Think they sell Bud, Stella, John Smiths and a cider...To be honest it needs an overhaul on the taps. It's pretty rubbish.Would it change when the catering company goes?

Are there any local small breweries in the Donny area btw?
The beer is dreadful but it’s always packed in there, so no real financial incentive for them to change.

Do they show the early Premier League kick off in there? Would be good way of getting people in early doors.

The Belle Vue Bar is really good to have. When I frequent the place, I'm not going for a real ale exhibition, I just want the basics to help the prematch build up with my mates. The ambiance is generally very good, aided by the food van and stage outside with a bit of music etc.Ok, it gets busy at peak times but what do you expect for somewhere that's used by us once a fortnight. Very often the away fans compliment us on it compared to what they have at their own grounds and I've come across alot worse and not many better! So before you grind the place into the ground putting people off, not everyone shares the same dim views about the facilities on offer.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Below is my response to the above from DonnyBaz. Sorry, ballsed up the quote thing and don't know how to rectify it. I maybe would like to make use of the BV bar but can't because it serves squirrels piss. I would like to use the catering inside the ground but i haven't been able to for some considerable time because the food on offer isn't fit for human consumption. I'm a Rovers fan but am being denied equal enjoyment of the food and drink facilities because i have standards and they are an affront. So yes, i have a dim view of the facilities and rightly so because i can't participate in some ritualistic things that many fans take for granted due to the above and until the club address these woeful issues, i'll grind them into the ground until i am able to eat, drink and be merry at the Eco.
Squirrel sh*t! On this Topic, we clearly differ so I wish you all the best in finding somewhere more to your taste.
Real world problems, eh.?
