The demand for beambacks comes from when games aren't readily available. Such as the Derby at Tynie last season. Our games will be on BT Sports and shown in practically every pub in the city.

The Derby game wasn't on Sky or BT. If the game wasn't at 3pm on a Saturday Hibs might have held a beam back. Our games on BT will be readily available and sitting in a practically empty football stadium watching a game at a right angle to the way I'm sitting or on a screen the length if a football pitch away with no alcohol and in likely chilly conditions sounds brutal. We will make put money from theb1874 bar and any hospitality suites we are using. Edited August 12, 2022 by hughesie27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, E-Mails cost next to nothing, that's why if numbers were the only concern, the response to the circular E-Mail would either be encouraging, or shut the whole thing down Ok, the alcohol policy thing in the last response to Hughsie is everything; if anyone can answer that, it's a wrap It's almost a new thread worth now 😄 - Edited August 12, 2022 by Ricardo Quaresma Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to my knowledge no existing area to store kegs, the taps or pipes required to pour the beer, enough staff legally allowed to sell alcohol (majority of the kiosk staff on matchdays will be under 18 and those who arent will need to be put through a training course to sell alcohol.). All these things cost money. Money that will eat away any income brought in from crazy folk who would attend.
