| Yates in Southampton City Centre to close its doors for good 07:00 - Sep 3 with 3768 views | PatfromPoole | As per today’s Southampton Echo. Financial reasons cited. Sad times for hospitality. Wonder what the new main away pub will now be? How do they determine this? Is it basically up to the Dibble? Can a pub refuse this if they so wish? |  |

| Yates in Southampton City Centre to close its doors for good on 15:51 - Sep 3 with 3324 views | TimSaint | There were quite a few Millwall in the Scholars Arms last Saturday. Perhaps the current trend is for away fans to use pubs other than Yates? Sad for Yates, but they have closed / sold quite a few of late. |  |

Yates Wine Lodges in the North West were fine spit and sawdust drinking establishments, before they started to jazz them up and open all over the country to attract the younger binge drinking crowd |  |

Haven’t been in Yates for a few years, but last time I went there was a real dump |  | |  |

It has been a dump for years only surviving on being the away pub and Sat & Fri nights |  |

Yep, proper Saints pub. What is happening to this country? Pubs closing down, even when they must have hundreds or thousands of fans buying drinks.on a match day. Successive governments have ruined this country with business rates and energy costs. When the people of this country can't go to the pub anymore, it will be very bad. Very sad.

Has it also got to do with a change in the drinking culture of the UK? When I was in my younger days, Friday was always straight to the pub after work and where I’d meet my mates, no texts no calls, I knew they’d be there. Young people now don’t have to meet their mates down the pub to be connected, there’s a whole range of ways to connect. They also aren’t as interested in drinking as we were back in the day. They are all about keeping fit, both physically and mentally, certainly far more than I was back in the day. |  | |  |

That’s gutting Always stop in there on the way back to Central and sometimes start in there. Home games won’t be the same. Was bad enough losing Belgium and Blues this season. [Post edited 4 Sep 13:24]

That's a church. No drinking allowed there. It's a religious santuary. |  |

Handy if you come by train, bit of a trek to the ground though and right through the main Saints drinking areas in above bar |  |

I’ve heard you can only drink there if you’re very young and you have to be careful not to let it slide on by |  | |  |

Ridiculous venue for away fans. What about the Slug and Lettuce or Que Pasa, do they not exist? Shit pubs, therefore perfect for away fans. |  |

I decided to pop into the Kingsland, what a dump, it’s always been a dump but now it’s a different level dump, I ordered a beer had 2 sips snd left the rest, it was un drinkable, every time I think about that pint my stomach turns. |  |
