Does anyone know when it's planned to re-open?  And when are the Eddies/Social/Ad's being flattened?

It says on there it has been shut for over twenty five years. But I'm sure I had a pint in there after getting back from Milan in 1990.

The Aston Tavern is looking a lot sprighlier each day, it's got it's windows in now, not sure about an opening date. While we're in the area of town planning does anyone know what the plans are for the space where the Leisure Centre was?

You did, I bought it for you in all probability, I usually did in those days. In fact it was open in '92 'cos I drank in there the night we queued for Cup QF tickets (Liverpool A, yellow kit, dumped out).

Last time that I can remember drinking in there was the day we played Coventry towards the end of the season when Don Howe was their manager and he encouraged them into The Holte End. A few came in, they didn't stay long.

At the Last home game last season two barmaids from the Eddie were handing out leaflets saying the Aston Tavern would be opening August 2014, Was then told in the Eddie they Would be open for the whole of this coming season

When I went to the Villa with my dad in the sixties, he would always go in the Aston Tavern for a few pints before the game, he would get me a glass of orange and a packet of crisps and I would wait in the hallway near the bar, from there I could see into the bar and would despair when he got another pint at 2 45, we missed so many kick offs, wish my Dad was still around.

I definitely had a pre match pint in the Aston Tavern before the 1-0 win over Man U in 1992.

I'm sure it was open as late as 95, I can remember walking in and it being packed full of Geordies, and I'd missed that game in 94.

If you got the round in let's hope when it reopens that they put the commemorative plaque back up.
