I'm more concerned about the smaller contractors and suppliers that Tweedy owed money to but didn't pay. These people were just trying to make an honest living, and ended up screwed.

I get your point but Rev has had a late license for years!

not always been a late bar though or has it? I had an incident in there a number of years ago and don't go in there but before that I never remember spending a full night in there.

kryogen

yeah i guess it used only be a late bar on weekends years ago

an incident eh sounds interesting

ziedth

Interesting enough,

Didn't have a fight or anything but still pissed off to this day.


That is crazy when you think about it that only albeit debatably two clubs/LB's have survived.

What it tells me is that Waterford only sustains 2+2, and also that Waterford people are unhappy with how the late bars are. That is why whenever a new late bar opens everyone seems to switch to the new one.

not so much everyone but all the kiddies tend to switch.

I started my drinking life up in Dungarvan and it was a truly remarkable place in that say pub A would be jammed for week with all the "teens" (this was 10 years ago so underage drinking wasn't really an issue) then one week for no reason at all everyone would he in pub B.

Looking around it's hard to imagine that the city can't have a larger more varied club scene.

As much as I try and keep the nightlife stuff to the nightlife thread...some people are determined to riddle the Tweedy Thread with off topic jibber jabber. Some people were just not cut out to be mods.

;)You are so right Mr t never put his money up front , he put our money from the banks up front.And as for running a business well he's a publican that just got lucky and took a chance with the banks money. Now if he was smart he may not be as broke as we all think . Although I noticed the yoga business is now a solicitors , stretching things a bit I think ?????????

Work seems to have begun on Ruby's.

Passed by this morning and there were builders inside, with a skip etc outside in the bus stop.

Hopefully they do an good overhaul of the place.

Well they already missed Spraoi and the students back. It'd be nuts to miss Chrimbo season.

Ledger

Just read back over the entire thread, took a while but made for interesting reading to see how it all unfolded.


. . . . . and yes I do have too much time on my hand haha

ziedth

I sometimes to that,

It's awful but try and track down the AH thread during 911. It's actually a great read.

Adyx

I think there's a link to it in the Legendary Threads sticky in AHs.

They could nearly stick this thread in there at this stage.

ziedth

Could we have a Legendary thread for the Waterford fourm? Be awfully lonely with this in there on it's own!

abouttobebanned

Heard yesterday that paddies day is te target date for rubys/whatever they're gonna call it.

Just noticed this.

Could do with a bit of an update and clarification methinks. I can't due to a conflict of interest haha

Naming it after the foundry in carlow? altho i seen a SHUSH poster on top of it passing the other day, or is that just poster have on it to market the foundry.

i think naming two clubs same name so close is bogye.,

Especially since carlow is known for foundry, its like calling it tripod waterford.

should be someway riginal and make it a club waterford owns and not into start of foundry franchise.

I made that mistake too, it appears the SHUSH is their kinda naff marketing campaign. "Don't tell anyone" etc
