Winslow going

[CannockPricey]

24th Jan is the proposed closure date with the place redeveloped for housing although exact dates might alter.

Not a surprise to anyone but still feels significant. So many memories from there and it's where me and my sister absolutely crammed in, watched the Soton game in May.

Managed to take the littlest one in for a sit down pint prior to the women's game v Forest so photos of her in there already done.

Time moves on I know but I can't imagine a time where BMD or any boozer that springs up near there ever meaning half as much to people of my generation (44) as Goodison and the Winslow.

So sad really

That's really sad, I'll miss one last visit as well as my next game will be the Leeds game on the 26th

[Cozzie]

It does feel odd that I'll never be doing that walk for a good while and how it's gonna effect that whole area really.

Place might be unrecognisable in 5-10 years time as lots of those pubs and bars will shut down.

[Gash]

Not a surprise really, there will be a lot more that have relied on matchday income and little else that will now struggle. I was quite surprised that it didn't seem to open other than matchdays though, we did the Goodison tour last year and thought we'd pop on for a drink after it but it was shut. It's just too much income lost to try and replace with anything else.

The boozers around there will all perish, ss with the chippies and corner shops who relied on the match trade. Goodison won't be there long either, once the emotions fade. I still miss the Blue House , but different times now. Sad to see the history replaced, but we have golden memories
