Has anyone heard of it re-opening or anything it`s a crying shame that the only decent sized watering hole left around the ground has closed.

Someone said last night that they'd heard it was going to be turned into a carpet showroom. Not sure how true that is though.

I don't know if it would be cost effective BUT instead of an empty building be great if the Club/Trust could lease it?

Don't think it would be cost effective really, probably only gets busy once a fortnight for 9 months of the year?

It would make a lot more sense for the club to improve the facilities at the ground therefore encouraging more people to come in early, earn some money and not pay rent on somewhere.

There must be an opportunity for the club here to grab some extra income by being a bit more proactive in its marketing and upgrade what they already have on site?

Have you been in the club bars in the last 2 years? They are a million times better - the best they've ever been!

To be honest bax no I haven't as I only do away games nowadays so that's good to hear. Will be coming to the New Year's Eve game though so I will definitely be sampling the upgrades. It will be first home game since last time we played Lincoln on New Year's Day when their cheating keeper got LJL sent off.

Looking forward to it already!

The cost of the trust doing it up would be a big underlay out

It needs a total refirb money would be better spent by the club elsewhere especially as we are suppose to be reallocating at some point.

I have it on good authority that planning permission has just been submitted to convert the original building in to flats /luxury apartments.

Would've thought demand for housing will be going down up there now.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Always had potential, always been a shithole!
Could have been so much more if done right. I know the BP hotel is hardly the most modern of boozers, but what they do, they do it spot on.

The Trust can always do with more helpers. Why don't you offer your services?
