We have chucked in 7 temps today and we aim to have a marquee bar and another bar in the car park when dry !, we have tried to run from the inside bar for the last two matches,but you could all see the dangers with carrying on with one bar,so we will have 2 or 3 bars on the next 9 home games and the play offs if we don`t go up automatically !!! ...The downside to this is we will have no more for the first 5 months of next season,so unless the landlords back us and vary the licence,they will lose us,on safety grounds it will be a nightmare in the summer months,its bad enough in jan !! c u all sat !.

Appreciate your hard work mate. Don't suppose your landlord is likely to pay you a visit so we could thank him for being such a generous soul?

Whats the chances of you giving the pub up in the summer Tim? I wouldnt blame you at all, but would obviously be a shame to lose you from the priory

The rent is reasonable at 1k as its a free house with a stadium,but f--- me it is desolate in the winter months,we take less than £100 a day 4 days a week,fri been taking under £200 when darts away,sat pi ss poor unless footy on,sunday £300.00, and after 7 years the time is rite to move on maybe,we need to take 4k plus on match day,no outside bar we take 2k so it aint rocket !!,mums gone,dads got alzheimers and needs me,baby billi has more energy than linford f------ christie lol and then gob almighty !!! , i need a rest !!!, joking apart m8 we are done be mid to end of may we bail out,firoka want catering van off site,more money for licence variation,they can have the keys back with a smile,i will still buy a season ticket even if i am barred from the ground, we got a great chairman,team,but the supporters are awesome,i have been to stamford bridge/old trafford hundreds of times but i would rather go away with our lot,one big family,love it,live for it,all we need is kelvin/wp to buy this ground/priory and we will take some money for this great club,good times are around the corner,enjoy them,been several desperate years,but your on the up,and promotion this year be the icing on the cake,c u sat.

Tim, you might need even more staff if rumours are correct that Kassam is taking 100% of profits from ground sales! What a rip-off merchant! I won't be spending another penny in that exhibition bar if that's the case. See you in the Priory.

Firoka were never going to pass big cheques onto oufc,all that 50/50 bollocks is to get people buying the booze,after expenses are taken out oufc i would have thought be lucky to get 50p in a pint sold.but thatsonly my thoughts not fact...We will enjoy the next 9 games,give firoka a month to make a decision,they work very slowly when they want too !!, the marquee was approved by firoka so you never know,they may help us to see the lease through to july 2012,but we will leave then if not this may,the police/landlords/general running of the pub becomes frustrating and time consuming,family also need alot of my time,but scholsie is happy to run the bar on a daily basis and he is a cracking lad,i have spoken to firoka twice re reducing rent in the past and they did on two occasions by 10k,i do not mind working 100 hours a week but i can not do those hours and borrow to keep the pub afloat,its not a job but a way of life,we do not take a wage,but we don`t go hungry and have holidays so i am gratefull for that,but the bank of mum and dad has gone so we have to be bang on the gass or we will sink quicker than the titanic,we borrowed in the winter and paid back in the summer when football/darts/aunt sally and regulars used the pub,that option has now gone no quick loan of 5k here and there,so we do the next 16 weeks and see what happens,thank you all for your support,be nice for oufc to take the pub on,i would leave the inventory for them ,and help the, in any way with the pub,just the stress and daily running grinds me down,a 4 day week sounds good,and i would still put in 50 hours !!!!

let's hope Firoka see sense. it's a hard pub to run and I don't think anyone else could keep it afloat like Tim does.
If they don't we need to find a new match day pub.
