A huge amount of homes are being built in the area, so 2 or 3 years down the line it might be viable.

There’s lots of areas with lots of houses. Outside of town centres, the pub industry is virtually dead.
Anyone thinking about opening a new pub in a housing estate probably wants sectioning.

Will it be closing in time for people to get to the stadium and in for kick off or will we start with a half empty stadium and folk being disturbed as people find their seats? ;-) just enquiring.

Aha, I must have missed that post. Sorry.Read about 5 posts back from yours - last orders 2pm, event closes at 2:30. Giving everyone adequate time to get to their seats for KO
*Tongue in cheek time*. What if it’s a 2.00 ko or a 12.30 ko. Still 2.30 closing?
Daft half hour. Attending a funeral soon and need to keep a sense of humour. Sorry again.

Well the Arena is obviously new but the area has had the football stadium on its doorstep for 20 years now.
Off the top of my head I think there were about 8 or 9 pubs within a few minutes walk when it opened. Now there’s what, three?

As the arena has more and more events it might be viable ? Depends what else might be on the campus ? Anyway i do agree to open a pub in the current climate is a huge risk.Well the Arena is obviously new but the area has had the football stadium on its doorstep for 20 years now.

It's just a change in society slightly off topic but from just before WW1 right up to the 70s they were building pubs at an unsustainable rate (they did the same with churches) prior to that sure they existed but not in that number, they were working under the assumption that a certain percentage of the population would visit pubs on a regular basis also people forget that the lunchtime trade used to be massive when lots of people had a couple of pints in their lunch break, then society changed, drink driving laws, workplaces unsurprisingly not happy with having halfcut workers, an expansion of the off trade etcWell the Arena is obviously new but the area has had the football stadium on its doorstep for 20 years now.
