New pub at Deepdale?

PNE4LIFE said:
I'd much prefer North End getting on board and buying a decent player or two rather than your concept to be honest.

Don't know if you remember but we used to have a club/pub on the PNE site, -it closed down because of lack of business!

I thought it was because of too much "business"

Given the economic climate it would have to be something special to survive let alone be a going concern and it's already got established clubs on it's doorstep competing for business like Deepdale Labour club and St Gregorys! even the Sumners is not what it used to be these days unfortunately.

Having been brought up on Brookfield the Sumners and to an extent the Garrison was a local for me and yes the old Sumners was good but then it was a traditional Boddys house and the rebuild if anything just lost it that idendity i think? it's still a decent boozer but like most other pubs out of the Centre it's struggling for regular trade.

That club used to do very well once upon a time. You could see some great acts there. One time you struggled to get a seat or a ticket for some of the cabaret acts. EG The Baronknights. The Black Abbots (Russ Abbot) The Grumbleweeds, The Searchers & loads of others. The players used to come in for a pint or three, but it was run by old people with a Labour Club mentality. It refused to move with the times, so down it went like a submarine.

You wouldn't need a new club to be open 7days a week (Reduced running costs). Fridays, Saturday & midweek matchdays etc. A study would have to be done. It's just a shame that a club of our size & support doesn't have at least a drinks bar that has pleasant & comfortable surroundings for it's fans.

Great place to hold fans forums, player of the year events etc.
 
Wetherspoon's? You're lucky to get a cup of tea "with a spoon", at Deepdale.
