VSC lunchtime meet up at P'Boro???

[Gartom]

Hi all,
Been reading all the insights re our new, exciting situation! A few lines made me smile - to say the least.  ....but then again why let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!

Steve Kendrick (Berkshire Rover)and I are heading up to P'boro on Saturday and thought it might be useful to have a 'get-together'with those who can make it -  to go thru all this 'exciting' stuff...and add our tuppence worth after our chat with JR recently - and please note I hope to talk to JR tomorrow too.

Any thoughts on a suitable venue where we could meet up about 1pm / 1.30 pm and have a chat...and a pint of course !
Cheers,
Gareth

I'll be there with a thirst for Jagerbombs, dunno any venue's though will await for the rendez-vous point!

[mushRTID]

Please gartom just put my mind at rest....

Are we getting a new goalie or what??

[Uhtred]

Delighted, great idea. Can I buy aticket on the day at Peterboro?

[Gartom]

I will check today.....

Any thoughts folks on a venue...was there a Sports bar near the ground ???....an old memory from when we won there a while ago....and we scored from a corner too! ( it was Foster!!!)

As a shareholder I think the VSC has an obligation to it`s share holders to find out what really is going on at DRFC, there`s a lot of speculation and hear say at the moment, some of it may be true or it might all be a load of shite, personally myself, as a shareholder in the VSC which in turn is a shareholder in DRFC have a right to know!

The Brewery Tap opposite the station is excellent. Real ales and thai food aplenty.

You've persuaded me!

[Wade Falana]

How far is the station away from the ground?

[Sheepskin Stu]

A leisurely 15 minute walk.

[Gartom]

HI Stu,
Do we know if they will allow away supporters tho ?

[Gartom]

By the way, you can buy tickets on Saturday - but cash only !

[Sheepskin Stu]

HI Stu,

It opens at 12 so if you get there early enough and don't go looking for a good ruck I'm sure you'll be fine. Not wearing replica shirts is always good.

Something a bit closer to the ground may be better for those of us travelling by coach though....

Mmmm- could be just the place for me. I'm on the train on Saturday. Expecting to get in around 12.30. I think the bus stops are just around the corner so it may be possible to get a bus to London Road after lunch and a few beers.

[ctay]

Can I come any pay my membership on the day?

[scuzzer]

Sounds like a fine venue to me, on the train too.

[Berkshire Rover]

Can I come any pay my membership on the day?

You most certainly can,

This may be one of the reasons folk are reluctant to join the VSC, my comment, a valid one at that, has been completely ignored in favour of a debate about where to have a pre match pint!

[ditch_drfc]

Are all fans welcome - non-members alike?

You may arrive as a non member, but you'll definitely leave as a member.

Filo,

A very valid question, and most of what you have asked has been answered in various formats this week. However I hardly think that a thread about meeting up for a pint is the right place to ask the question that you did. This thread is about meeting up for a pint, maybe you could meet up on Saturday and get a fuller answer to your question? If not then we could do it some other time to suit.

It's already in hand, Dave.  The question was raised yesterday, and I spoke with Gareth yesterday afternoon the express that we need to speak with John.  Gareth is having a telephone call with him today.

[Gartom]

Hi,
Yes - just to stress - we always welcome any Rovers fan at our meetings - or pub haunts ! Please come along so we can have a good ole chat / overview.

As to Filo, sorry you feel ignored - I'm not on the forum 24/7 you know!
Yes we are looking into the whole affair - and asking those awkward questions...but I still dont have all the answers....watch this space

[Filo]

Martin, I take the point that probably a thread about a lunchtime pub meet is perhaps not the ideal place to post it, but given the implication that the meet was to discuss recent events, I thought the question might be relevant to the meet up. As for being at the meeting, unfortunately I will not be there, away games are out for me on a Saturday as I start work at 6pm on Saturdays nights, home games are a mad rush to get home in time!

Rob, glad to hear things are in hand, I know sometimes things are said in high places that are confidential, but a little more communication sometimes would n`t go amiss, especially with all the speculation going around at the moment.

Gareth, I know you can`t be on the forum 24/7 and you do a great job, keep up the good work and lets hope you get some honest answers when you talk to JR

[RobTheRover]

Wow, Gareth has filled out since I last saw him!

[scuzzer]

Do we have a confirmed venue yet?

[benaldo]

Woofies - club for the bronzed and beautiful man?

Serving all manner of beers and pie and peas apparently.
