Scores Bar — In the know, Mon Jul 9 14:02

There's been much chat (on various threads now way below) about Scores and how it should be run. But many of the ideas being put forward have been tried before, some just can't be implemented and... more
- I had a bitter in the Vere suite following the Legends game — BD, Tue Jul 10 10:58
  
  ..I don't know what brew it was, presumably it was a Greene King concoction, but I had trouble finishing the pint it was so awful.
- Re: Scores Bar — Pam Sadarka, Tue Jul 10 10:15
  
  Just a few(!) observations. Real Ales Agreements have to be renewed every so often and so the chance to change will come up on a regular basis. It is all very well going for the cheapest option but... more

  .. the selling of real ales. The brewery will have loads of them on its list. And it's not about making jaw dropping profits from real ale either. Why should one only stock something because the... more
- - As long as selling ale makes money — Chris, Mon Jul 9 19:58
    
    that's fine - but my worry is that selling real ale wouldn't make a profit. I would have thought the main objective of Scores is revenue generation, with a secondary objective of 'improving the... more
  - - Other way round I reckon Chris — Bilversack, Tue Jul 10 23:02
      
      Improving the matchday experience will then increase revenue generation overall - in theory anyway. Will mean more people will come back, there's no way it's going to win new business, it needs to... more
    - Why do you not think that selling ale would make a profit? — Ed, Mon Jul 9 20:10
      
      It's rather a popular drink in the UK.
    - - I think around 75% of beer sales are lager — Chris, Mon Jul 9 20:28
        
        Real ale isn't 'that' popular. But as I said, if it doesn't reduce profits, by all means.
      - True overall — Pam Sadarka, Tue Jul 10 10:02
        
        but statistics show that sales of craft/traditional ales are rising whereas those of lager are falling. At a guess, I would imagine that the sales in the Vere Suite (I haven't been to Scores since... more
        Yes, that's about right. — Ed, Mon Jul 9 22:12
        
        So you would cut off 25% of your beer market?
        Are you not reading my actual posts? (nm) — Chris, Tue Jul 10 05:59

        You think? — Arnos Grove, Mon Jul 9 21:39
        
        But give the stat emphatically anyway. I am a card carrying CAMRA member who only ever drinks lager at AP. Reason? The real ale they sell there is a danger to health! And let's nail this myth that... more
        I wouldn't touch the ale in there at present either .. — Ed, Mon Jul 9 22:45
        
        .. but I tend to go for Guinness as the alternative rather than lager. Of course, as you say, it is a total myth that you cannot sell ale in Scores. It's not hard, you just order the right amount and ... more
  - Is there any idea in place for a 125-year ale? — My Only Wycombe, Mon Jul 9 19:24
    
    Isn't a brewery around here missing a really good marketing opportunity by naming ales after players.etc?
  - - I should say so — Ed, Mon Jul 9 19:45
      
      They could have a seasonal range. A summer ale out for the start of the season, a late autumn red, then an Xmas ale or a stout followed by something light to auger in the spring. 'Adam's Ale' (sic)... more

  was the way in which the Vere Suite, although often with prior notice on the club website, was closed to everyone, including members, in favour of hired-out functions. This was particularly... more
- - I refused to pay last year and went in the Vere regardless — Tory Goon, Mon Jul 9 20:39
    
    I refused to be the mug who paid while membership was never checked. There really is no reason not to open Scores post match. Players can come in either bar as in most previous scenes. It's not... more
- Adams Park being located at the end of an industrial estate — BD, Mon Jul 9 14:33

    Survey shows they are mainly Man U fans, not suitable for our club. No prawn sandwiches on sale.

    but how many people these days, generally, socialise after work in a pub? Maybe for a leaving do, but those are generally at lunch time. People just don't his the pubs like they used to. Scores best... more

    I think some of those leading the club really have been as deaf as that old woman! I, too, agree there should be purely Wycombe memorabilia in there. Let's face it - there are plenty of good memories ... more

      I suggest you consider moving to a hotel closer to the sea - or preferably in it.
