Regarding criticism of The Ruddy Duck, I am all too aware of the shortcomings that the pub faced in its previous guise. To put it bluntly, I wouldn't be here and we wouldn't now be The Bridge Inn were that not the case.
All I will say on the matter is this, the pub before was an entirely different business, aimed at different clientele and managed by a different team of people. Whilst I run the pub as a job, RL is and always has been my passion so getting things right on match days and working alongside the club is a huge part of the reason I am here. I have been to Belle Vue as a fan, albeit an away fan, dozens of times so I would like to think I appreciate the need of RL fans in general. If you still think it's e, fair enough!
- what can you get away with?
