Enjoying a drop of red.
I wonder if there'll still be the same smell of stale piss as there always was. Guess so if they haven't changed the carpets and seating.
I'll have a P please Bob.

They said in the article they'll look at refurbing it in the future, starting with screen one. So looks like the priority was to get it open at a basic standard, and generating money , that'll be reinvested in the place.

That’s not an extension you see very often these days.
No card payments is a bit odd. You don’t have to go with one of the old-hat, slow as hell crap from the usual companies as it’s now relatively easy to get hold of card readers from Square and other companies who will barely charge you any fees.
Good time to open really, given Avengers (a film that has had such a ridiculously big lead up it’s had 5 or so films in the MCU just to introduce different pieces of the puzzle for the plot line) is on and the nearest cinema would be a good half hour drive away if not more.

Very back to basics in there, minimal refreshments, no ads, there were trailers for future movies though. £7 a ticket, bottled water £1, can’t report on anything else cinema wise, enjoyed Deadpool 2 though! And, bonus, didn’t have to travel miles to see a movie, saved us another hour of babysitting so we managed a meal out too

As if that makes a difference, cinema drink and snack prices are crazy, just bring some in with you instead.

I saw Solo there this very day.
It's a good film - it's not as good as Rogue One, but they are big boots to fill - and it was definitely better to go into Town to watch a film than it was to drive to Uttoxeter.
It's definitely a cinema in Stafford, so it certainly has that going for it.
It might need a little bit more than that 'going forward'.
Perfectly acceptable Cinematic experience - would recommend if only because there were zero adverts before the Film kicked off.

Some people just know the pull and thrust of the academic year.
Just like my friend Dave, who knows the high & low tides off the coast of Dartmouth.
To some it matters, and it registers. To others it doesn't and it doesn't.
It remains a phenomenon regardless.
