jane2008 15 #4 Posted June 16, 2018 I was told it was for refurbishment. I've seen new machinery there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
WasThatWise 10 #5 Posted June 16, 2018 It’s new old machinery stacked up on lanes 23,24 but newer than the old old machinery, last I heard the centre couldn’t come to an agreement over the cost of installing it, that was months ago.

haddy 10 #6 Posted June 17, 2018 Maybe the Information Commissioners Office gave them a huge fine for continuing to send people (including me) emails despite not opting in before the GDPR deadline There is exclusions for smaller businesses and would say that this probably fits this that they don't have to ask you about changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muckymurphy 10 #7 Posted June 18, 2018 What was expected to be an hour and half of bowling turned into three hours because of faulty equipment and lanes out of action. what should have been a pleasurable afternoon was a bloody nightmare and made me late for an appointment.

WasThatWise 10 #10 Posted June 18, 2018 Doubt it personally, they lost nearly all their leagues which was their bread and butter, can only see it demolished for flats as has been rumoured or gradually vandalised as it has already and a “fire sale”.

carltoncdx 10 #12 Posted June 19, 2018 The existing AMF machinery was 2nd hand when it was fitted years ago. The newer stuff may be Brunswick GS10's or GS 92's. Both these are at least 25 years old so i wouldn't expect miracles unles it's been well looked after. I worked on the GS10's at Superbowl in Hillsborough in the early 90's,it's good gear as long as it's maintained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
