kingantti1874 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Having a think about ways the club can continue to generate some money during this shit show . With the news that pubs and restaurants with outdoor spaces will likely be allowed to open in July, wouldn’t it be cool if we monetised the plaza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paolo Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Good idea, but social distancing would still be in place, and fans could not mingle at all. Not sure how viable it would be, with staffing and other costs. Worth considering, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea, we need to look at every avenue possible that could generate the club money. Given the criticism of the sterile atmosphere in the club bar, maybe you should be the new manager, as that's some good thinking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Maybe the club could sell beer vouchers that could be purchased beforehand so queuing each time you bought drinks would be less. Just have pints ready to pick up from an outside table or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah O Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Great idea if they can get permission from the council it's something that should be done. If noise would be a problem, could they use the stands for seating? 😱 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You go to a window, order and pay contactless, get told where to wait and the barmaid brings your drinks out and lays them on a table nearby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kila Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Need some of the local Edinburgh breweries to get involved with the beer supply. They need to add the trees too, so we can enjoy the stand with less grey panels visible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glamorgan Jambo Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Aren’t the Corn Exchange planning to convert their huge car park into an outdoor pub for the summer? If they can do it then why can’t we. I’d be up for it over the summer if I was permitted both to leave Wales, and then enter Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They might allow it if there were market stalls or some form of attraction other than getting blootered. It probably wouldn’t get a late licence in any case but afternoon/early evening might work licensing officers are still working (from home - my brother works for that department - I’ll ask him what the view MIGHT be) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gashauskis9 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 They’ve got a massive beer garden the size of a football pitch about 50 yards away, let’s think big 👍👍👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyCant Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Update. Brother reckons getting occasional licences would be okay. no covered areas (such as gazebos or marquees)all seated (no bar and no standing area) table service only with full SD measures in place and protected one way routes to and from toilets. Environmental Health would need to inspect and approve and they will give maximum numbers to be strictly observed (so probably ticket only entry) unlikely to get occasional licence before 12 or after 9pm for an outdoor temporary beer garden in a residential area.

I walked passed there today and it looks like they are building what looks like outside booths to accommodate customers. So a bit of lateral thinking can overcome some perceived problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
