Due to an ordering cock-up we are left with no Fosters until Wednesday. It's always disappointing when we are unable to supply our biggest selling product to our customers, please accept my apologies. I'm told the problem is down to Enterprise, draw your own conclusions though.
With a sense of disappointment I have to let you know that we no longer show sport broadcast on BT Sports. Our owner has decided he no longer wants to pay for it in the run-up to closure. Make the most of Sky Sports for now, it's undoubtedly on the hit-list for the near future.
