Same problem at Merchie Hearts ( and the fan’s bar ) - busy on match days and quiet the rest of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was possibly the problem, i.e. that the only time the club was busy was on those days when HMFC were playing at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubyruby Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Fans bar too expensive, takes forever to get served & very small, not enough seats so the p.o club was always a better place to go to.was at an 18th in the club last night & heard about it happening.

If run correctly, they should be a proper alternative to pubs. The BMC is a good example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico1874 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Sad movies. My favourite pre match pint! Not sure where to head now. Writing was probably on the wall when they got rid of Sky football on the telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambos are go! Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Given that Anne has said that they are looking to utilize vacant areas of the new stand then surely there is scope for the Warders Club and the Merchie to discuss options with the Club. Even the BMC. They may have equity in their property to trade. Edited December 23, 2018 by jambos are go! Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merchiston Hearts club have cut their cloth accordingly and are doing very well,closed for a few days when their isn't any demand .Id also add that much of the Merci's resurgence is due to a specific group of volunteers who freely give up their own time for the good of the club and its members.
