Campaigners fight to save beloved Drayton pub.
Transcript
00:00 Camera's running.
00:02 Morning all. My name's Bobby Brothers.
00:04 Using this Manor House pub, which Green King wants to get rid of.
00:10 I've been using it for 40 years.
00:13 When the management was right, this could still be the best pub in the town.
00:18 It's for children, for families, it's always been a place of ambience.
00:24 Green King have not managed it properly.
00:26 Put a decent manager in there and we'd never be in this situation.
00:30 All it takes is good management, but the owners, Green King, do not care.
00:36 So, Bob, on behalf of readers of the news, what would be your message to Green King directors if they were here today?
00:45 I would say to the directors, think about it, look around you, look at all the people.
00:51 This is only a small proportion of people that use and love this pub.
00:56 Have a look around you, think about the people, not what goes into your pockets.
01:01 Thank you, Bob. Thank you for speaking to the news.
01:03 Thank you very much indeed.
