Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: adje on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 20:42:15 Yeah-bollocks to 'em
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: 4D on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 20:45:31 Yeah-bollocks to 'em Last time I went in the CG Hotel I had an ID card to get in and there was a guy on the back door with a Doberman (or something else.) That was a few years ago mind. What's it like now? Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 20:51:53 Ive still got my card.
To be fair its a lot busier than it was back then. Even now, when its someone elses pub. But it is terrible what theyve done to it. Unfortunately I think Rich got influenced by one of the Chelsea lot. Shame. Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: 4D on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 20:57:00 Very rare for me to have a drink at all before a match now, usually drive up with the missus. When we do get the bus we normally pop into town for some grub and bevvies.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 21:25:04 I haven't been in there for a while either. It's lost a bit of character for me.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: michael on Thursday, April 30, 2009, 21:27:22 Went there before the game on Saturday and it was quite busy.
Garden was ramos. Geezer walking around behind the bar in a Chelsea shirt somewhat ruined the experience for me though so I shall not return until that kind of behaviour is knocked on the head. Or at least until the next home game :) Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Melksham Red on Friday, May 1, 2009, 07:11:20 That Chelsea stuff really fucking pisses me off. It's Swindon's pub ffs. It's that fucking Herman Munster guy and his fat family who are the Chelsea fans isn't it?
I tell you, Rich needs to sort that place out, it really has gone down hill. I waited 15 minutes for a pint Sat and it wasn't even that busy. They were all running around like headless chickens serving different areas of the bar, not having a clue who was next. Thick twats. Why do they not just allocate an area of the bar to each of the six bar staff who were serving? Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, May 1, 2009, 07:18:45 I don't go in there anymore, I don't like having to wait 10 minutes at the bar to get served.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Power to people on Friday, May 1, 2009, 07:34:42 I think I've only been in there once or twice and the place looked like a sh1t hole, but it is a bit of a joke though stfc fan's in there on a matchday and they wear Chelsea shirts, they should align themselves with stfc a bit more and they may get a bit of respect.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: suttonred on Friday, May 1, 2009, 08:59:54 Haven't been there for years, but have been thinking about it, but if there are prats wearing Chelsea shirts they can stuff it.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Spy on Friday, May 1, 2009, 09:26:25 I like the county ground hotel. But yeah just before a game it can take ages to get served.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: nochee on Friday, May 1, 2009, 12:48:14 They used to do great food. A lot of contractors that worked at the same firm i did when i was in Swindon loved the place.
Dinner was what you were served, not what you chose from a menu tho. Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: herthab on Friday, May 1, 2009, 12:49:45 I don't go in there anyway (Full of rough types) but to have some twat in a chelski shirt behind the bar on a matchday is a bit of a joke.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, May 1, 2009, 13:02:46 I don't go in there anyway (Full of rough types) Quite!! my dad went in there once to wait for me when I was working for ITV and a man starting shouting at him for buying a programme???? Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: 4D on Friday, May 1, 2009, 19:04:47 Quite!! my dad went in there once to wait for me when I was working for ITV and a man starting shouting at him for buying a programme???? Were you reporting for ITV from the CG? Did you know Roger Malone? Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: leefer on Friday, May 1, 2009, 19:16:57 I always go in there....have been for years...agree with DRS though about the Chelsea shit...though Rich has done alot of work and worked hard there.
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, May 1, 2009, 19:32:36 Anybody complained to the Chelski guys? E-mail Arkells Brewery and complain, tell them they are losing money hand over fist cos of the twat!
Title: Re: County ground hotel Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, May 1, 2009, 19:52:23 Are they a brewery or privately owned?
