Renowned Collingwood pub The Tote has officially been saved from developers and will remain “a live music venue forever” after a 3000-person-strong community came to the rescue

“We just want to say thank you. To all of you. Every single one of you. You have done this,” Mr Hilton and Ms Chance wrote in a post on The Last Chance’s Facebook page.

To reach their $3m target, the couple needed 3000 people to pledge $1000 each, which would go towards the purchase and in turn, make pledgees life members of the longstanding hotel. “It’s a stunning result for the community to reach the $3m target … looks like the scruffy old The Tote makes history again,” the post stated.
