...Buggered if I know. What I do know, however, is that The Rocket is back and better than ever. We took advantage of the home break to meet with the venue management and discussed feedback and ideas from you lot.
The most important thing a pub can provide to football fans is quick service at the bar. With that in mind, we will have the second bar open upstairs for EVERY game we're open this season! So that's half the queues and twice the service. As if that wasn't enough, we soon hope to introduce four pint pitchers which will mean less visits to the bar. The pitchers will work out cheaper than four separate pints too. The upstairs bar will be used as a chill out area and eventually we'll have a big screen with old Arsenal games being shown.
This is all in addition to the good stuff going on anyway. The pool tables at the back, the beer garden outside and the side bar…erm…at the side. Plus the big screen, the marches and everything else we spoil you with. You lucky people.
Two more things finally. Now we're reaching crunch time and the last few games we've had, it's fair to say the lads need the fans behind them now more than ever. Of all the measures of how good certain fans are across the Premier League (attendance, behaviour etc.), the most critical one right now is vocal support. We need to snap the lads out of their spiral by roaring them on! Remember how young they are and what the energy from us can do for them on the pitch. Couple this with bringing as much red and white into the ground as possible and we can make the difference. The Arsenal fans can help this fresh vibrant team of ours so let's do just that from the Villa game onwards. Secondly, we're putting together a banner for Eduardo which will go behind the north goal from the Boro game onwards so look out for that.
Victory Through Harmony.
