A POPULAR pub with Saints fans is on the market for £500,000.

The King Alfred pub, near St Mary's Stadium, has a first floor function room which doubles up as an away fans bar and regularly hosts live entertainment.

Tonya West from property agents Christie and Co said the pub, known as The Glebe when it was built in 1932, is different from other pubs in the city.

"The King Alfred is one of the few genuine independent venues still around and it is conveniently situated less than a half a mile from the city centre.

"In addition from attracting football fans, the King Alfred is quickly acquiring a reputation as a great venue for all types of private parties and functions."

This will be an ideal location for some more 1 bed flats. I reckon we should be able to get 20 or so plasterboard palaces on that site. No parking though.

Pubs encourage violent behaviour, so perhaps demolition would be a good idea.

No more flats, though, please!

Floyd, I do hope you are not student who drinks in The Frog and Frigate, you can't even spell it.

There are more student bars in this student ridden town than enough already, it's time some were bombed with or without the sponging great unwashed inside them.
