    Can't wait to take a look next time I am over.

    I used to have the occasional pint in there on non-match days and often after an away game when we were using the club coaches. And I always felt that it got a reputation that it didn't really deserve.

    There's not really much competition in West Watford after all.

    I think it will look great once it is finished. Such a shame the cabinets were not the right ones when delivered, but Price hopes they will be sorted for next time. It was great to see some legends in there.

    I managed to get a sneak peak on the thursday night which was very nice. Although to say that Smart was pissed would be an understatement, he had had about 10 pints of "smart arse" apparently. He was colourful to say the least. He wanted a taxi home but no-one knew a number for one so he was cursing and swearing a fair bit lol.

    My dad and i wonder if there are issues with the brick work. How much of it is listed?? Cos if it is a listed building then they wont be able to remove the tiles saying Red lion. But i dont know about the rest. I meant to ask Price, but he was very busy!

    It depends. One of the grades means you cannot alter the exterior appearance at all. So who knows.

    Thanks for the snaps H. At least the sign looks new and the background to the Red Lion is Yellow so there's a start.
