For years now, many fans (both Stute’s and the supporters of visiting teams) have been calling out for a social club at the Riverside Stadium. Through no fault of the members of the Institute committee, who have been among the most vociferous of the pro-social club group, that hasn’t been possible. Until now! On Saturday, at 12:30, the Friends of Institute Social will open its doors for the very first time. Situated above the Travellers Inn (formerly the Three Mile House) on the Drumahoe Road, it boasts a pool table, poker machines and a 42 inch plasma screen television. Ideally located just a 5 minute walk from the Riverside Stadium, it is the perfect place to meet up before the game and, for the visiting supporter, will undoubtedly be a welcome site after a long bus journey over the Glenshane Pass.It will also be the venue for future Official Supporters’ Club meetings. So please pop along and throw your backing behind this important venture in support of Institute.
