Shadders 4,135 Posted June 10, 2016 Meeting starts at 5.30-6pm, finishes prior to the football kick off and the Rye bar makes a killing from showing the game. Although having a pub a stones throw away may be the reason for this not being done in fairness. The long bar has been demolished. The top bar is inadequate.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted June 11, 2016 It's a shame about the long bar shads, it was one of my pre meeting haunts. The stadium does have a sparse feeling about it now, the improvements can't come soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JmeRay 53 Posted June 11, 2016 Not just competing with the football tonight but the sgp as well. Maybe a Sunday Raiders match would have been a better option for this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
