Asomodai Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 https://i.imgur.com/lDKyIrd.jpg This one is a real shame. It was pretty unique. I never managed to get down to it when Reaper Ops took over, but played it once in the Red 1 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commiserations to all who played there ☹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylordofwaargh Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I am going to say that that whilst covid is a driving factor on these closures, landlord fees/rent, business rates and insurance fees are going to be what is killing these sites. The pub company I work for have had zero relief in rent from a number of landlords, it is not hard to imagine this is the trend. Like CS i'm sure LW will be looking into gaining another site, I hope soon. As to reaper ops did they have this site long? I only came aware of it over lock down and added it toto my post lockdown 'must visit list'. Still, the coffee is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 1 gave it up because the rent was too expensive and there was a limit on the number of people on site, due to the small footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
