Market Day?
2 Attachment(s)
Tuesday is supposedly market day in Accy isn't it? We now have a much reduced market but when I was down there this afternoon one corner seemed to consist of totally empty stalls. What's going on?

Re: Market Day?
There's normally a big cheap clothing stall that spills out onto the pavement on that corner. Can't remember what else is supposed to be further down? An electronics stall and a sweet stall? Maybe they're on half-term holidays?
Still a very poor image for a market town! Nikki |
Re: Market Day?
Possibly something to do with it being Eid.:)
|
Re: Market Day?
Could be that the stalls are usually manned by Asians, and today is Eid so they're probably celebrating.

Re: Market Day?
Lol, at the same time you were posting this I was posting that I counted fourteen empty stalls this afternnon.
What a pair of 'whingers' we are!:D Perhaps the rose coloured spectacle wearing, do-gooding brigade, do all their shopping once a week at the supermarket!;) |
Re: Market Day?
I think there were more than a dozen empty stalls and considering how small the market now is that really doesn't leave very much. I wonder if the Sheffield University guys who took up one stall with ideas about improving the town centre actually realised this should have been one of the busiest days of the week?

Re: Market Day?
I think its quite sad to see the market in the state its in, maybe its not worth trading here anymore! I cant remember the last time I bought anything from the market which isn't great, should make more of an effort really.

Re: Market Day?
We usually do our shopping on a Saturday but last week we went on Friday, there was loads of empty stall then, probably not as many but they should all be occupied on any market day

Re: Market Day?
Accrington market and shops seem to be getting worse ( is if they ain't bad enough ). I have spoken to shop keepers on Wanner street and some of them are only opening on Thursday, Fridays and Saturday's because the rest of the week is so quite. Also, it cost a staggering 150 quid a week to rent one of the shops in the Victorian Arcade - which could be justified if anybody was autually shopping there. The price to stand on the market stall goes up about 50p a year. Maybe we should start a campaign - the TV lens ice should go for a start.... rant, rant, rant, rave, rave, rave....:swear8:

Re: Market Day?
I think that the main reason for the empty stalls was because it was Eid....I think that most of the stalls that were not on today will be back by Friday...but even then it is a pitiful excuse for a market.

Re: Market Day?
Clitheroe's used to be like a toy town market, compared with the once bustling Accy one.
Now it is much bigger, busier, and sadly certainly worth going to over Accrington's. |
