What'll be next for the Amex Multiplex?

There's is a decent size out of town size place near Bournemouth too.

Personally I have always found them abit well shit. Money & planning no issues I would go update Churchill Sq, continue it down to the seafront including a cinema then rebuild a new Brighton centre with room for a Basketball & Ice Hockey teams.

Would make a world of difference.

Chances of it happening in my lifetime? I'm 24 but the way this city rejects anything new would make it slim, also even more amazing we managed the Amex.

Velodrome.

Fair enough if it were just for club use. If its intended to attract major events, it would be a waste of money. The new one at Derby already looks like being a total white elephant. Newport can't attract any events and hasn't the cash to update. Manchester, Glasgow, London is plenty. Some would argue, Manchester on its own was plenty.

There is already a velodrome in Brighton, in Preston Park. :rolleyes:

Yes doug. I've been to the cricket ground, lots of times. And to M&S at Hedge End. And to sodding Botley. What's your point?

You're a moody sod today. You stated at the top of page 3 on this thread that there was no out of town retail park at Southampton when you had been through it to get to the cricket. That was my point. I know the area like the back of my hand and Botley and Hege End are next door to each other. Have a good day sir.

I know. But have you been to the Aegeas Bowl.

Latest news on the Cricket Ground, they are building the new stand with council money and the Company that's building it has gone bust. Incidentally there is an Hotel built just adjacent.

Because I'm bored, I'll humour you:

1. No. We've long since established that TCB was talking about a Bluewater style shopping centre, rather than a supermarket and a B&Q. Otherwise Brighton has an equivalent at Hollingbury and the entire discussion is pointless. I stated that there is no out of town shopping development, of the kind he referred to, on the edge of Southampton. There isn't.

2. If you suggest that I should drive through the Hedge End retail park to get to the cricket ground, then you really don't know the area like the back of your hand at all.

3. Botley and Hedge End indeed are nearby. Just like the Amex is near to Woodingdean. If I stated the Albion had built the stadium in Woodingdean, I'd be wrong. Just like you are.

Good day.

Fook off, club use, I ask you!!

It will be strictly for the use of NSC Cycling Geeks, nobody else, if that means it stands empty for 300 days a year so be it.

It did occur to me, instead of building a velodrome, we could just board round the inside of The Amex.
One massive velodrome.
Imagine riding up to the top of the boards of the WSU, fantastic.

I will not rest until this happens.

Good day to you too sir. Both are in Botley Road. I expect you forgot earlier, it's easily done. Hollingbury has very little retail.

What on earth has the name of the ROAD got to do with it? Is Preston Park in LONDON?

I'm out of this now. I love an argument, but this is the most tedious argument in NSC history.

I'm out too, no point discussing things with someone who is never wrong. Take care.
