Poll: Should Wolverhampton's Goalpost pub be replaced with an Asda petrol station?

Following news that plans to tear down the old Goalpost Pub near Molineux look set to be refused after Asda wanted it to be demolished to make way for a petrol station, we'd like to hear what you think.

Asda wants to demolish the pub, now called Lounge 107, which has long been a favourite for Wolves fans on match days.

But plans for a new petrol station are recommended for refusal.

Council leader Roger Lawrence was among those to oppose the plans.

A report states that the proposed 24-hour filling station could cause anti-social behaviour and that queues could cause traffic chaos on Waterloo Road particularly on match days.

The Goalpost was a traditional fan pub for Wolves supporters for many years.

It is still open as Lounge 107 which also has a shisha lounge.

Two other traditional Wolves pubs - The Wanderer and The Feathers - have closed in recent months, leaving fans short of options for match day drinking by Molineux.

The report which goes before Wolverhampton City Council's planning committee next week lists a host of reasons why Asda's application should be refused.
