The voices in my head
I was always against this arena complex being built over the Kings Dock - the best place for it is across the dock on the land side of Queens Dock. The optimist in me said it may end up a real nice complex though when completed. I walked around there recently and my original view has been re-inforced. It looks out of place, the wrong colour and just tatty. It does not not compliment the red brick Albert Dock Buildings next to it. In time when weathered it is going to look dire. And they turned down Brunswick Quay Tower which was stainless clad!!!!!
Yes there is a multi-floor car park on the edge of the dock too - to compliment the one on the quay at Princes Dock. Duh!!!! It doesn't give hope for a stable, pleasant environment, high quality future.
Many people in the council need sacking for all this.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

morning waterways. I too think that our long awaited for it arena has ended up a penny pinching mess. It doesn,t stand as a good example of modern , well built expectations of many a Liverpolitan at all.
Mind you I do think it is a perfect example of the kind of tat that is being put up throughout the country.
Isn,t it funny how nearly everything is under costed and ends up a flippin, let down.

Oct 5 2007 by Alan Weston, Liverpool Daily Post
THE UK’s most popular classical music show is coming to Liverpool.
Classical Spectacular will feature the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, with the Muskets and Cannons of the Moscow Militia joining the ensemble.
The show takes place at the Liverpool Echo Arena at 7.30pm on Saturday, April 19.
i read the other day there is an 80s comeback concert featuring ABC, Bananarama and Rick Astleyamongst others booked in for next summer
It wouldn't be a disaster if it was to come here next year,they always show the cities taking part in a good light I think,couldn't handle all of the wannabes on a personal level though.It has X Factor 2008 all over it .
