We needed to come up with a solution which satisfies the safety requirements of being an EFL club but also supports our fans in being able to enjoy the facilities our ground has to offer. Danny is a very passionate Latics fan and his company has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years in supplying equipment in the hospitality industry throughout the region.

It’s a perfect fit because our business is to supply equipment to all types of bars and it’s great to be associated with a part of Boundary Park which has really become a hub for supporters on a matchday. The DK Services Fan Bar is already massively popular on a matchday. We’ve got some exciting plans for the bar moving forward and we’re delighted that Danny and his company will be a big part of this.”Refurbishments within the past 12 months include the addition a new bar and plans are also in place to increase its capacity.

During our discussions there has been a great understanding that Holker Street is a fairly unique ground, which is why we’re one of very few EFL clubs that is moving its perimeter during a matchday to support fans.” Bluebirds Trust Director Steve Herbert, who will be available in the Fan Zone area to explain the changes on Saturday as part of our SLO Team said:

We’ve got some exciting plans for the bar moving forward and we’re delighted that Danny and his company will be a big part of this.” The name of DK Services will now feature in the new title of the Fan Bar, as well as appearing around the area.
