We are all Wednesday Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 I agree with all efforts to cut off funding but I don’t agree with boycotting the Wednesday Tap unless I am missing something. I have seen calls to not spend money in there and the Rainbow Owls moving their event but does this not punish a good local brewery who have invested in the club? That would be a real shame and unfair. I assume they will still have to pay a lease etc. If I am missing something then please do correct me. 4
Popular Post hasthagotanycheese Posted September 14, 2025 Popular Post Posted September 14, 2025 Not a pound in the ground means just that unfortunately. If you start saying not a pound in the ground but the Wednesday Tap is fine then people will get confused and also come up with other reasons to rationalise funding the despicable Thai. 1 17

Wayne Tavitt Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 What have the numbers been like on match days in the Tap and 1867 Lounge?
bigdan2003 Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 End of the day, if it’s “not a pound in the ground” then ultimately a supplier somewhere is going to be impacted through reduced orders, and some might be small local businesses. The people who do the programmes are a relative small firm in Oxfordshire I think, so should we be worried about them? It’s an unfortunate impact of the necessary protest. 1 1 7 Bye Dejphon
Salli Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 I wouldn't call Thornbridge a small business 1 6

We also need to put people off investing in this way and starve him of income. 6
lukeyswfc Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 It will put pressure on him when he starts to lose business across the board as they won’t want to renew contracts with him. 1 3
Popular Post sheffield_dave Posted September 14, 2025 Popular Post Posted September 14, 2025 This is actually one of the easier problems to solve. You can still adhere to not a pound in the ground, cut any business to The Wednesday Tap, and there are lots of alternative avenues for you to still support the brewery if you want to. The Wednesday Tap isn’t their only outlet. 4 1 7

lambownumber5 Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 The fellas/s who founded Thornbridge are Wednesday fans aren't they? If so I'm sure the business is sufficiently well established and profitable that they'd be happy to write off a season's takings in the Tap if it meant displacing the Thai Tuna pleb! 3

Kopparberg Posted September 14, 2025 Posted September 14, 2025 They had tweeted about this situation if anyone can find it. It’s not nice for anyone. Sadly there’s one person to blame. 1
