Sorry, refresh my memory why it's being demolished?

Was horrible to see the old girl in such a bad way. Beer was rank, atmosphere was muted and as mentioned, all the memorabilia had been stripped. A sad, sad end to a once matchday staple.

Once one of only a handful of pubs/private clubs to serve hand pulled Tetley Bitter, an oasis in an ocean of electric crap beer, memberships (and you only got in as a member) were in high demand and much prized.

The refusal to put the electric pumps in was at the insistence of the members and was one occasion when the corporates couldn't control the retail outlet.

One Boxing Day, I won £80 quid on the bandit. I only put £2 in. Happy times.

I would assume that this has been granted by Leeds City Council as part of the South Stand redevelopment. And that this could be completed before the RLWC2013?

I will miss this place without a doubt as it was always my meeting point prior to any home game in my younger/non driving days, you always got a wink from the totty behind the bar and the landlord looked like a handy so and so there too





I would hope that any future SS redelopment work would be based on our preffered initial planning submission as IMO we may as well stick with what we have at present rather than building something newer that replicates what we already have but at what cost?
