first decent post i've ever seen from you.
on a separate issue, I sincerely hope that someone from these forums who is attending the event actually stands up and praises the proposals. like has been said on here before, as the majority of people who are 'okay' with the plans won't bother to attend, i'd imagine that the crowd will be perhaps 10% for and 90% against. with the Chron successfully turning what was meant to be a positive story into a negative non-event, and the forum likely to turn into nothing but a platform for locals and the anti-brigade to have a moan, i'm sure that T4A will be well pleased that they've decided to invest huge amounts of their personal wealth in providing modern facilities for the fans.
it makes it all worthwhile......
(and no, i'll be on holiday before someone suggests that the person should be me).
