471.0. "Basingstoke arena" by KERNEL::WATTERSON (I wasn't pushed - I jumped) Tue Aug 13 1991 14:05

    
    It was announced on the radio at lunchtime that Basingstoke is to have
    an indoor arena (capacity 8000 I think) - work will begin early next
    year.
    
    They didn't say where it would go, but I presume it'll be in the
    leasure park area somewhere.

    see! do they have such an arena in Warrington Paul?!?,
    maybe next time you should think before you make all those hasty
    decisions!
    Just think what youll be missing when you leave!

    Dunno
    
    it's obviously not going to be any form of entertainment 
    - after all it is Basingstoke........ :-)
    
    (maybe they could hold the annual 'hole watching' championships there)

    Can they have concerts in it?
    
    Most of the 'cultured' peeps I used to know in Basingstoke were
    campaigning for a concert hall.
    
    re; roundabouts, yes but smaller!!!!
