After the game

1. Does your club put on any hospitality after the game for the opposition and the ref?
2. Whose hospitality has your club enjoyed the best?

I had a pub lined up with food yet are lads werent interested.

And we havent been offered any hospitality as of yet.

Down the Bees Knees all away sides are always welcome, not many come back though. We dont get any free food but its BOGOF so its Cheap, like the budgie

Not interested or can't be bothered to take their ID out on a Sunday morning?

Or there wallet

we offer all sides to come back to the good neighbours for a pint after our away games. a few have taken us up on the offer but think the majority just go back to there local for a booze.

At Fosse we always offer the opposition the chance to sample the hugely overpriced ale at the beautiful Vikings Tun. On the grub side, chances are there will be some sausage, chips and sarnies available. However if we time it right, there's the possibility of a free carvery (which is damn good).

Magna Town and MDH Knights are the only teams to join us in the pub so far (i think). We visited The Horse & Trumpet after todays game with Sporting, Top nosh, just a shame about the company.

EFC always put some grub on at The Cedars in Evington. Always quality. Again, appreciated today

Bar is usually open - and Scouse does us proud with the hot dogs!!!

It'd be nice if the teams who enjoyed the hospitality actually bought a beer though!!!

Had one team this year (I won't name and shame they'll know who they are!!) who ate all the hot dogs and not a single member bought a drink

I think you did name and shame them at the time though!!

yeah remember that one last year. and as our pitch was out of use for the 2nd game we let them beat us and feed us at there ground again. all very nice they gave us hot dogs and we gave them 6 points

All welcome to come back to the Owl after the game, Vjay always sorts out some food although you might have to wait........ he's not the quickest but his stews are top draw!!!

Not able to offer food to opposition but do try to take up an invite to the local pub when we play away- with or without food. Desford put on some food yesterday and actually asked how many were going so all 14 that went were fed. Fosse, Sporting and EFC hasve been good to us too. Shame we can't return the hospitality!

Surely you could sort something out if you really wanted to!

At webbys we always invite the away side back to the horse and trumpet.
Always ask the away side midweek prior to the game so we can be fair to paul and
lorraine.
Normally about 50/50 on the away sides.

A few of our lot go to the Bulls head in Countesthorpe. There is food on offer but not to the away sides so we dont invite them.

We always used to have food at the pub after. The problem we found was that we couldn't guarentee the opposition would join us. Probably because we are quite a way away. The landlord was reluctant to stump up for grub if nobody showed. Now we do it game by game. I will ask the opposition manager in the week and if he says yes then the food is there. No offers on our travels so far this year.

I did look at it, but found getting grants and sponsorship easier to be honest! (Any before anyone asks, that money isn't going toward food at the pub!) It's sometimes hard getting our squad to go to the pub each week, never mind the opposition too

Thats because you are all borrrinnnggg zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Our lads from both our sides go to our sponsors The Foresters Arms for a beer and usually a plate of sausage rolls on the bar.


Best hospitality over last few seasons has come from Gutho Old boys and Kirby Muxloe Rangers
