Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 22, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 ... Gary Johnson.A big thanks to Rob and Sarah for the invite to the opening night, whilst I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to pubs and I did wonder if another Bemmy/Ashton boozer was going to be plasticised. I was pleased with the look of the place, clean, modern and much brighter than the Rising Sun ever was.For match days, there are plenty of screens, no need to miss the games on before and after ours, no real ale or cider tonight, but apparently its coming. So with the champagne reception, free raffle, drinks vouchers, food and music, Rob & Sarah put on a good evening. There is still some work to be done, but they'll be open Wednesday for the Southampton game, its well worth a look, adjacent to the stage look out for some City photo's - Atyeo, Gow, Taylor and the City badge all tastefully done.
