Another one bites the dust

Post by AMK »

Not that anybody cares. But the small arcade in Leeds train station has closed down. Think it closed around 2 weeks ago.

Even had a 10p extreme hehe.

Was player central towards the end. STC, a coin, hof, dial. Only maybe a year ago it still had a hotstuff and vamp on 25.



Looks like it went bust. Someone had it in for the old cow in there though. Always scratching nonsense about her on the machines lol.

They couldn't be bothered to travel from Clacton to Ipswich for just one arcade! Elliott Ball has his Clacton Pier and Seawick arcade. Plus they have at least 3 more arcades floating about there. They ban anybody who happens to win on a machine.

Yeah but they couldn't give a shit about that arcade. Its the 5 or 6 around Clacton that would hurt them if they got shut down. I suppose that fat woman just might be unemployed now though.

RIP

I basically lived in there from 98 - 2003. Was amusing watching players from other towns passing through and wasting a score checking stuff. :)

What was it called tho, i cant remember for the life of me...

They had one in wakefield too (with a thunderbird worker but you had to pay the staff a cut to let you do it lol).
