Thirsty?

Marquee

This season the Village beer marquee is over 50% bigger, with indoor and outdoor seating areas and a queueing system to ensure service is as slick as possible. Situated in the Village behind the Burrda South Stand, it is close to all the children's activities that operate every match day.

Heroes' Bar

The Heroes' Bar is a split level room at the south end of the Tetley's Stand and includes televisions to keep up with all the latest sporting action and hot food for sale. A perfect place for all the family to relax before and after the game!

Rodber Suite

The Rodber Suite, named after Saints' Hall of Famer Tim Rodber, is the largest of Franklin's Gardens' bars and sits in the middle of the Tetley's Stand. It boasts a long bar and plenty of televisions to keep up with the latest sporting action before and after the game. This can only be accessed from the pitch-side doors after supporters have been through the turnstiles.

To reduce queueing the Rodber Suite has special high-speed beer dispensers and card-only queues to ensure supporters are served as quickly as possible. There is also a pie and pasty stand for hungry supporters!

From summer 2013 Under-14s will be allowed in the Rodber Suite for the first time, meaning that all the family can mingle before and after the game, including with players after their post-match meals!

Members' Bar

The traditional Members' Bar only admits members and Season Ticket Holders. On the ground floor of the Sturtridge Pavilion, it contains the Saints' trophy cabinet and the international players' wall of fame.
