The bar was well-manned/womanned and efficiently run, with the staff all sporting cup final t-shirts specially made for the day (unfortunately not available for general purchase). I resorted to drinking Guinness in the absence of a drinkable ale/bitter, which was a bit disappointing.

As for support - the ealing crowd in our corner, whilst obviously outnumbered, gave it their all in shouting for their team and clearly had a passion for the club.

All in all a nice little set up but I was left wondering why they would want to give it up for a crack in the premiership.  They would surely have to move and attract a totally new set of supporters - where from is the question...

Thanks Rob C - I would only add a few points:
1. The shirts were on general sale at the club store kiosk (set up between the shipping container bar and the clubhouse). If you really wanted one, you might still be able to get one by mailing the club. There were some left when I walked by around 65 minutes.

2. I feel that in terms of attracting supporters, the requisite numbers can be attracted with the right match ups available. I've seen 4k there for a match against London Irish.

That's the last time I believe what a barmaid tells me...
