Pubs for Wheels (23 replies)

As attendances are likely to increase significantly, then more pubs will be needed around the ground. I appreciate that they’ll do fan parks etc. but plenty will still want to go to a pub for a pint and a cob before and after the game. Just thinking of pubs which are currently closed, which will be near the ground.

From my knowledge of vacant pubs still standing, you have:

The Station Hotel - this is near enough perfectly situated. Over the road from Adderley Park Station and likely to be 100 yards to the entrance to Wheels.

The Tipsy Gent - on Cherrywood Rod, probably 3-4 minutes walk to the entrance to the site. Looks worse for wear on Google Maps though.

Adderley Park - en route from Duddeston Station to Wheels, the obvious stop off for many. Not massive though.

The Garrison - all sorts of rumours flew round in the Summer about there. There was definitely a small amount of work going on there at the start of the season to make the outside look a bit better.

The Sportsman is also perfectly situated, however is now a ‘religious’ organisation looking on Maps.

Any others which could be brought back to life which would be in walking distance that I have missed?
