Unfortunately we can't. The law is changing and it means nowhere will be allowed to sell off-licence after 10pm. Up until 10pm Tesco is open and is cheaper so no-one uses Off-Sales.

But I support turning it into somewhere that does toasties, chips and cheese etc. for consumption off the premises at the end of the night. Think about how much money Empire makes! The union should be trying to cash in on that. And I say off the premises because I've seen the mess that drunk people leave behind them when they eat and I don't fancy cleaning it up! There's no helpful seagulls in the union to pick up those chips you dropped/threw at your friend/mushed into the floor.

Other than that, new seating and a quieter area, but I don't think we should get rid of the games room. People use those pool tables a lot. Get rid of the small tables between the bar and the central seating area because people sitting/standing there block access to and from the bar and add to the general confusion and crush.

Oh, and I need better minions! Mine suck! :P

Last month I believe...

Unless something has drastically changed, there will be no more offsales come next September. Whether we'll have anything to replace it with remains to be seen... *COUGH*PHIL*COUGH* .

I try.

In all seriousness this has been a long time coming, as you know. So I hope that there is (or soon will be) some concrete plans over what to do with the shop space after the new laws come into force.
