Firstly i would like to say a big thank you to all the Nottingham supporters that made there way down to Damson Parkway on Sunday thank you for your patience you where a credit to your club as always & it was a pleasure to have a chat & a beer with you all before during & after the game.I hope you all had a safe jorney home.

With regards to the new ground i wish to point out as SABees has already mentioned that there is a large function room which holds in the region of 200 people unfortunately this was unavaliable to us on Sunday as there was a function being held there on the evening which had been previously booked before the agreement between ourselves & Moors had been completed.

Moors have informed us that no more bookings will be taken on our matchdays & this room will be avaliable for every other game .

There is an entrance/exit door from the function room that will be open to allow people in to bar without the hassle of having to walk through the stand therefore disturbing the people watching the game.

The other 2 smaller bars used on sunday will im lead to believe also be open.

With regards to the beer i am sure that the conversation will go on with regards to a cask ale i know how popular it is with the Bees supporters however i would also wish to state that in my honest opinion there is a bigger selection of beers at DP than most clubs i have visited there are 2 draught bitters 2 draft ciders & Mild dont ask me about the largers i hate the stuff

If my memory seves me rightly you cant get a pint of cider or real ale once your in the ground at meadow lane unless of course that has recently changed... i hope it has because we are usually about 30 points down after 20 minutes when we visit & thats when i really need my cider

There are also number of toilets avaliable at the ground as well it was more of a matter that none of us knew where exactly they where but dont worry we will find them.

All in all i felt that our first match at DP went very very well it was a big learning curve for everyone involved & of course things will improve just give us a little time.

Dagfish - good points and I was not criticising only making suggestions and with all new ventures there are going to be teething troubles - it may well be someone is already sorting this out for the next home match.

I am sure they were far to busy with the basics, like ensuring the pitch was marked out correctly and the correct goal posts up with no nets for the first game - none of which is as trivial as it sounds - to be too worried about beer.

However, I am sure that if the right person has a quiet word in the ear of the bar manager he would put some real ale on if he an be persuaded it will turn a profit - whoever that profit is going to.

However, having done similar negotiations with venues for Science Fiction conventions, I am well aware bar managers tend to be risk adverse - so try getting figures from other clubs that have done this to back up your case if you can - and it might take someone promising to take the risk of buying any unsold beer the first time so they can see it works.

Even if you do not get the profit, if you get the beer right, the fans will enjoy their day more and are more likely to come back with their friends.

Best of luck, hope Damson Parkway works for you and the team does well.

I went to the Manchester v Students game and although the score-line suggests same old story, the Manchester boys competed well and made Students work hard for their deserved win. Manchester started with what could be described as a hang-over from last season; some basic errors coupled with some slick handling from Students got the score board to 3-32 at the interval. Second half – Manchester put Students under a lot of pressure which resulted in 2 yellow cards but alas no pressure on the 2 lads operating the scoreboard! A slick midfield move by Students in the last 10 minutes saw the half close out 0-14 and final score 3-46

Enjoyed the game and the chicken burger in the new look function room

Have to agree with MRC1860. Thought the Manchester boys stood up to the task well, especially in the second half where they showed some gutsy defending. Students looked a strong outfit and will be serious contenders again this season. Hopefully the Manchester lads will take heart from their performance especially in the second half and continue to improve throughout the season.

Didn't get to try the chicken burger so I can't pass comment on the food. Might treat myself to one this weekend.

Read this and consider whether it really is worth writing any more on this topic!

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax
Of cabbages - and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot,

And whether pigs have wings."

Bit primitive, but nice friendly place to watch rugby. Any more than a very small crowd would swamp it. Not enough stewards, badly laid out car park. Seem to have forgotten to install one of the floodlight gantries (only 3 on clubhouse side). Pitch slopes top to bottom and side to side.
To be honest, while I really liked the feel of the place it is not up to Championship standard and will need substantial investment before it will do so. However a step up from the old ground (which I also really enjoyed).

Hold on a minute! Have you been taking spin lessons from Alastair Campbell?

If as we now learn that the creditors meeting was held on September 1 and no creditor attended, the answer to that question is not in the public domain.

As you seem to be in the know Blackrow, wouldn't it be a service to fellow posters if you let us in on the secret?

Then we would be in a position as rugby supporters and taxpayers to judge whether or not we would benefit from "knowing this info."

Is anyone ashamed of releasing this information?

£150,000 to the tax man I believe ! And as a long standing supporter don't agree with it either . If the club members feel strongly then they will get there say at any future egm/agm's where they can question the many long standing committee members .

Thanks for some straight talking C allblack

Hope I don't post on this subject again!!!
