With the money spent it must be a national pub co?The pub has been refurbished at the tax payers expense. Ie you paid towards it as did I and the bloke next door. How is that the case?Hang on , wasn't the Eddy's CPO, and a relocation deal arrived at. I can cut and paste stuff from the web too.

How does someone having their premises bought under a CPO equate to their new business venture being "paid for by tax payers"?Especially tax payers in a different local authority area.

He got lucky with the road moves and CPO to move . I have no issue with this but charging punters to get in now ? Piss take
Quote from: frankmosswasmyuncle on July 27, 2014, 10:23:00 PMSorted my pub for Chesterfield - The Derby Tup - 5 minutes' walk from the ground on the Sheffield Road, welcome to away supporters at the north end of the ground, and a range of good beers. Anybody know it?It's crap. You might like it but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Stand away. Avoid. Tell all your friends not to go there.

Piss takeI've said above my opinions on charging customers to get into a pub - I've never paid and never will - but that doesn't alter the fact that the owner is using their own money to finance the business.

Paying two pound to get into a pub will create more of a family atmosphere??Hasn't ever worked for all the other pubs near the ground.I reckon, if you want a proper pub with decent beer, where you will get it served in a glass rather than a plastic pot, and it won't be full of the, err, not wishing to be disparaging and all that, fucking idiots that follow us (okay I was disparaging), then you save your two quid each and use it for a taxi fare from a much better pub a bit further away.
See you in there, then.
