It's certainly true that they (or rather, their owners IGG) are thinking about it...

I'm willing to bet this years spate of emptiers (especially DOND) and the notey scams have nullified any good profits they were hoping to make. Add to that paying engineers etc and you can see why they are struggling. Wonder what the future holds then chaps?

if you read coinslot (the trade mag) then youll know that inspired (who own LL) are indeed pulling out of pubs they intend to keep LBOs and multisites such as butlins and havens though.
