A look inside The Lounge at Larges Lane, Bracknell Town’s new bar to open

It’s another home game for Bracknell Town on Saturday when they welcome Ardley United to Larges Lane in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division, but this one is just a little bit different.

If the excitement of a title challenge at ‘the Lane’ wasn’t enough, the clubs bar – now named ‘The Lounge’ – will open to the public for the first time while the roof on the main stand will be used for a first team game for the first time.

A lot of work has gone on in what was the ‘function room’ and it’s worth seeing if you can spot some of the refurbished items that will be in use.

The bar will be open on Saturday from 12pm and the club will be showing Manchester United vs Bournemouth at 12.30, and Liverpool vs Arsenal at 5.30pm.
