Railway Pub and players accommodation

[timvalefan]

I think Smurf already has a hotel in Crewe

 

Do you mean hovel?

[Jacko51]

Anyone know anything about a two storey pub being built down by where the ticket office supposed to be open by beginning of season

Broadly speaking, most of us need to detach our day job from our own life.

 

So I wonder how it would be for players to live and work at the same location. I also wonder if it would be a condition of signing or coming on loan that the players would HAVE to live in these flats? In other words, if they live off-site we won't be paying their accommodation costs. I understand it makes sense rather than paying hotel bills but there's a bigger picture here. Why don't we just build some flats elsewhere, somewhere better and more enticing?

 

Just a thought.

Didn't you realise Smithie that there are buildings like the one our owner is planning all over the country. They are normally called PRISONS

You can get all sorts of things in prison to help ease your existence there. Trouble is, none of them are either legal or called Hobgoblin.

I bet it's a damn sight easier to get hold a beer in prison than it in the Railway stand. Your average prison probably holds more stock.

Because of the size of beer containers they're next to impossible to smuggle in. Then again, as just about anything organic can be fermented (including boot polish!) you're a lot more likely to find 'hooch' inside, along with the eminently more smugglable drugs.

 

Maybe this could be a pointer to how to get recreational substances past the eager stewards at VP. That or just wait for the Blue One's multi storey hostelry to be built.

If we sign the striker we think we are going to he will need an apartment at the ground as he can not drive until 2022. Having been caught 3 times he clearly has big elbow trouble. Probbably not best to build a pub next to the apartments though

Why not, should do a roaring trade:laugh:

I wonder what the pub will be called? How about "Norman's Wrecked 'Em" ?

 

He could do his radio interviews live from there. "We'll be hearing from Norman's Wrecked 'Em soon" - it certainly wouldn't be the first time.

[wwindsor]

Can anybody actually see this happening anytime soon!!

Reminds me of a story (probably an urban myth) of a butcher in Douglas who registered the website isleofmanmeat .com and got some radio adverts made.

Looks like the bar has been rejected by SOT or Smurf has decided not do it, but his flats have been given the ok by Sot

[butt lane vale fan]

Looks like the bar idea has been withdrawn. Perhaps Nuneaton are having one instead lol
