Time to map out a plan for Villa's future

Pub’s tele-vision for future
Friday 4th July 2008, 8:00AM BST.
Boasting leather-seated booths with personal plasma screens and shiny new wooden flooring, here is the first glimpse of Wolverhampton’s newest contemporary pub.
The old-fashioned Bradmore Arms is in the past and staff are now celebrating a new future for the pub which has been transformed as part of a two-month project.
The innovative plasma screens project, which has seen Freeview TVs fitted in seven booths each with their own remote control, means the days of leaving your favourite programmes at home while going out to dine are now well and truly gone.
The function room has been refurbished to cater for 100 people. The old bar has been ripped out and replaced with a new grand centrepi-ece, and the old open-plan layout scrapped to make way for a new modern restaurant, contemporary bar area and a sports section with two new pool tables.
Wolves legend and Stafford Rangers manager Steve Bull performs the official opening at 5pm on Saturday.

And we always go on about kids in the street are “anti-social”.
Why bother going to the pub to watch telly?
They’ll be having a really grand conversation won’t they? Staring at a screen like rabbits caught in headlights.
What the hell are we letting our society become?

Let’s see what it’s like a few months down the line. Many refurbished pubs seem great once they re-open, then return to bog-standard after the initial fuss.
I can sit on a leather sofa in my own personal space watching Freeview and have access to a remote control. The beer is cheaper than the Bradmore and I can smoke indoors. It’s called staying-in.

I think people are making a big fuss about the televisions, but it does not mean that the whole pub is full of them .The pub looks fantastic and classier than before and the boths with tellys give them a different look.
I think this place as improved a lot maybe too classy for some people of Wolverhampton.
