Comment | Where Have All The Traditional Southampton Pubs Gone
at 18:27:30
It's not just Southampton. I know that there are quite a few boozers on the County Road in Liverpool, but a ton of pubs have shut down. Ten years ago, I could go out on a pub crawl involving six or seven bars, all within 1000 metres of my house.
Today, they're all gone. Some of the buildings remain. Some were just bulldozed, including a very nice Victorian pub.
It's a cliche to say that the smoking ban was a major factor in pubs disappearing, but that doesn't stop it from being true. Greedy breweries pushing their tenants to financial oblivion didn't help either. Finally, very much a luxury - a pint costs £3. You can get almost three times that from the offy. |

Comment | Billy Sharp ! Could He Be The Surprise Package Of The Premier
at 13:10:10
Sharp's pre-season form has been mightily impressive. Really looking forward to seeing all of our strike force in the Prem. With the players we've got jostling for position, they're all going to be hungry to be top dog. Really looking forward to Chun Lee getting back into contention too.
