Shame. It’s going to happen to an awful lot of businesses.
Birmingham Hippodrome are on the brink of closing.
Even if social distancing reduces to 1 metre it’s still going to be so hard for certain things to survive.
Live music, theatre, cinema, pubs, clubs, amusement parks. Seems to be all the things we love to do in our spare time.

Shame, 2007 and 2008 UK Pinball shows held there, like Alan says great memories.

If l recall the venue got greedy so the pinball show had to move on. Same thing happened with Villa Park .

Living in Kettering I worked there for a year as a summer job and have fond memories of the place. Shame to hear this.
