bit of a history lesson, back at our previous home, wilderspool there used to be a club under the main stand call the touchdown, where a lot of ppl went for a pre match pint and a catch up, then filtering into the game.

they never replicated that here, but were aware they were losing money to the local pubs so at some point (cos the beer in the ground is overpriced and terrible), i cant remember when they tried to change part of the east stand banqueting (prawn sandwich) area into something similar, but not the same, but at a cost.

They've tried a couple of different versions now, this being the latest one, i dont know if its because the east stand suite isn't getting the corporate numbers anymore and they're trying something different .

The touchdown club was open most nights..it ran a darts and pool teams even tried a DJ for Sunday nights.

If it's a free pool table then at least I could get my moneys worth out of that and not have to watch the game.

I wonder how much a game of pool costs these days - 50p the last time I played.

It as been renamed as the The Station House, it’s a carvery now.

they got rid of the carvery about 6 months after they opened it.
The food is pretty decent in there though, big American style Burgers, Hotdogs & Grill etc.

A business trying to make money. What a joke, am I right? I'd much rather we don't bother and end up like Widnes.
It's like those stupid bloody mugs I saw the Facebook page advertise last night.. the club is obviously saying summat about what they think of us.
Works though, I on me way to buy one after work
