Aka 'Spoons, Nelson Square to shut up shop? Overheard some bloke ballooning about it today...Surely not, piss poor if we can't even maintain one of those.

 

As an aside, what's with Tiggis these days? It's seemingly packed, well busy at least every weekend - with what mostly favvers the cast of Quadrophenia, thirty six years on...

Octagon Theatre putting shows on at the Balmoral according to the BN.

 

Maybe Spoons feel out of place in that rarified atmosphere?

Loads of whetherspoons shutting down nationally

Yeah, but you'd think there's enough deadlegs residing here to keep ours viable...

 

As for it being a bit insalubrious, I took the missus in for a bite to eat, big spender that I am, just before Christmas and there was a genuine tramp in, well, a trampess, sat in the back, feet up on a chair if you please, in there keeping herself warm I suppose, no drink or owt though, the girlfriend, who's not a mean-spirited bastard like me, said to her "You look freezing, would you like a drink?" (meaning sommat warm)...cheeky mare asked for (and got) a pint of Stella...Thought at the time it was kind of the staff not to shift her on, on reflection they probably couldn't give a shite about the job/place if they knew their p45s were imminent.

A lot of pubs in northern towns are undercutting spoons for ale prices.

Can't see spoons in busy town centres shutting down surely it'll be the ones in smaller towns/villages

 

So this makes sense with the rumour mill missing out one half of the story

It part of their Reveal season which is all about getting the octagon out of the theatre so more people can access it.

It's only a fiver as well.

Not for certain if the Spoons is shutting, Deffo not buying the Swan.

The William Wilberforce in Hull is a bit of a strange one as it's probably the best of the lot on the city as it seemed to have less of the all day pisscans in there. But then maybe that's why

 

I bet there's a few off here who have vague recollections of that place after that 1-0 win there
