Save the Boleyn Tavern
|
|
There is a strong possibility that the Boleyn might close after the move to Stratford as it is heavily reliant on match day revenue.
Once it’s gone, it’s gone. It will be turned into flats or a Tesco with all the history ripped out and thrown in the skip.
I’m trying to get it listed as an Asset of Community Value. Achieving ACV status would give it a bit of extra protection from developers as they would have to put in a planning application for change of use and leave it open to objection.
I need 27 signatures of people who live in the borough or an adjacent borough and who are on the register of electorates.
You can either sign this petition, and include your address, or if you feel more secure you can PM me your details.
I’m trying to do something similar for the Earl of Essex on the Romford Road, so let me know if you are willing to put your name to that as well. Again, you need to live in Newham or an adjacent borough.
Thanks everyone.

They won't make any money once we've gone though, can't see that they'd make anywhere near enough to stay afloat without the matchday pint chuckers.

In a weird way I do love it.
Bit sing songy for me though, can’t have a chat with my pals in there.

It will be a Paddy Power or Tesco Express if they save the building. Or perhaps a mosque.

Fully appreciate and understand the sentiment in what you are trying to do, however as has been pointed out, as sad as it is, there is no way the place can survive without football.

Better off having it rebuilt brick by brick at Stratford.
Once West Ham go you'd imagine every pub near the ground will go.
After next May 99% of people who go to matches will have no reason to visit Upton Park ever again.

if you force them to keep it open the poor sods running it will probably go bankrupt
either that or as it can't be used for anything else they'd pull out and it would sit empty

don't get me wrong i'd love them to stay open. But the fact is they are probably not viable businesses without match trade
so who is meant to take the ineviatable losses if they stay as pubs?

Not worth saving
The Black Bull will more than make up for its loss

Just don't expect Def or Fortunes to sign, they're looking forward to the Bollywood cinema being extended.

I agree with Sven, best thing for it is to be rebuilt at the OS or in Stratford near the new ground. Great idea what your doing but it will cost them more to keep it open. Its to dependant on match days to make money

It's not a nice pub on the inside. Has just relied on matchday income and hasn't seen a lick of paint for years. Doesn't deserve to be saved.

Hold on, are there actually any West Ham fans living in Newham?
You learn new things every day.
