Might be talking shite , but think that was how it went Tennent's is owned by an Irish cider company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that's the thing, I'm partial to a few craft ales that are available, in fact there's too many to name but every now and then my mate will grace the doorstep with a few bottles for us to sample. I'll not go on a night out and drink an ale, I prefer sitting in the house in comfort supping away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithian Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Seems like the hospitality demand is massive. Eventually Wheatfield Stand will be redeveloped. Seems like they could line the top rows with some sort of Executive Suites or, more simply, loge/premium seating and sell it out in no time. Businesses love those types of things.

Some of the ideas touted on here are well worth considering, and I've no doubt that the club are on the case. One step at a time, though. A big fan's bar is a no-brainer and must be on the radar. Folks who have seen what's offered in e.g. Germany pre-match in the environs of the stadium must wonder what's stopping us from doing similar. Give it time and I think that we'll do something comparable. It really wouldn't impact on local businesses, in my opinion. Rather, it would be an added attraction for those who otherwise turn up 'just in time'. Awww, what the heck! Get an on-site Hearts brewery up & running and re-create those hoppy aromas.

Amanda the manager was saying that on one matchday recently the back bar only took £130 (possibly Dundee game) and they can have three rooms B&B filled most of the time it's probably a no brainer. Fair play to them, that’s a complete no brainier. Staff are brand new in there and it’s always a good pint too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
