I don't think Spillers will be going anywhere for a while. I think the people that control the rent have eased off a little bit as a result of the petition but I guess they will hike the rent up eventually. I wouldn't have thought it would close much before that whole area is redeveloped and that's not due until 2008. It will be utterly, utterly hideous from the look of the plans. I was up in cineworld the other day trying to get a good look at the demolished buildings and it struck me that it would be really ace if the just flattened that whole area and made a huge square like some sort of grand old European city. Instead it will be a shiny shit glass nightmare.
