Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

I notice that this shower wetherspoons are not only demolishing some building out the back of the Commercial, they have also applied for a 9am opening license and a 3am closing license (thursday-sunday). No doubt that will mean more cops on town centre duty and more crime elsewhere.

Lets hope it's refused.

Don't see what the problem is with 0900 hrs opening, some people enjoy a cooked breakfast and a coffee. The alkys can obtain their drinks from many places at that time of the morning.
Quite possibly they are demolishing some part of the building that is not required and creating a smoking area in it's place.

They are demolishing it because it is unsafe... see #702 on Planning Applications thread, and go into Report. :rolleyes: that emoticon for Tealeaf, not you Barrie.

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

Heard the rumour and fingers crossed, that place needs reopening!

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

Thanks Kate.;):D
How one can criticise when the place hasn't even opened yet is beyond me.:confused::rolleyes:

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

Quite agree, could turn out to be the only decent pub in the centre of Accrington - Sorry, it will be the only pub in the centre of Accrington.:D

'One's man's meat is another man's poison' as they say.
Lots of people do enjoy the buzz of Wetherspoons and it is these people they are pandering too.
I'm hopeful it will bring more people into town, and that is what it is all about really. Good to see that one pub chain has confidence in Accrington... :p

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

I will give it a try before I criticise it. At least it is close to the market - another option for a "natural break":D

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

yep read it other day.

Re: Weatherspoons Pub coming to Accy???
 

Pubs come and go these days but I've yet to see a Witherspoons close down.. once they get in they are in to stay..having said that I reckon it's long overdue for Accy... I don't think it will cause any of the near town center pubs much hardship simply because most people out for a night out in Accy move around from pub to pub.
