Stupid decision. People should have got there ar$es into gear and got tickets. The SS bar is pitiful for bar service for large groups, whereas Walkabout is a lot better.

I thought it was a fans forum not a drinking session

You already have - your £4 will be paying for the venue and Whelan's pies.

A thinly veiled excuse to head to the Anvil afterwards if ever I heard one...

Nothing. However, when they judge the location for a fans forum on the basis of its ability to serve drinks then I like anybody else am perfectly entitled to express an opinion. We are allowed to agree / disagree and debate.

I bet the Walkabout Management are really happy about this...!!

Opinion is not necessarily the same as debate. Neither is jumping to conclusions about 'drinking sessions'.

Now this may/may not be your opinion but most people accompany food with a drink, alcoholic or not, the only place in either location to obtain that drink is the bar. So it is a relatively important service.

And regarding tickets, it was made clear from the outset that tickets were limited. The excuse that it was always going to sell out is very poor indeed.

The ticket sales will more than likely now outnumber the available seats, and eating your pe and peas, watering down your food, asking questions and listening is going to be an absolute ball ache.

Makes you wonder if father Jack has had another strop with IL. I'm adamant that i will not now or ever buy another drink or food in that ground or bar again as long as the old git is still breathing.

But then if they'd have got their arses into gear and got their tickets, the people who have tickets now wouldn't have them and would still want them and so there would still be extra people wanting to go and they'd have to move anyway... Plus there is no disabled access to get upstairs in Walkabout and the downstairs is pretty small.

Gutted about missing the Aussie buffet though.

Aye I was really looking forward to that too. Can't be doing with Pooles
