You don’t mean ‘the Gateway’ do you?What was the name of that pub in Havelock Street where we all met up, can't recall it's name
That was on Gateway Street (Asylum Street)Yeah it was the Gateway. Not sure what its called now.
Probably a Cannabis farm now like virtually all the gaffs down that way.
A poor business decision to have a ‘pub’ aimed at a student population of a university whose intake is increasingly disinterested in alcoholIt was re-named The Font. And was specifically aimed at the student population.
They're not disinterested, they don't want to pay pub prices so get pissed in their uni accommodation before going to clubs.A poor business decision to have a ‘pub’ aimed at a student population of a university whose intake is increasingly disinterested in alcohol
I met Rob/Soho in April 2008 in the Gateway. I'd started The Moaning Line in March. I think BR started in Dec 2007The Gateway was the pub where I met a lot of Roofers for the first time. As Shane says it was a decent boozer with a good selection of ales. Was there a pub that Roofers met before they started going there?
slightly missed the point…. I was alluding to the fact that DMU has one of the largest Islamic societies among the UK’s tertiary education establishments. Increasingly young Muslims don’t drinkThey're not disinterested, they don't want to pay pub prices so get pissed in their uni accommodation before going to clubs.
Gary Silk's messageboard was a Sky production called 'Rivals'In the days before The Roof when Gary ran a messageboard operated by Sky for a while - wasn't that called The Fox?
And before that wasn't it the Treehouse?
Well some on here used to use the Huntsman.
Oh yeah. I remember now.Gary Silk's messageboard was a Sky production called 'Rivals'
I have no idea what percentage of the intake to DMU joins. Although part of my work places me there and I am reliably informed that their society is one of the largest in the UK. It’s an interesting question though isn’t it…….(?)What percentage of the 30,000 students at DMU, are part of the Islamic Society?
It’s very difficult as an independent, trying to compete with the student union. For a while, a bar on the ground floor of the union building’The Graduate’ was launched, but only lasted three academic years until it lost out to ‘Level One’ upstairs.The old manager at Barkby,'s Malt Shovel took it over for a while with his two lads before moving out to a country pub
Treehouse I thinkOh yeah. I remember now.
What was Gary's board called before he joined up with Sky?
Think so too.Treehouse I think
