Southport Red Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I've had two posts removed from here this morning and then get error messages when I try to post. None of the removed messages were obscene or legally iffy, merely telling folks that Orr gined when I got the SMS and yet both have totally disappeared. I know this isn't ctrictly City related and I should post on the other forum etc but THIS is the forum I'm having the problem with and I wanted to know if anyone else was haing trouble since the forum changed? ← Tom F you've helped me twice thank you. Firstly you explained where the posts went and then the link on your reply told me what Dave & Busters was. I was visiting family over the weekend and went to Cribbs Causeway & me & the missus were wondering what Dave & Busters was, then you reply to my email with a link that explains all. Now that IS spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeper Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Happy days working there, great memories Will be a Hollywood Bowl opening in its place before christmas ← The amount of things that place has been rumoured to be is phenomenol! Last time I heard it was meant to be a children's activity area, incorporating a gym, learning zones and relaxation areas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NailseaRed Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Nice, I've needed an excuse for the multiquote function Yes its true: http://www.daveandbusters.org.uk/news/news2.php It should be opening relatively soon, they've just got to tear out the £2m worth of funishings inside, refit some tacky furnishings i, stick some bowling lanes in and hey presto job done Its been rumoured in the past to be a Virgin Acive, Concorde's Home.. amongst a list of highly entertaing ideas. Anyone can stump up £18k a week on the rent and take on Bass's remaining 20 year licence on the building need only apply ← That article was written this time last year saying it is going to open christmas 2003. Reckon they've had a change of heart and it won't go ahead after all? Seems quite a fair bit behind schedule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 How long was it open for? And why did it close? I guess because it just didnt get the customers but why didnt it? And did the person who signed the lease get the sack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I wanted to know if anyone else was haing trouble since the forum changed? ← My only problem with this forum is when I start to write my thoughts they seem coherent and sound, but by the time I read them back they have turned into complete tosh. From what I have read lately I don't think I am the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailseaRed Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Open from 30th July 1998 to October 20th 2000. Not very long at all really. It closed partially due to lack of enough customers and too many constraints from the US company who allowed the franchise (such as no u-21's and so forth) At the time Bass had an agreement that they would open 15 stores over the period of 20 years, so back then a 25 year lease fitted the plans. Bass then claimed that it wasn't in there future plans to continue running the stores. There is loads of info on the site about it, its a long long story, but most of us who worked there expected it, just not quite as quickly as it happened. Anyway, better move this now.. ← Ah yeah T.Ford that must be you! Ah well that'll be cool bout time there was a bowling alley over that way. Maybe get some decent quality lanes in bristol at last!

Guest Kay74 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Wow, I didn't know people still remembered the good D&B days. I was a part of the 'wait staff' for about six months.. I quite enjoyed the job, but rememeber not being too fond of the uniform. I still wish I kept mine as a souvenier! Nice to hear they're doing something with that building seemed such a waste.. I saw the sign disappear a few weeks ago and thought something was up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
