Hope the code does get passed and the bond holders hold firm then their may be an end to this game were all playing too high rents not enough customers at the end game stage I feel

everybody must be down the pub because nobody comments on here anymore

anybody with any target sp for this one opinions appreciated

anybody have any thoughts on this deal or no deal ive not seen an area manager now for 5 months no contact from head office but my rent keeps being taken every week so someone must be working at head office !!!

enough has been said whats your opinion on this action group and any possible outcome of court action

anybody have an opinion on the future of this company

will us pi be offered anythng for our approval

likewise i appreciate your thoughts the one big difference appears thomas cook have made a change ie internet staff reductions closing shops etc which has helped their case but punch need to charge us tennants a certain level of rent to meet payments for the loans they took out to buy these pubs in the first place this has to be at a certain level which i feel is unstainable as our costs have risen ie gas etc we have made all cuts possible but we need to open pub to sell beer that has to be staffed heated insured etc something that has reduced our profits most of punch pubs are run like this where as spirit has mostly managed pubs where all profit goes to brewery interesting times ahead but lets hope

in all due respect do you know something the rest of the country doesnt because i run a punch pub and over the 30 years ive been involved in this industry its never been so bad joe public is being squeesed beer prices are rising and desposible income is in decline so footfall wont rise just yet punch as a company are selling pubs that dont work and their estate is shrinking the remaining estate has a book value that may have been realistic before the credit crunch but not now so they dont have much room for profit upturn

They charge me £122.15 per 11gallon of fosters but without a discount it would be £145.39 at cash and carry or from a whosaler its about £85 so as you see they charge a premium as we are tied for our beer reackon they get fantastic price direct from the brewers The problem is the debt the company have cant see them getting out of it

If were really lucky might be able to purchase pub at sensible price and own the freehold that gives us great choice of either buying beer at sensible prices making the buisness profitable or get it delisted and sell to a developer making nice profit or if were unlucky get taken over by another no good money grabbing ****y company that just want to screw the arse off us but at least a takeover rumour should raise the sp my way of thinking ive worked 80 hours a week for years listening to bull**** off of one man and his dog so whats a few more months while these pubcos just talk crap to us about rents and barrelage figures the hour of reckoning is coming

not long left before the day of reckoning this company is finished

not long left now think ill sit tight buy the pub off administrators and build houses on car park and sail off into sunset seems brilliant plan

still here still serving pints is chiffa still alive

Hi babe happy xmas speak soon xx

Well who do they think will buy 2500 sh-t pubs as i guess they will keep the best ones still doesnt get bums on seats or money in till but i guess might play down the debt and eventually give investors a better chance of getting out iof this poxy company

like watching paint dry or waiting for funeral need to do some flirting or get ****ed

so where would that leave punch as a company and what effect on the SP

you obviously have a good knowledge of the industry from your previous posts when this time bomb goes off where do you think the future of the company lies ? think i might just sit tight and see who ends up being my landlord with an exit plan in sight regards Princess

After 15 years running their pub best my area manager can offer to save pub is advertise coffee & cake outside on a board ( really going to make a difference i think not ) FUC- - - G madness
