It can't be allowed to happen. The council should step in and make an offer!! Afflecks has been a serious people puller for many years and always changes its style with the mood and era. An amzing hotchpotch of weird and wonderful. Get onto the council and tell them to purchase it.

Paul Kearns said 02/24/07, 4:22 pm (verified)
We cann't let them close afflecks palace. If they do there will be no where to buy unique stuff. No unique clothes, no unique jewelry. no nothing just the same faceless shops selling the same stuff as everywhere else. And Machester will become just another faceless city!!

You cant do that its wrong! Without aphlex palace manchester wont have its alternative culture anymore. We already lost the coliseum and i loved it there and many other smaller shops followed it away. Manchester will just become like every other boring city. Its one of the few pleasures we have around here, it might not be perfect but its far better than some crappy overpriced flats thats chavs are going to vandalise anyway. Dont close the place down the people there are amazing.

There are enough bland, nothing to write home about flats in the city centre. To rid Manchester of a famous major iconic shopping outlet is frankly, a disgrace. It is the birth place of many trendsetting fashions and draws in many customers from outside the area. Remember, the city centre is first and foremost a commercial outlet, the suburbs are for living in. City centre residential projects are all well and good, providing they don't come at the expense of icons like this. And no, offices in this building wouldn't be justifiable either. There is a difference between greed and moral decisions. Manchester would become a far worse off place without this icon and it's closure would affect tens of thousands of customers and cost the city many visitors to a degree too. All for the greed of one deal for a company putting £ signs before the benefit of the community.

KEEP AFFLECKS OPEN - there are enough flats and shops in Manchester to keep the people going - a lot of people for YEARS have been shopping at Afflecks! It has it regulars, its newcomers and its tourists - one of the only places alternative people get to shop these days, there are also shops in Afflecks beent rading for as long as I can remember - fair on them to keep upping the rent cos the owners have decided they want EVEN more cash to add to their back pocket..sod off! SUPPORT AFFLECKS, KEEP IT OPEN!!
