The existing Arena has been a shithole for decades. Its tired, dated and as it was never designed acoustically for music, has always been renowned for its crap sound at gigs, unless you are front area centre.

Yet Cross link is fully supported from start to escalated price finish with no expense spared. As I said national disgrace.
