A POPULAR cinema chain is set to shutter three sites for good in just days – and more will follow.
Film fans were devastated to hear their local movie theatres were waving goodbye permanently on October 6.
Several Cineworld sites will be axed[/caption]
It comes as Cineworld made the tough decision to axe their branches in Glasgow, Bedford, and Swindon.
Meanwhile, other locations in Bedford, Loughborough, and Yate are also set to close in a matter of weeks.
The sites will shut for good on these exact dates:
Glasgow Parkhead (closing October 6)
Bedford (closing October 6)
Swindon Regent Circus (closing October 6)
Loughborough (closing October 13)
Yate (closing October 13)
It forms part of a major restructuring plan to help the company survive mid troubling times.
A judge recently gave the green light for £16million to be pumped into Cineworld’s four companies which form the business.
The cash came from the business’s parent company, with an extra £35million to also be made available.
Its four companies. Cine-UK Ltd, Cineworld Cinemas Ltd, Cineworld Cinema Properties Ltd and Cineworld Estates Ltd, will also negotiate leases for each of their 101 sites across the UK.
It comes as the chain is also said to be renegotiating rent agreements for around 50 of its sites.
But, 25 cinemas are set to be unscathed by the restructuring plans and will remain open for the foreseeable future.
A spokesperson for the chain said the plan would enable the business for “the long-term and ensure a sustainable future for Cineworld in the UK.”
However, news of the five closures has devasted locals in the affected areas.
One cinema-goer in Glasgow Parkhead, where Cineworld is set to close on October 6, described the move as “brutal”.
While another said: “I’ve got so many childhood memories of Parkhead Cineworld! Such a major loss.”
It shared the plans in its full year results, saying it planned to convert 112 restaurants into hotel extensions while closing 126 “loss-making” venues.

18 hours agoWorld LeaksComments Off on Premier League’s newly promoted clubs must forget about style and play to win – only Ipswich seem to have a chance
THE state of this season’s new boys in the Premier League is alarming.
For the first time in 20 years, the three promoted teams — Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester — haven’t won in their opening six league games.
Back in 2004-05, it happened to Norwich, West Brom and Crystal Palace. Only the Baggies survived.
And before Everton beat Palace last weekend, there were six teams down the bottom who hadn’t tasted victory in their opening five games — the first time that has happened in top-flight history.
The longer you go without winning, that’s when pure panic kicks in.
You start questioning yourself. Are we actually any good? Are some of my team-mates over the hill?
Trust me, I have been there with Watford. In 2019-20, we didn’t pick up our first win until matchday 12 — losing six and drawing five before finally beating Norwich 2-0 in early November.
We would eventually be relegated.
And the worst part by far is, when you finally get that first win, you race back to the dressing room, look at the league table, and you’re still in the drop zone and miles off the pace.
It is so demoralising and your body just drops. Then the rumblings start amongst the squad, players speaking with their agents, talk of whether the manager is up to it. His tactical plans begin to get ignored on the pitch.
It spirals. That is why getting on a winning run is vital.
By the law of averages, you’re bound to win at some point, but you need the right mindset.
There are those who will say this season’s table is a bit misleading right now.
On the one hand, Ipswich in 15th have only lost twice, drawing four while Leicester in 17th have drawn three and lost three, but then there is Southampton in 19th — lost five, drawn one, and look hopeless.
So, is the gap between them and the top half of the league too great? Are they just not good enough? Are they being too brave? Or perhaps not brave enough and content with draws?
To be honest, it is a bit of everything.
That gap between the Championship and the Prem is growing by the second and these promoted teams are trying to play like the big boys too often when they don’t have the quality or experience to do so.
Why on earth would you try and beat the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool at their own game when not even some top sides in Europe can do that? It’s madness.
Physicality and resilience plays a huge part and this trio are really lacking in it.
Just look at Leicester’s 4-2 defeat at Arsenal last Saturday. It was one of the worst Premier League performances I have seen in a long time, and they are somehow still reliant on a 37-year-old Jamie Vardy.
Vardy is always going to be a legend of the club and he still runs his arse off and will nick a few goals. But asking him to hold it up against William Saliba and Gabriel? Come on.
The one and only time Vardy ran the channel, he won a foul and Leicester got a goal from a free-kick but he didn’t try that again for the rest of the game. Why?
And then in their midfield they have Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp. I think I could run past them even now.
When Southampton go to Arsenal on Saturday, I can guarantee Aaron Ramsdale will try to play out from the back from minute one and I expect them to lose badly. Maybe by six or seven.
At least Ipswich look like they have some goals in them and Kieran McKenna has admitted he won’t stick to one way of playing. Out of the three, they have a chance of staying up.
But why does it take these teams, and their managers, so long to clock that the Prem is a different ball game entirely?
Forget style of play – how about we play to win?
Why is the relentlessness and the ruthlessness of the Prem still massively underrated by anybody outside of it? It is not exactly this big secret designed to surprise you.
I remember running over people in the Championship with Watford and then thinking: “I’m a f***ing beast,” and then I walked into the Prem and I thought: “F**k me.”
The reason my Watford group stayed in the top-flight from 2015 to 2020 was because we had a squad full of players who knew the game, knew their jobs and got on with it.
But ultimately, whatever happens, as long as you’re in touch of survival come March, you are in with a chance, however slim.

A UNIVERSITY’S student union bar has left its hell-raising days behind to go alcohol-free.
It has replaced booze with smoothies, milkshakes, bubble tea and hot drinks.
The University of Bradford’s old Student Central bar — the longest in the country — has been ripped out and replaced with a café.
Gobsmacked ex-student and rugby nut Neil Leamon told The Sun yesterday: “My uni days were pretty hazy . . . downing countless pints and necking shots after rugby games. It’s a very different student experience today.”
A university spokesman said it “acted on what students wanted in order to be more inclusive”.
The Islamic Society, and an imam at the local mosque, were involved in discussions over removing alcohol from the bar, according to local reports.
Aleem Bashir, chief executive of the university’s Union of Students, said another bar would serve alcohol.
He added: “A lot of students now have part-time jobs, some may have multiple jobs.
“When you have to wake up early in the morning for a shift, you can’t be going in there hungover.”

They then plugged the toaster and tea set, designed to tie-in with the album artwork.
Chris, 47, joked: “That is vastly more important than the album.
“Because we’re older now, we’re moving into crockery and Tupperware.
“The music is really just serving our kitchen line now.”
The group — whose hits include Fix You, and Viva la Vida — took calls from customers including Candy from Florida who said she had missed one of their concerts in 2008 because her dad died.
Improvising a song for her, Chris sang: “I’m sorry we missed you back in 2008, but some things are better when you’re forced to wait.”
Host Jennifer Coffey said 31,000 people were shopping for Coldplay’s album through QVC within ten minutes of their appearance.
However, the only review the band got on the QVC website was not glowing.
The user, SLB, gave them one star and wrote: “I love Coldplay but this was ridiculous.”
