines sold outside the ground.

No one is suggesting that quality ale's alone will suddenly see attendances surge, but it'd be a symbolic gesture and a step in the right direction. The fact is, the club needs to do more to improve the experience for all and not just kids and families. More connection with fans who are feeling alienated by ticket prices, shite football, and shite products in and around the ground is needed imo.

[norm the jedi]

I'd personally rather read a shit programme than eat a shit pie just a crazy individual I guess...
Bottom line is I don't care about anything other than the 95 minutes in front of me on the pitch.
I couldn't even tell you what's on offer. I can get all the overpriced, nutritionally questionable, overprocessed shite on the retail park or at any of 9 service stations on the way home.
I just go to a football ground for the football....
I have clearly lost it...

[jonnycooper]

Fleetwood town serve Peroni for the more discerning palate! Plus chips and gravy are on offer too!

[Worthy4England]

If you've been attending regularly, then you'd know that a decent beer before/after the match is indeed the highlight of the matchday experience...if they could just sort out "during" it'd be a whole heap better....

I've not been doing due to geography and the National hunt / Point to Point season.
I suspect nowt , short of already having purchased a season ticket, would entice me in at the minute.
Not even the prospect of a pint of Albert Futtocks Old Peculiar wazzock wobbler.

[Jugs]

Old Peculiar, yes please!

I have a season ticket, and to be honest, mate, I still go under duress.

I vote that they serve Jennings Snecklifter - then I'd go on the bus and get utterly fecking arseholed!

Just remembered that a while ago, I wrote on here that going watching Bolton had become like a bored child forced to visit an elderly relative.

Absolutely nailed it. And yes, it seems we are.

Or a kid being dragged to church in order to praise something he didn't really believe in and sing along just because?
