Winslow Hotel - RIP

[evertonandchelmsford]

The owner that runs it now has done a very good job bringing the pub back to life. I do recall that it was closed for a season or two can't remember exactly when but maybe around 2010-2015?

Thing is even if the womens team was a success and they were getting big crowds once a fortnight I still can't imagine that would bring enough footfall into the pub as peoples matchday traits for the womens game are probably a bit more sensible and easier on the liver.

Used to dive in and when I got to the bar would always order two pints.

Also I had an Uncle who lived just half way down Eton Street.

Women’s team will gone by the end of next season. It was a token gesture while they sort the real plans for the land.

I went into that Ten Streets Social before the Forest game, never been there before. Good atmosphere, 2 massive screens. loads of bar staff so really quick to get served, I went in the front bit and was served within 5 mins, went and stood at the back bit with the benches and was once again served really fast at one of those kiosks they have set up. Only a fiver for a pint of Guinness as well.

Said this elsewhere but..

It's a shame, but it was always going to be one of the first to call it a day. It only opened match days & for functions, plus being a pure blue pub would never have had too many regulars even if it had regular hours.

The area around the ground still has a high number of pubs compared to most other areas of the city, the better run pubs will survive, but tbh too many of them coasted along solely on the match day revenue & never reinvested back into the pub. It's a tough game but a few of the pubs didnt help themselves, keeping the decor the same for decades, not trying to attract more varied customers or try different revenue streams. The more unfortunate inevitable closures to come should help out the other pubs in the area though.

Kind of wish Everton decided to fully redevelop the Goodison site as that would have been a real chance for complete regeneration of the area.

Last time I was in there, Super Kev was in there happily talking to fans and getting on pics.
