Oh my golly gosh! Why must people ruin things when things are so good. Afflecks is one of the best and only places of its kind in the north west to shut it down would be ridiculous man! Build houses some place else. Afflecks is one of the best places and it makes you feel at home it has a rural edge to it which just makes you fit in come on ive seen loadsa different people in there from teenagers to pensioners. come on see sense and leave afflecks alone. AFFLECKS TO STAY OPEN

why do people insist on shuting down things which make the north what it is? they did it to quiggins in liverpool and now this?! its just silly, people are too money driven - cant the owners see its an intergral part of the community?

leave Afflecks alone..! But hey everyone, don't slag off the apartments in the city. it's the buildings, new and old, the visitors and the residents of the city that make it what it is today. Without the residents, the place would close down!! don't comment if you know nothing about the subject!!

Without a doubt afflecks was solely responsible for all the hideous creations I chose to adorn myself with during the ages of 11 to 15. Having the opportunity to experiment with fashion at an early age hastened the realization that I looked a bloody state. Without afflecks I would not only still be a walking wardrobe malfunction but also wouldn’t have the opportunity to piss myself on a regular basis whilst looking at old photos. Keep the kids in bad taste – KEEP THE PALACE OPEN.

No Afflecks = no chance to ever go there. we're all out to make money but don't be daft about it, theres somethings you can't afford to loose

Kate said 03/08/07, 12:21 pm (verified)
I second Helen's comment, it goes to show how horribly corrupt the City Council are. A massive Casino instead of Afflecks? I fear that they're putting their eggs into the wrong basket & they'll go the way of Blackpool in 10 years time if they keep this stupidity up. Afflecks IS Manchester and WAS my teenage years. So many people love the Northern Quarter for a reason!

Afflecks needs to stay. its so unique and unusual... amazing place to fill everyones needs. Closing will lose part of Manchesters soul... and just give more money to high street stores so everyone is walking around in the same stuff.

Afflecks palace is a cultural mecca, people from different cultures and with different interests meet and bond. To tear it down to create more generic flats in the city centre would be a shame. Manchester needs to keep it's heritedge and not festroy it to become another london. We are who we are and people love us for it.
