What was the name of that pub down Curzon Street way that was one of the first selling Sol in a bottle with a quarter of lime in the neck? They had a room with a dentist's chair and some lass with tequila and tonic water in holsters would pour it into your mouth and spin you right round baby right round like a record baby. Late Eighties, early Nineties?

Sounds amaze. Is this what Gazza was re-enacting prior to Euro'96? Sir Graham went to great lengths to make him join the Villa.

Some of the images of the new shop look good. Hard to gauge the size of it;

Yeah but it should have been done 5 years ago. Heck is useless.

Surely that is just a render and not real photographs?

I would not call it fantastic personally - but thats me

A club shop is all well and good, but it's not renders of a new stadium or new North Stand is it.

Any mention of sorting the basics, like being able to wash and dry your hands in the toilets, or it taking less than 20 mins to buy a beer?

Only if you pay extra for it.
