“Good on you, it'd be nice to see the imp actually bing used and enjoyed.
Slightly surprised how people can judge it before it's even open though. I know it's been in many hands in the past but give it a chance...think positive...This attitude might be just what the imp needs. I've lived a few doors down from the Imp for years and when I moved in many people said I was an idiot for moving close to the imp but I have to say it is very rare you see trouble from the place.Children s far as I'm aware have not been allowed in, there's a shelterd extension for families who wish to take their kids.
I have had more trouble from the little chavs who insist on egging windows and shouting abuse.
Good Luck Mr Wright (and sort the drais out hehe)”

“good luck to you both indeed yes it will be a challenge .as u have the pub accross the road about 1.70 a pint .shame your landlords couldnt allow you to at least match the price.that is a problem .but all the best”

“Blimey! Why cant people be pleased that someone wants to take over the pub. I would rather that than see it boarded up or levelled. I was a landlord for 15 odd years and I know exactly what Ian and Emma is facing. I want to say good luck to the pair of you.
Lets be positive about Grimsby for once.”

“Referring to comments.. yes I have been in the Imp, and I have seen the place decline over 45 years.. so I do actually have a foundation for my comments. I remember the off licence there and the atmosphere after and before matches etc. There are NO similarities between the then and the now. George.. you stand in defence of the 'nicest people', could that be that you have a blasted great big pair of rose tinted glasses on ? or is it a pair of beer goggles ?

Level it.”

“any jobs??”
