Planning application has been put in. Looks like it will be replacing the Anecdote.


Wow!

Because of the position (next to the away end) it isn’t as usable on matchday as it would be by the casino

The reflection in the window shows the casino but the location on the map is where the current shop is.

Looks like they'll be doubling the size of the current one?

it looks terrible and temporary where it is at the moment. This proposed one looks quality and exactly like a championship club's one should

Hope they’re not losing The Anecdote, probably the best option for a pint outside the ground. (No complaints if they get rid of all the rugby branding in there of course)

Almost certain it's in the same position, just a lazy drawing!

Fancy, needs doing, the current offering is very poor.


fecking hope they're not planning to combine the ticket office with the shop tills as suggested in above. that would be chaos of match days

The permission is only for the signage etc rather than anything else?

The render shows glazing above the new frontage so can't be same location.

Looks like it is being moved to where the wasps shop was?

It might be the only bit they need permission for, if the work is happening within the existing unit. It's already got permission for use as a retail outlet.

Yes. It's the existing store just being refitted. Think some people have the wrong end of the stick.

Some of the existing unit is behind a blank wall i think? So they're installing some glazing there instead?

So they're replacing the Anecdote then. Is it because there's nowhere else to put it or because the Anecdote doesn't make any money?

And the retro section is full of last years kit. Hardly "retro" mind you.

The application also calls it a 'refit'.

If it was replacing The Anecdote it would need a change of use application rather than just a change of signage.

Extending the existing - if possible - would make far more sense. I can’t imagine Fraser’s would be happy to sacrifice the Anecdote unless it’s losing its arse, which given the price they charge for a pint, I doubt. It’s a great spot on match days, especially in winter to escape the cold

Did the Wasps ‘superstore’ ever open its doors before they went Kaput? Is that now just redundant space? Could also be the alternative.
