I would rather spend my cash in a real pub or local shop than fund the extortion that takes place every matchday. And not entertain the dross lager served in a plastic at a rip-off price.

As for helping with the design i suspect that the late lamented BP and ACN saw their involvement as a final act of helping with matchday experience and atmosphere hence my reference to there being more life in a tramps vest and atmosphere in a morgue. The joke is that Delia complete with a plastic glass in her hand was happy to have a photo with a 20%er thinking he was an adoring disciple. Look forward to the L&C providing a return on the money spent in about at least 10 years time. Restricted access to punters before the game and closing by 8pm together will being shut on non match days won't help. Another 20%-er who is scared to talk to an 80 year old lady about how he really feels, so think's he's "getting one over her" by having a photo "pretending" to be nice. I just started shivering with second-hand cringe. What a man that guy must be. Anyway, Lion and Castle was great for those who couldn't go Ipswich away. I'm a Lower Barclay ST holder and we don't spend a great deal of time there but it's good to be able to head down a bit earlier than usual and grab an extra drink or two (helps they do spirits etc too). It's always pretty busy pre-match so hopefully it's generating money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a big beer drinker, tend to be a Whisky / Rum fan. Fully aware of all the city pubs, where we often start our afternoon but the Lion & Castle is a great upgrade on what we had before and it get's us in a bit earlier for an extra drink or two, which i'm guessing means it's doing it's job!

Nice cosy armchair, centrally heated room, pause button if you need a wee, commentary to tell you what’s happening, home-made tea and scones at half-time, and of course the cou de gra of VAR. Why would you want to criticise us legacy supporters who sit in the cold and wet with only our thermals and some extra strong mints to keep us warm. Takes 10 mins to have a wee, no pause button, just the sound of folk waking up if we miss a goal. No commentary except from the woman behind pontificating about whether to wash her curtains on Monday. But thankfully, for this season at least, no VAR.
