It has been getting less and less busy on match days, upstairs bar not open although seats are, doubt it does huge trade on non-match days unless booked for a function.
The new 'doctors surgery' look didn't help but bog-standard pubs are finished. The Royal Oak won't be far behind. There is hardly any non-matchday trade.
I remember when we won the league in there. The female singer kept asking us to stop singing over her. We all continued and she packed up and went home.
It was rocking that night and was a fantastic memory my Dad and I often talk of.
The amount of drinking establishments in Charlton that have closed over the years is ridiculous. If any more close we will probably have our pre match drink at London bridge or Greenwich.

Whilst that's true, the matchday income from having 16,000+ coming into the area was more than enough to cover the minimal takings during the week. Not a coincidence that the Liberal and The Antigallican have closed at a time when our gates are the lowest they've been since we moved back to The Valley.

as its where my group all meet up, and the staff are great as well.
Still always the Antigallican.
CL to take it over as a clubhouse?
The real shame was that they did the deal to sell of the older part of the building not knowing the Con club was about to close.
If they had known the joint trade might have kept them open but now too small and not enough non-match day income is my guess.

Sad to see it go.

Another thing to thank Roland for.
