The Market Place/bolton Town Centre/rant Page.

Read on twatter a post by Reebok Voice saying he had been in The Market Place and was suprised to see so many empty shops.

 

I think he said 20 odd closed. I went in sunday and also couldnt believe how many closed!

 

Well according to the Bolton News, another 2 are closing.

 

Top man and The body shop.

 

Place will be closed in 5 years!!

  • Bolton will be a shithole for as long as the council is dominated by Labour halfwits.   Reap what you sow etc..   They think capital investment is getting the train to London for a march.   Big

  • Laughable. The report suggests the need for more independent retailers. Didn't someone make a decision to modernise the market hall and price out the independents. Useless the lot of them

A 10 page thread full of grown men complaining about some shops. Fucking unbelievable.

 

You've missed the point completely Cheese. Its the lack of shops they are moaning about.

Anyone know the point of moving the market?

Besides which Cheese, this is a forum on which we discuss things pertinent to Bolton Wanderers, Bolton town, anything else, usually in that order.

If it was 29 pages of general consensus of opinion that Bolton is shit, has always been shit and that The Trafford Centre, Bury, Middlebrook are cracking - good riddance (to town) etc. you could guarantee bellend here would be on posting how everyone should be ashamed, traitors to their hometown, no civic pride and the rest.

 

He's a contrarian and, unlike DIddles, who was at least occasionally amusing (if unintentionally so) has no redeeming features whatsoever.

Contrarian? Is that like a cunt?

Well, at least you get a +1 for that, the most sensible thing you've every posted on here.

That bird in cargo is fuck stunning at least

i like cheese

 

Dairy Product: most definitely.

WW Poster: no ta. Gives me indigestion.

Is Uncle Dave's DW store off the Town Hall Square new, just round the corner from Ashleys? I hadn't noticed it before.

 

Whether it's new or not you've got Newcastle and Wigan's chairmen making money in the Town Hall Square and there's not even a Bolton club shop within 6 miles.Disgusting.

They own sports stores, Bolton Wanderers own a football club (which is less than 6 miles).

 

Whopper!

If they do, that'd be a profile thing more than a massive profit making exercise.

I don't think the poster quite understands it. Or they do and they're a massive whopper.

Dunno tbh.Can't be that much of a ghost town if theres so many sports shops

Aye. 3 chav emporiums, a dozen pawn brokers, 10 charity shops & Crazy Georges.

 

 

It's rocking in down town Bolton.

Whoppers arent only found up at the middlebrook burger king.

Not the only thing to have a shop in JD :lol:

You missed out the numerous 'bakers/confectioners' (used in the loosest possible terms) - including a Greggs in the now 'high-end retail only' Market Place, and quite physically separate from it's much vaunted 'food court'.

 

I'm of the opinion this decline is being deliberately allowed, something is definitely afoot...

 

It's not all doom and gloom - Iceland has opened a store on Manny Road. Prawn ring anyone?

I hope they're not demolishing Rice n Three - it's the only thing worth lingering in town for...

Closed now.

 

Fortunately they're reopening opposite McCauley's in mid-August.

Oh good, I can pop in during my Balmoral sessions
