Rising into good results tomorrow?

fasteddy...That looks like a staff issue that lack customer service know how which can be rectified...do you think other tables were pre booked?...if you are a shareholder I am sure a small note to the CEO would make him aware of the issues otherwise unknown!...

Has anyone been in any of the newly refurbed pubs yet? I have to say i found it quite discomforting to have to wait to be shown to a table to eat in what was prior to the refurb my local pub. In fact we ended up leaving after a few minutes as time was short and noone seemed to know where to seat us despite it being 4:30pm on a weekday afternoon and the place wasnt even half full.

lol! front line research is that what they call it these days. I will have to check out that site later cheers for the info.

Eric,

Did you know you can get a discount off food and accommodation as a shareholder?

"Eligible shareholders are entitled to a Marston's Inns and Taverns Privilege card which entitles the holder to a 20% discount on food and accommodation at participating Martson's inns and taverns."



20% is not too bad whilst you do some front line research.

pedigree ale - marstons I believe.

My meldrewish comments about the share price are tongue in cheek. Honestly I'm not getting increasingly frustrated.

I haven't got a huge amount of these but nevertheless they are a chosen part of my holdings and I do believe things could be bit different by approx april/may next year.

As long as the divi continues I will be happy and there's no indication otherwise.
With a stock like this it's best to buy collect the yield and wait, you know they'll have their day if they are undervalued. Obviously we'd all like to be sat on large capital gains whilst the daily gyrations and undulations take place but the market simply doesn't work like that. Dealing costs put you at a minus before anything else and then the stocj may only be down a couple of % or so and the position looks worse than it actually is.

I'm determined to just hold these and in effect forget about them, as I've said before 2 to 3 years divi and a decent rally which will happen and suddenly you're up 80%. It has happened to me many times before and luckily as I get older I get more patient and start to moan more.

good luck all.

I'm beginning to get a little concerned about the Pedigree of some posters on here.

I'll get my coat...

[diku] 22/9/2010 11:51

It could have been her & not him!...

Eric G

Suggest that you find the bar steward who forced you to buy MARS & sort him out.

[blobby] 22/9/2010 11:07

Eric,

Agreed, it's not going anywhere fast (up or down). But let's see what they have to say on 6th October and if all is going to plan I'm going to be happy to stick with it.

[eric gardener] 22/9/2010 05:59

This cr*p is a blight in my prtfolio, the ftse is ever soaring closer to 6000 and beyond and this ruddy heap is stuck like chewing gum on a pavement.

Marston's PLC announces that following the end of its financial year on 2nd October 2010, it will be issuing its Year End Trading Update on Wednesday 6th October 2010 and Preliminary Results on Thursday 2nd December 2010.

[evox] 13/9/2010 08:22

This place is heaving:

[eric gardener] 09/9/2010 20:22

Yes lets hope their pubs are busier than this thread. We're going to make money here - rather slowly but I'm pretty sure of it.

From my past experience the quieter the thread and the less general interest the better.

[blobby] 09/9/2010 15:50

Eric,

I thought I'd keep you company...

* Trading Update on Wednesday 6th October 2010 and
* Preliminary Results on Thursday 2nd December 2010
* ex Dividend: 16 Dec if the same as last year.

[eric gardener] 08/9/2010 22:14
