Possible new Pinball location in Birmingham

[Nickbs]

I came across this article from back in August when googling for some other info about Brum earlier:

Does anybody know anymore about it?

 

[steve brum]

walked through today on way to the shiney revamped new street station. some decorating going on but not much else. owner was hoping to open in October and will be pointed in this direction to promote his venture

 

[Andypuk]

I'll be heading there for sure when it opens - only down the road for me!

I heard they're going to have a decent selection of machines, could be good

 

[Andypuk]

They are saying that the opening of this place will be next Saturday (the 24th). No mention of what machines they will have in there yet though.

This is all I could find of official news from this place:-

I will do my roving reporter bit thought maybe some other local pinheads could pop along for a few beers? Keep you all posted

 

[Andypuk]

I'll be making a visit to take a look too @steve brum

 

[mufcmufc]

All decent stuff going in from what I heard, newer Sterns I think

 

[steve brum]

Walked past today on way to work. Ask for manager but only workpeople were in. Pins spotted SHREK SPIDERMAN KISS AVENGERS AND ADDAMS

Is it open then Steve?

 

[steve brum]

it is supposed to open tomorrow but the workpeople didn't seem to know. Looking at twitter there seems to be a delay but at least the pins are in place!

[Andypuk]

Delayed until next Saturday with a possible 'soft' opening (fnar, fnar) in the week. Pins look good!

 

[steve brum]

follows my adage of if you go for an "older" machine you cant go wrong with a TAF!

 

[steve brum]

According to twitter should be open Saturday. I will pop in some time late afternoon

 

[philpalmer]

Let me know when you've been.

 

[Paul]

I will see if i can get in there next week too

 

[Andypuk]

@steve brum I might see you in there as i should be heading up there on Sat PM also. I wonder if they have purchased these tables or if supplied from operators....

 

[philpalmer]

Supplied by me on a rental type basis....

 

[Andypuk]

@philpalmer Nice!!!

 

[philpalmer]

Will need someone down that way to maintain and repair if anyone fancies the "job".... I did it to promote pinball and cover my costs, I don't expect to retire from it!

 

[Paul R Owen]

Is it the Avengers from Premier Bowl?

 

[philpalmer]

Yes, i told them if they left it in the bar i was going to move it!

 

[steve brum]

Ill be there about 4pm as Saturday is my only free day nowadays. Happy for Jon and myself to help with minor repairs

 

[Paul R Owen]

Yes, i told them if they left it in the bar i was going to move it!

I agree - it looked pretty lonely there. I hope you are siting another one at Premierbowl though?

 

[philpalmer]

Sadly they will only put one in the bar area.... so no, if it could go in the main area of the bowl yes... but as it is, no :-(

 

[Paul R Owen]

I have just complained to them

 

[philpalmer]

I have other games I could put in the Bowl but only if they agree to put it in the main area. Lets start a picket line outside!!

Thought you had made your pinball millions and did all this for sh*ts and giggles now @philpalmer
