Rileys represents one of the few venues in Manchester where drinking is not the sole activity. The council and government wish to discourage irresponsible drinking, but if all city centre establishments simply act as host to drinking alone, irresponsible drinking is exactly what is encouraged, as no other reason for social gathering/meeting is promoted, for example the enjoyment of a sport or hobby. Please support other city centre activities other than solely drinking.

It may seem dramatic but I'm convinced that a centrally located Rileys club slightly raises the immediate appeal of a city to a very sizeable demographic (anyone who enjoys playing pool/snooker/table football, or even just enjoys the unique atmosphere found in Rileys venues).

If indeed the landlord would rather change the premises for a different use at least allow Rileys good and proper time to find new premises.
In a climate of such financial depression, how can Manchester City Council deem it right to shut down a well used premise, virtually giving permission for such businesses to be chased out of town.

Members are well looked after and put a fair amount of money into the company. It is a place in manchester that I love to visit, and taking it a way from its members is a serious disappointment. I do hope, if at all possible, weighted minds are changed.
