SpiderPete   10 #29 Posted August 2, 2005 Well I emailed them yesterday to find out more info, and heard nothing as yet.  Maybe they might send u a membership card and a nice man as well as a bonus.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bensonhedges   10 #30 Posted August 2, 2005 Thank the lord that we seem to be getting somthing better than Dempsey's (not difficult I know). I always said that if I won the lottery I would open a classy gay bar in Sheff - seems I have been beaten to it. See you all there I hope...

alter_ego   10 #31 Posted August 2, 2005 Love Fuel in Hull so am well chuffed it's cummin' to Sheffield. Why will you need to be a member as you don't need to be in Hull! Also lets hope they don't have an R'n'B night as I hate it! When I was last in Hull (March '05) they had been closing gay venues,Foundation and Affinity, so lets give Sheffield loads of support!

nick2 Â Â 10 #32 Posted August 3, 2005 Originally posted by Kristian I reckon that's been the downfall of the other full time gay bars in Sheffield. If they do make a nice job of it inside, I think it might make a world of difference to it's popularity. Â I think that will make or break it, though if they have been to look at Dumpseys they might think we're not bothred about that kind of thing. Â I'm worried about this membership thing though, if it's going to just be a bar why do you need membership ? What happens if my mates come up from London, will they not be allowed in ?

redrobbo   10 #33 Posted August 3, 2005 Like nick2, I'm not sure why Fuel are insisting on membership.  It could be a way of ensuring that they publicise events, promotions, etc., via mail-outs?  I've checked with the Council's Licensing section - an application has been received from Fuel for a transfer of the license from Purple (the former licensee). Not familiar with Purple - does anyone know if it was a members only club? If so, that might explain why Fuel are seeking membership.

nick2 Â Â 10 #34 Posted August 3, 2005 Purple was a complete dump, filled with all the people who couldn't get into a decent pub in town. Renowned for underage drinkers and fighting. Â Perhaps the idea behind the membership is to make sure these former customers don't get into the new place ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
SpiderPete   10 #35 Posted August 3, 2005 or it could be an indictation to them to see how many people are interested in membership ... all works out to figures...  I have done mine anyway.   I would guess if ya a member u could bring people in, they obviously wont turn people away.  I am sure we will all know in good time.

graffy   10 #36 Posted August 3, 2005 alleluyah! hopefully it's not going to end up as a new Dempsey's, and a bit of competition between the 2 venues might bring the best out of the gay scene in Sheffield! Shame i'll be in Provence for opening night, but i've applied for membership, so see you all there in September! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
