Aston Tavern

[Percy McCarthy]

I'll stick to The Adventurers thanks, £1 in and a decent pint for £3.

I think that is due to go too. The Swan and Mitre is also up for sale.

Bloody hell. This industrial estate better be successful to justify such vandalism. The Swan and Mitre is a lovely building.

At this rate there'll only be a handful of pubs left around the ground

Wasn't there some talk of re-opening the Rat-Pan?

If I had the money id buy the Brittania and restore that to it's former glory. Another lovely old building.

I paid £12 for me and my kids to get in to the Holte suite today....we then paid £8.99 for a very average full english breakfast and then paid well over the odds for drinks for a couple of hours.......I would welcome a more value for money match day experience but it seems that as football fans (especially in the PL) we should expect to pay premium prices for average products

I went in the holte suite before the game too - as I wanted to watch the start of the cricket .

£4 entry for me - which gets a programme is decent value - but I think charging £2 for kids to go in is pretty poor .

Last week I went to power league before the game at stoke - and they didn't charge a penny to get in.

I can see Hip Flasks becoming vogue again .

Which would be empty 345 days of the year.

No mate. During the weekdays it would cater to the locals and workers , of an evening something a little more sophisticated for the international traveller.

Had a chat this evening with someone who was in the Holte Suite on Saturday and he had a bacon, egg and tomato bap for £3.50 and he said it was cack. He reckoned the bap itself was so bad it was probably left over from last season.

Never been out of vogue on our row! It's a hooch den

[Weedy]

This thread reminded me to look up the proper location of the Sacred Heart club-I assume the lads who asked me on Saturday weren't going to the church.
Luckily for them, I had it nearly right.

However, I panned out on Google maps, satellite view, to see the ground and the pitch looks er...greyer than it did on Saturday

The Holte Suite should be free to all Season Ticket Holders in my opinion with the option to buy the programme on the door. £2 for a child is terrible, Would like to try the Tavern but really cant jusitfy £3 entry per person and £3.90 a peroni, doesnt matter how nice it is inside.

For those sort of prices, you'd be better off staying in the Briar Rose (or a City Centre pub) till about half 2 and jumping a Taxi to the ground.

[Shrek]

I think it's a rip off charging £3 in and then £4 a pint.

They do a season card for £30 which works out roughly half the price.

They also do a parking membership for £75 a season, which is better value, as it's less than £4 for parking and entry to the pub.

I just think it's wrong to charge entry if the beer is expensive as well.

Used to go in the harriers with Chico Hamilton before and sometimes after matches a few years back. That was a good football ground pub, good mix of home and away fans, cheapish beer, tolerant owners and only 10 mins walk to VP.

I also used to use the Harriers ...great little boozer, as you say a good mix of home and away fans, when that shut moved to the Swan & Mitre.

Agree. Season ticket holders in free and non STs a pound (if they had to charge but I still don't agree with it in principle) would be my suggestion. As it is I will continue to drink in town before and have a couple in the Holte after the game when it's free in.
