Although not ideal Weatherspoons are a large & ongoing concern & although I personally am not keen on these artificial, fizzy pasteurized pish peddlers, at least they are bringing work & money into an area which has to be a good thing !

Don't wetherspoons go move into already bustling areas to try and cream off some of the busy trade. Seems they might struggle in Accy then.

It's Regency. They've already got a contract on it. Not sure when they'll be starting work on it though. I only know coz the landlord I work for told me.

My favourite restaurant very nearby - Quattros - have said to me that trading in Accy centre has not been as good as expected.

The opening of Witherspoons may well eventually result in the closure of both of them.

Has been discussed in this thread, Sazandy .. looks like you are not the only one who has heard this rumour :

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...s-56392-2.html
Try #24 onwards.

I think Weatherspoons would be a good addition .. this chain has always proved popular in other areas.

Mind you, access & location will have a major bearing on any enterprises ambitions, especially a Weatherspoons, they'll be looking for constant, viable turn over & if things don't add up I don't think they'll bother.

I'd rather they came, than have another empty pub, but personally I don't like them.

One opened in my manor in sarf London.

No music equals souless to me.

Plus if you dance on a table, you get funny looks when it's done in silence.

Do they not ? Never noticed . they've always been 'buzzing'.
Maybe if you had kept your shirt on would have had a better reception, Garinda ..

Could have a point.

Shouts of 'Off! Off! Off!'

Might have meant me on the table, rather than the removal of my combinations.

I always wondered where Pat Butcher worked, before moving to Walford.

Did she still have big ones then?
