oldtawnyowl Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 So sad to see so many old pubs closing, but we seem to be quite lucky up in my area, Crookes. Don't think we have lost a pub up here since ""The Original Grindstone" was closed back in the 60's, although "The Mason's" has shut then reopened a few times recently. We also have a couple of micro pubs in addition to the 5 old established pubs and of course the "Crookes Club" is still thriving. Perhaps we have more pizz artists up here than most other areas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really go in that much before matches but spent many a Sunday dinner session in there with my late father in law. Was a cracking community pub back in the day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Used to go in The Foot before the match as we’ve always parked up that way No real idea where to go for a pint before the game now Sad times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde2005 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 the 23 home games a season id imagine the tills will be making them plenty but the other 342 days id imagine 95% of those days the pub would run at a loss .. something should be done to protect these pubs as a local community asset ,even if that involved certain groups during the week to be allowed to do small events in there , the rents,staff costs business rates ,soaring insurance costs and utility costs are making it totally impossible , the days of local pubs cafes are over , where i live loads of pubs have closed in past 8 years ,local cafes ,bakery, butchers ,shops etc have gone, all run by good people , but the costs are just impossible now . what amazes me is there are still 4 pubs , 3 look empty most of the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And despite what people think it's bloody hard work and daft hours, and if you do well and start to make money all your bills go up accordingly. During covid so many people built their own bars in their gardens. A lot of those won't return to pubs now. It's very sad but I think the British pubis on its last legs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I’m from Parson X originally and they are not untypical of the locals (not like me naturally……). Sad to see it go but not been in for years so I am partly to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
