Had to read it a few times, looking for clues that it wasn't a wind up. Wondered how it would cope are John's death but never expected this.

 

A sad day for the town, just hope someone else takes it over. Can't believe that it wasn't making money.

I think maybe there's a difference between "making money" and "making money on Friday and Saturday nights."

Nice

Seven workers at the Churchgate pub received text messages this morning saying they were redundant.

 

I think Micky is right, Friday and Saturday it's rammed, but it probably takes next to cock all during the week. The cost of ale and no doubt the rates they had to pay were obviously too much. It's an all to common occurance these days unfortunately

Churchgate is like a graveyard on a night, oddly. The student crowd that used to go to the Varsity aren't there this year as some cunt has turned it into a "fun pub" with some Ray Von twat DJ'ing.

There's a fine line between being a olde style pub and being a dive, I think the Scythe had become the latter.

 

Hopefully someone can get it open and profitable again, hopefully not one of the punch tavern style twats that aren't helping the pub trade.

you mean there is no more 8 songs for a £1 jukebox anymore ?

You are correct. Last time I went in was a couple of years ago with some of the nobs on here. It really was a smelly hole and I thought at the time, it could be so much nicer.

Gutted!

I was in on a Thursday night the other week & Yates aside there were more people in the Ye Old Man than any other pub. That said it wasn't exactly rammers.

Bolton Town Centre supping is a grim affair. We used to get the taxi/train from Scotts after the match and stay in town till we could sup no more.

Now, we stay in Scotts, then go back to HTown and have plenty of pubs to have a stab at without the fear of getting stabbed, touched up by an East European, asked "what are you looking at?" by some slag whos outfit must've been in the tumble dryer too long, or have to pay a 20 quid taxi fare home.

I'm sure other folk from outlying areas do the same thing too.

Bolton town centre is dog wank for a drink

thanks, clifford and cronies

devastating news

 

 

"get out, yer barred"

Sad news.Might have been a shithole but it did have a bit of character,also thats another live music venue down the pan.As Frank pointed out it will be a shame if one of the Punch tavern type of organisations get hold of it.Think I shall be trying Horwich myself in future because Bolton town centre really is the pits pub wise.

Remember though, the word according to WWs most rational poster is that Horwich is a shithole, Shat?

I'm gonna stick to my local, but that's got a To Let sign up on it I blame the anti-social piss pots who drink at home.

The real story?

 

Some young lads from, wait for it, Bolton, came into a couple of pubs giving it the big licks.

 

They left in an ambulance & paddy wagon, we carried on supping and that that was that. Smiffs was also a witness.

 

Don't you just love FB.

I heard it all started when Horwicher kicked some saw dust up off the floor with his rigger boots on at a smartly dress Boltonian

That'd be a bit difficult on carpet, but do carry on.

 

Your'e just bitter because the only pub near you is shutting.
