Background: Astons was an extremely popular bar situated on Derwen Road, Bridgend. Regrettably, it was demolished after extensive fire damage. To the present day, people still believe that there is a lack of a suitable replacement to rival the popularity of Astons. The pubs of Cardiff and Swansea relish in receiving custom from the population of Bridgend as they provide a much more enjoyable evening compared to the disatisfied feeling a night out in Bridgend now gives you in the basence of Astons. Since 24 hour drnking laws have been passed, construction of the massive Broadlands estate and Bridgend town centre has becoming the focus of a new born county, a centre for social culture has never been in such high demand. A new Astons would certainly unite the segregated "town-goers" in celebration of such fantastic memories. The Ritz Bingo building has proved a popular site for potential refurbshmenet. The following list demonstrates the massive interest in an a future Astons project, I very much doubt that you wouldn't see a massive return.

I am truly overwhelmed by how many of you still hold such fond memories of this place. This momentum belongs entirely to the community that kept the spirit of those nights alive long after the doors closed.

The Ritz building is just sitting there rotting away. Turn it into a club and bring people back to the town center instead of them all going to Cardiff.

SO many memories in that place... such a shame it burnt down. Bridgend really needs a proper spot again.

Needs to happen asap. Sick of paying for taxis just to go for a decent drink.

Bridgend is dead these days. Used to have some proper nights out in Astons back in the day. Bring it back!
