Well after months and months of doing everything we could to do the save the Tameside Hippodrome which closed down at the begining of the year we were told that all hope had gone and the 1400 seater would be torn down in the next 6-8 weeks. Of course we were crushed but didnt stop. We contacted the people who list bulidings hoping they would step in, but we heard nothing,untill the 11th hour. They building has now been listed Grade 2 so it will be much harder to demolish.
There is still a lot of work to do to see if we can get the crappy Tameside council to put the money in to this building to reopen it, but whilst its still standing thats good enough for me.
Now attention also turns to stopping the plans to turn one of the most succesful theatres outside of London, the Manchester Palace Theatre from been turned in to an Opera House, something people in Manchester do not want but the council seem to be deaf to listening to that. A second proposal has now been submitted and looks like it could happen. Why they would want to turn one of the best loved theatres in to an Opera House is beyone me.
Bring on the fight!!!
