No problem Trent - enjoy !!
Good numbers enjoying the beer and the sunshine at the Plough in Horninglow today. Pedigree, Jennings and Hobgoblin Gold on draught
@ Sewton. Nice one.
I'm looking forward to being able to take us all down to see our friends in The West Midlands.
There's a lovely Marston's pub near them called The Glassworks that we enjoy going in to. great food & staff, and a nice drop of Hobgoblin Gold.
We usually pop in for the Sunday lunch. Well looking forward to some of that.
Just been out and about in town and its so nice to see all the pubs and cafes rammed at opening!
This won't stay at this SP for long.
Just a conservative investment to start.
GLA and cheers
Nice post Trent - I am also a carer for our daughter so know where you are coming from - not been easy these last 12mnths - but life goes on and soon I will take her to her favourite pub for a meal and a pint. Can't wait. Just glad its not chucking it down on the first day of re-opening !!!
* and thank you for your kind words too.
@ FD, Barchid & Yoyoma.
Thank you for your mind words. Much appreciated.
It's all part of our routine now so don't really think about it too much.
Like everything else, things can always be better, but things could also be much worse. We all have our hands to play in life. You have to play it the best that you can, the same as everyone else.
Seems to have settled, topped up ready for push up to 110 - best of luck all.
I second that also Trent, having spent a large amount of time on this board you get to know the regulars to a point where a virtual community forms. I do wish you the very best of British.
The very best to you Trent, most sincerely.
Jeez, not quite the opening I was expecting. However, price is moving all over the place.
Opportunists(Traders) will be talking up Hospitailty stocks today, to achieve a margin.
I reckon a high of 107 or 108. Possibly 110 or 111 if really lucky.
Obviously both depending on volume and sentiment
@FD. Thanks mate. It is what it is, and thats that. I don't mind it, you have it to do don't you.
Trent your devotion too family is highly commendable. I know how you were eager to re-invest dividends here. One hopes those days will return for as you say this company does provide an outlet for you.
I still believe as Daave only too well emphasises, the road to rebuilding a profitable balance sheet will take some time, remembering we only get 40% of the "Crown Jewels" which is and was the backbone of Marstons.
If it is of any use to anyone. I did some calculations for my pub and we have decided not to open as we anticipate an average of 20% or less revenue for the 5 week period and an increase of costs and overheads anywhere up to 3 times our normal overheads!
Other pubs are expecting drastically different numbers but I think we are all in agreement that there are going to be some absolutely awful days.
I'm not too concerned over short term movements in the SP.
I've said in the past that I only have a small holding in here, but I do like the company, so I'll be staying long term unless something dramatically negative occurs.
I started buying into shares before giving up work to become a full time carer for my son, so have not been in a position to add to any of my holdings, but no complaints there. You have to deal with the hand that you're delt, and that's that.
That said, my interests here and in Sgc give me something outside of that to think about. It's always nice to have some outside interests to think about.
Good luck to our company, and To my fellow holders going forward for prosperous times to come.
It is brilliant news that Hospitality outlets will be opening tomorrow. However unless you are a Trader and support the hype, from a purely Business angle, profits are going to be hard earned. Less than half the Brains Pubs are to re-open this week . 2 publicans who post here have doubts regarding viabilty and are not opening.
There may well be a sentimental increase in SP tomorrow, but be prepared for a retrace once the euphoria has subsided.
LTH will be looking towards the annual accounts in early October when the true effect on the Balance sheet will be revealed.

Agreed, I did a little last minute buying of these on Friday. A lot of pent up demand for meeting friends again at a pub.
Lots of positive sentiment in the Sunday papers around the hospitality sector re-opening tomorrow. The good weather forecast for the next 2 weeks coupled with the recent Berenberg upgrade bodes well for an eventful start to the week.
Just received e.mail from Brains listing 60 pubs to open up shortly.
I'd email them directly to ask. Get the answer direct from the horse's mouth.
I live in South Wales where we have more Brains than Marston pubs so does anyone know if we can use the card in brains pubs when they open for business.
