Yes i always assumed it was a freehold. I wouldnt blame him if he just wants to retire now being at the mercy of that crowd. 

A friend who lives in the next road says the word on the street is that a young Irish family is  taking over the Blythe.

But also, some local (to the pub!) people were looking into the possibility of it becoming a community owned pub, which would have been nice.

Who knows. Wait and see, eh. Fingers crossed and hope it doesn't change too much 😭 There aren't many pubs like the Blythe left 😭

Can’t see stonegate accepting an offer from community group.  Would love to be wrong 

if a young Irish family are going to take it over then good luck to them.  You need to be a canny operator (and Con was definitely that) to handle the hoops stonegate throw at you
