Meadowbank Stadium to be demolished
Feb. 28th, 2007 09:11 pmIn case you haven't heard Edinburgh Council has decided to demolish Meadowbank Stadium with all its wonderful facilities to make way for more overpriced crappy flats (probably).
On the positive side they will be replacing it with a new sports facility out at Sighthill! Who in their right mind would want to park there or even go there late at night?
No stadium, no gym, no squash/badminton courts, no velodrome (the city's only one), no 5-a-side football pitches, no classes, no running track . . . no Meadowbank's Open All Hours youth-club to keep the brats out of trouble . . .
No more gigs for bands too big for the Corn Exchange but too small for Murrayfield (Radiohead, the Pixies, Muse etc.) No fireworks display at a reasonable time and on one night only.
The save Meadowbank website is here and the petition to the PM is here.
Edinburgh Coucil have been added to my hate list.
Feel free to post something similar in Edinburgers.
