LFC WELLINGTON: SEASON 2014/15
After meeting with our supporters club venue owner plans have now been put into place for this coming season. Below is an overview of what you can expect for the start of the season:
- The decision has been made that going forward LFC Wellington will now be based at Four Kings for ALL games. Whilst it may not be a popular decision for some, one of the biggest challenges last season for The Pub was sourcing staff to open outside of normal hours (most games). By moving to Four Kings this problem is removed. Being a dedicated sports bar the sound quality will be greater and the issue of not having a big screen will be alleviated.
- A concern I shared with a lot of you was not wanting to lose the atmosphere that being in a smaller venue provided. As a result I managed to secure a dedicated LFC Wellington 'fan zone'. This will be exclusive to LFC fans, and will mean that we can watch games on the projector and on the lazy boy lounge TVs. The reserved area size is small enough to keep the atmosphere we had at The Pub, yet provides us with the flexibility to increase our supporter group for the bigger games.
- From the start of the season we will still be given drinks specials during games. However, a short while into the season (I will provide plenty of notice) Four Kings will provide LFC Wellington supporters with a loyalty card which you will then need to show in order to receive a beverage discount. This card will be valid at all times at all venues that come under the HOFF Hopsitality Group banner (The Pub, Four Kings/Five Stage, Electric Avenue and Dakota).
- Four Kings will apply for special licenses to show some of the big games that fall outside of licensing hours (such as on the 14/12 and 21/12 when we play Utd and Arsenal at 4am). Obviously no guarantees can be given that they will be approved but we will be able to put a compelling case together. More info will be given closer to the time for these games, but one thing to be aware of is that we will need to provide a list of attendees for these occasions.
I appreciate it's a lot of information to take on board, this should be the last long post for a while.
Information for the first game of the season will be posted next week.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
