I intend to boycot the place until they take those chelsea flags down and stop wearing chelsea shirts on matchdays. Pisstake i tell thee

Been saying it all year, hardly anyone drinks in there now - all about the tap

Yeah-bollocks to 'em

Last time I went in the CG Hotel I had an ID card to get in and there was a guy on the back door with a Doberman (or something else.) That was a few years ago mind. What's it like now?

Ive still got my card. 

To be fair its a lot busier than it was back then. Even now, when its someone elses pub.

But it is terrible what theyve done to it. Unfortunately I think Rich got influenced by one of the Chelsea lot. Shame.

Very rare for me to have a drink at all before a match now, usually drive up with the missus. When we do get the bus we normally pop into town for some grub and bevvies.

I haven't been in there for a while either. It's lost a bit of character for me.

Went there before the game on Saturday and it was quite busy.

Garden was ramos.

Geezer walking around behind the bar in a Chelsea shirt somewhat ruined the experience for me though so I shall not return until that kind of behaviour is knocked on the head.

Or at least until the next home game :)

That Chelsea stuff really fucking pisses me off. It's Swindon's pub ffs. It's that fucking Herman Munster guy and his fat family who are the Chelsea fans isn't it?
I tell you, Rich needs to sort that place out, it really has gone down hill. I waited 15 minutes for a pint Sat and it wasn't even that busy. They were all running around like headless chickens serving different areas of the bar, not having a clue who was next. Thick twats. Why do they not just allocate an area of the bar to each of the six bar staff who were serving?

I don't go in there anymore, I don't like having to wait 10 minutes at the bar to get served.

I think I've only been in there once or twice and the place looked like a sh1t hole, but it is a bit of a joke though stfc fan's in there on a matchday and they wear Chelsea shirts, they should align themselves with stfc a bit more and they may get a bit of respect.

Haven't been there for years, but have been thinking about it, but if there are prats wearing Chelsea shirts they can stuff it.

I like the county ground hotel. But yeah just before a game it can take ages to get served.

They used to do great food. A lot of contractors that worked at the same firm i did when i was in Swindon loved the place.
Dinner was what you were served, not what you chose from a menu tho.

I don't go in there anyway (Full of rough types) but to have some twat in a chelski shirt behind the bar on a matchday is a bit of a joke.

Quite!! my dad went in there once to wait for me when I was working for ITV and a man starting shouting at him for buying a programme????

Were you reporting for ITV from the CG? Did you know Roger Malone?

I always go in there....have been for years...agree with DRS though about the Chelsea shit...though Rich has done alot of work and worked hard there.

Anybody complained to the Chelski guys?  E-mail Arkells Brewery and complain, tell them they are losing money hand over fist cos of the twat!

Are they a brewery or privately owned?

If its a brewery then have a word cos' it's taking the piss innit.

Dunno bruv

The CG is an Arkells. the landlord is a tenant of Arkells.
