Spend public money on an ice rink ??
Those fine city elders have already provided the good folks of Southampton with the maritime museum they were crying out for ā¦ and now they demand an ice rink !!!
Donāt worry an ice rink anywhere is as likely as Saints groundsharing with the fishy few.
I think itās a joke as itās been rumoured for years and yearsā¦
I know Cherts ā¦ I remember the old one closing and the endless broken promses since.
Should work for everyone now ā¦ doesnāt feel quite as amusing to me now Iāve fucked about for an hour, trying to upload it !!!
Bit dejavu. Havenāt we had a thread where we moan about how rubbish Southampton is?
Litlle bit. Either that or youāre a wise sage with latent powers of precognition.
But probably the former.
Well it is shite, historic pubs? No, bombed a lot in the war? A fair bit but no more than many others, shite 60ās buildings? A shitload. Waterfront? Nothing to write home about. Classy hotels and restaurants? Well we have a nandos and a premier inn. Dance the night away? We have Jumpin Jaks. Shopping? We are proud of our City centre Ikea.
Southampton is a place for study and closing your door after a hard days graftā¦

Starting to understand why you donāt like the place.
What kind of clubs are you looking for Bazza?

Why would you write to your home city about things it is already well aware of?
Couldnāt you just contact the council?
At 41 nothing now but what is there for the young ones? Sterns, Manor or Joannas? Oh they arenāt or werenāt in town, no Cream or Gatecrasher nor Bigg Market or Printworksā¦

You do realise Southampton has one of the best house music scenes in the country, donāt you?
Look up Orange Rooms, Junk, Switch and High Tide, look at the DJās that perform regularly (James Zabiela, Alan Fitzpatrick, Tom Budden, Gary Benetton - all Southampton lads) and youāll see how wrong you are.
I tried that and they canāt move water, I did say lets not build more flats and build something of sunstance like a themed brothel, an ice rink or even a tourist attraction to get the punters in, they said they thinking of putting in some retail space in with some rabbit hutch flats with an absolute shit view for an exorbitant price.

No I didnāt realise that as is it actually true? Local djās who may be talented performing at local parochial club shocker.
And Iāll add charging to get in is fucking so 20 years ago.
Tom Budden and Gary Bennetton are part of the High Tide crew (which also includes Steve Nights, who run the clubs (Orange, Junk and Switch) and also run the Warehouse Parties, Boat Parties etc. Former High Tide Boat Party DJās include Sasha, Carl Cox, Nick Fanciulli, Eats Everything, John Digweed.
Before you criticise stuff, make sure you know what your talking about, yeah?
Thats lovely it doesnāt distract the scene from being crap does it? Weāve never had a superclub nor a culture of even wanting one, we canāt even get a fucking icerink, I used to have to go to Martines for a late night bevy as New Yorks got that full, and the London road places are initmate and I am using estate agent speak when they really are fucking tiny.
Brighton, Bournemouth and the island in thick blood WERE always better and I understand bar the skates they still are for a night out. We still charge,offer shite beer and probably still have dress codes (now I am guessing there).
It seems youāre guessing at everything.
The point is itās not crap. The sceneās good. It may have been shut in your day, but I expect a city with that much Barry Sanchez is always going to be shit.
If you want big club, itās got the biggest Oceana in the country. Shit music but so was New Yorkās and you used to try to get in there. It seems that youāre judging the scene on what it was like 20 years ago.
