Are the Ducie Arms and the Old Abbey (in the science park) still going?
Used to go to the Ducie and leave the car there. Final pint after the game and then the traffic had gone.
They spent a while doing it up and it was closed so we decamped across the road to the Old Abbey until the Ducie reopened.

Told an Everton supporting pal of mine this will happen when they eventually move.

seems to think they’ll always stick around drinking there
