myol'man Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 As the Ask Steve/ Colin page has closed for the summer i'll have to ask this on the open forum.The Wedlocks pub opposite Ashton Gate has closed down since the end of the season, with all of the doors and windows boarded up. I would guess that this means the lease is available for a new tenant to buy.As this has always been a popular pre-match meeting place for many Cityfans, would the club consider taking it over?For a fairly small outlay and with a City friendly landlord (maybe an ex-player)the club could have somewhere for fans to meet not only on matchdays,but at any time.

Dollymarie Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I think its a brilliant idea. Would be a bit of a silly idea not to be run by a fan considering its position. Wonder if the supporters club could take it on?Dollymarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex1089 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 If someone wishing to invest money into a pub or any type of buisness then maybe someone in the supporters trust should set up some kind of meeting. If we could find a invester and get it ran by the supporters club with the supporters club getting a cut of the profit. Could be a successful buisness I think! Who agrees?

BS3_RED Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I would be great if City owned and ran it. They then could play old games on the TV all week and on match days. How good would that be.The only problem i see, is that you probably wouldnt be able to get Tommy out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad48 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 It sounds like a good idea, But !What you have to remember is that you only have a Guaranteed 26 matches a year and I don't think that this business or any other business could run on on 26 days takings per year, I am not sure how busy it is on a normal day but I would guess that with another three pubs pubs within five minutes walk of each other, not very busy so unless you could do something spectacular to encourage people from miles around to come to this pub then I would guess it was doomed to failure.You could I suppose have Wedlocks Lap Dancing Club !!! :, I think the old boy would turn in his grave.

MattyAli Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 If city did take it on they would be tied to innspired/punch, which I don't think city would be interested in. No money to be made for a start, unless they charge 3 quid a pint....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Steve Lansdown has already stated on his forum that BCFC would not be interested in taking it on.BCAGFCP.s. Speaking as an ex licencee unless you actually own the freehold (the pub building itself) forget it, rents are too high and beer is too expensive.

Guest Vodared Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 don't forget, it my be a dump, but furniture does not make a pub, the people that drank in there and the landlord were 2nd to none.This was proberbly one of the best match day pubs ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
