Anyone know what's happened to the Aston hotel ? Don't normally frequent that side of the ground but noticed it empty and derelict .
Is it due for demo ?

Sold at auction last year. Gonna be a womens refuge.
I bet the beer will still be better than it was in the last year of the hotel.  I've never tasted beer as bad as the piss they served up.

Is it just me or is it strange to have a women's refuge next to a football ground with tens of thousands of blokes, some tanked up and aggressive turning up once a week or so for most of the year?

It's just you, I hope.

I was thinking that it was not an ideal enviroment for women who you would imagine are quite nervous and insecure at this point in their lives. Mostly involving issues with men.

It's a couple of hours a couple of dozen times a week in a safe environment.

Has The Adventurers gone as well? Ballses up my matchday routine if it has. I don't like the sound of £3 entry to the Tavern, what're the prices like? Down for the Liverpool game with mates and unsure where to go if Adventurers is gone.

Bartons or Sacred Heart are my choices on the odd occasion I drink before a game. Bartons is nicer but a bit of a walk.

The Sacred Heart is going down that horrible road the Aston Hotel went down by playing mind numbing loud music after the match when all people want is a few drinks and a chat about the game. Don't understand why they do this.
