Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"You can't be that keen to know, as the information is out there, The All-Party parliamentary Save the Pub Group, CAMRA, etc., read up on the subject then you won't need to speculate.

I've been a CAMRA member for years and know plenty about closing pubs, I've also seen it happen in my surrounding area, the brutal truth is that they close because they're e and very few people frequent them.
Your quoted article is probably one of the worst you could have picked and just highlights my point. Regular punters? What, three primary school kids and a bulldog? A 'Watch England Here' poster in the background. Yeah, cos we all want to go to the pub to watch footy with a load of tracksuited loons don't we? The article also goes on to say “Following a review of this site we have identified that the long term potential of the business as a pub is limited. We have therefore taken the decision to close the pub.” Translated that means, ''We're a stuck-in-the-1970s dive run by people who don't know their from their elbow. We tried to get more people in by paying for a Sky subscription and it didn't work. Even swapping the Fosters for Carling and the Walkers for Seabrook has made no difference. We haven't got a clue how we can turn it around so might as well cash in with Tesco." |

| So Karen Gooding who said:
Quote '" :dkynex9b
... are all wrong or lying, and the pub wasn't viewed by the community, or the 200 who have already signed a petition, as a community asset then?
I wonder how you know this? “The Royal Stag holds a special place in my heart – it became my comfort zone since losing my husband in March 2010. It’s a really communal pub and it has the most caring staff you could ask for.
“The pub held all sorts of events for the Hospice of St Francis, local children’s charities and more. '"
Former landlady from 2010 to 2014 Jaqui LeBrun :

I wonder how you know this?“It’s a loss to the community in Highfield. We raised thousands for charity and lots of events for OAPs.'"
Elly, who worked at the pub for two years, said:

But it's a business and a failing one at that. Unfortunate as it is, there's no place for sentiment in a failing business. They need a community centre round their way, not a pub.
On another note, read some of the comments in the reply section from the locals.

''Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognise and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.''
Murdoch proving what we already knew.
He's a fooking idiot!

I wonder what responsibility he accepts for his media's sabre-rattling and support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the resultant deaths of innocent muslims? |

I suppose with 3 millions+ copies of Charlie Hebdo being printed, we can now blame them for deforestation and global warming

Possibly a bit too blunt, but probably what is needed by Muslim leaders in this country, a bit of straight talking

Like the Archbishop of Westminster and leading lay catholics were asked to do in Northern Ireland when the IRA were kicking off you mean? |
