The demise of the FLGS

Is the end coming for our Friendly Local Game Stores? I heard yesterday that 4th Dimension in Dublin is closing down - if they can't make a go of it with such a relatively large customer base is there any real hope for the few stores across the rest of the country?

As I understand it, the reason for 4th D shutting down isn't related to them not doing well enough, more to do with the fact that 3rd place are moving away, and possible some other factors. Don't beleive they had a problem with sustaining the business.

Hmmm, well that's certainly be good news. Where is the 3rd Place moving to? Will they be stocking any of 4th dimension's stuff?
