daveyhmfc Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Given that there is a possibility of turning up tomorrow night and not gaining entry; I was wondering what the likelihood is of gaining entry to the BMC, Merchiston Hearts or the locarno snooker club with my 14 yr old? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayfield Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 A GOPro in the corner of the ceiling in the bar would be great to look at celebrations after big celebrations and wins. Easy for the club to arrange I’d think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Was quite quiet after the match last night. They now serve Coast to Coast Pale Ale which is an improvement on the lagers. Not convinced by the heating though as it was pretty cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah O Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Went to watch the derby in there. Arrived approx 90 mins before KO to get into the spirit, as had others, but the lack of seating meant we stayed for one and left. Huge area beyond the bar that was empty. About 2 tables at the very start (front door area) of the bar and about 3 tall tables for getting your lean on. Obviously all tables and all 5 seats were being used when we arrived so it meant standing in an empty space. No way were we wanting to stand for 90 mins pre match then for the game itself. I can see why the empty space would be useful on home match days to cram the fans in, but for away televised games it was pish. For the televised games the place should be awash with tables and chairs. The Diggers enjoyed circa 20 pints worth of takings from my group as a result.

3fingersreid Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve been there , especially the derby when the place was rocking and today when my daughter was legally allowed to buy me a pint . The only thing I’d introduce about it is a no standing at the bar after being served policy , although the lack of tables might be an issue if folk want to put their drinks down . Perhaps in time the club could open another bar at the other end of the stand too if demand requires it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 When they say the bar closes 30 minutes before kick off I assume that's last orders and you're not actually getting pushed out and having to take your seat at a stupid time?

jambocraig89 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 went into the bar last night, was ok but is this just a pop up bar or is it the finished article?. Looked very basic inside, not a lot of screens and seems to be a lot of empty space but not a lot of tables or chairs. Just had a couple of tables and a couple of barrels to put your drink on. Prices where ok and the selection of drink wasn't to bad either. Would like to see the club do a bit more it with funds permitting obviously. I would probably go back if i was at that end of the stadium collecting tickets or buying the something from the club shop. But in the mean time would probably just stick to my usual watering hole before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
