Virtual clubhouse now open

[Communications Team]

We realise you are probably missing the opportunity to pop into the clubhouse on match days (we know we are) so we have created a virtual clubhouse.



If you visit the clubhouse you can by all sorts of drinks at great prices! The only slight downside is we can’t pour you a pint over the internet.



To be honest we hope this is a fun way you can help the club out by contributing some of the beer money you would have spent at the bar.



Why not pop in and buy your mates a round today?

Think the ointment has cured that

walked straight back out............no real ale cask. I'll stick to The Hop and Scotch B14 for now.
Hang on, they're closed so, for now I'll make it two Guinness's'sesses please! May have some chips later as long as they are hot! Ta!

Crickey! Belhaven just on so I'll have a pint of that as well please.

A Scottish pint. A sweet malty beer with lots of toffee and caramel notes from the pale and crystal malts. Fresh dry hop taste comes from the challenger and goldings which also gives a satisfying easy drinking bitter finish, so I hear from my taste note friends.

Can you get a few barrels of Butty Bach in for my next visit please - well worth £2!!

Morning all - I think this has great potential.
Is there any way you can display who has bought what?

I intend to buy a round for the 4 people I usually am in a round with on match day. I'd like to send them a link showing I've bought them a round - and tell them it's their round next. Do you think this might work by (potentially) doubling/tripling if people join in?

Thinking about it - you could potentially widen this by buying a pint for anyone who you think might reciprocate - send confirmation you've bought it and see if they buy you one back? 

If you do think this might work and can be done...…….we probably need some words on the link explaining the fundraising element?

I agree with the bit in bold - that might work quite well.

I'm more uneasy with the next bit - feels a bit too much like a chain message/guilt angle. I've been quite lucky in that I've not been furloughed (yet), but money's tight for a lot of people. Being able to tell people you know that you've got a round in works, but going wider doesn't sit right with me. 

Anyway, horses for courses I'm sure.

Thanks for the input observer, it's much appreciated and a good idea but as southernmose says, we are very conscious of the current situation and we don't want to put any pressure on supporters to donate.

We've had a fantastic response to the gofundme and the auction, this is just a bit of fun for anyone who just wants to chuck a £1 or 2 in the pot.

In the rain (real) on Thursday afternoon I thought how pleasant to go to the virtual bar at the virtual Club House. I also thought how nice to travel by bus (no virtual drinking and virtual driving for me). So I caught the virtual No 1 to virtual Acocks Green. I slipped into the virtual Inn on the Green for a virtual pint at this virtual real ale award winning pub. Unfortunately, as I came out onto the virtual Green to catch the No 11 (virtual of course) to The virtual Billesley Pub bus stop, I accidently caught the virtual No 11 on the virtual anti-clockwise route! So in this virtual world I took a virtual tour of the virtual pubs on the virtual route.

I stopped off firstly at The Great Western before moving on to the Yardley William Tyler (sorry, for using Wetherspoons in this virtual world) and The Clumsy Swan. Jumping back on the next virtual No 11 bus to come along and making steady progress I next alighted at Stechford's Northern Star. I wanted to go into the virtual Bromford but this had long, in reality, been closed. Moving on to the Fox and Goose was next before reaching virtual Erdington and the Church Tavern. Then to Witton Witton Arms. Into Perry Barr for a quick slither at The Arthur Roberetson (sorry Mr Martin's Group again!) and the 7th Trap (just for the novelty of the name and being next to the greyhound racing stadium). On the No 11 again to The Black Eagle, Hockley - bit of a traipse but well worth it. Bearwood beckoned to enjoy some good beer at The Midland, quickly, before the next No 11, to The Old House at Home. The next 11 slud gracefully into Harborne and The Plough. Walked up the road on reaching Selly Oak for a quickie at The Bear and Staff and moving on round to Stirchley couldn't resist walk to the British Oak. . Next Kings Heath Red Lion, Fletchers and Hop and Scotch for a few interesting real cask ales. Hang on the Billesley pub is in sight now. Off the no 11 we hop round onto Yardley Wood Road, into virtual homely BMRC only to find the virtual bar closed at 10:30 pm. So, I decided to take the 10 minute walk home. Nice virtual evening out. Good thing is I've got £8.00 of virtual beer chalked up to enjoy Friday at BMRC Club House. Maybe see you there sometime,
[editors note: I have provoked some friends to buy a round too} Hicc!!

[Communications Team]

Although no reason not to buy a round and email your mates to tell them so they could join in if they wish (and of course appreciate your generosity).

Beers for the mates at BM after the game!

As a winner on the timely Club Draw just spent £10 in the bar without cask !!

Best Wishes to departing players and staff and welcome to new arrivals - without having a clue about either direction moves!!
