I suppose at least they’re trying but I can’t see it running in the deep winter that’s for sure
I took my grandson aged 4 to his first game and he liked the fan zone. We stayed for about 30 minutes before going into the South Stand Bar.
By the time next season comes the Robin Park Arena will be completed and I expect there will be a facilities inside, so I don't understand the not running in deep winter part.
If however the fans don't support it and just carry on with all things negative, then it will fail, but of course it will then be the clubs fault.
I still can’t fathom the move out to robin park,if they’d bought it outright yes I could understand it but to just lease it and be responsible for all that work is well I’d say the council getting the better end of the deal.
I rarely bother with fan zones I go to the ground and watch the game,my hyper active German Shepard while is ok on her own I don’t like leaving her to much of a summer evening if no one can pop in,so the fan village is as I say something I wouldn’t use,nor would I use the south stand bar either and that could be the biggest problem for the long term as people are very much creatures of habit and will still go in there.
As for my comment about running it in the winter is down to the thought it was just outside is all no need to get precious about it to be honest.
As for robin park itself I find it an awful place to watch a game from though that may have changed as I hopefully will find out next week at the under 19 game,give me Orrell any day of the week.
