Andy Preston on Facebook has been saying that there will be an announcement soon on the future of the ABC. I wonder what he knows?

Fresco's was just closing as I started to go out but what a place that wasTrebles for singles at bar fresco!
What year did you run nights at the Arena?Frescos was great for trebles, as was Madison 50p alcopops
When I ran nights at the arena we didn't open until 11, we'd go to jumpin jaks think it was £8 in all you can drink, until 10:30 I think? used to hammer about 7 million drinks then just before the time ran out we'd gather up empties, exchange them at the bar and walk out clinking into a taxi down to the arena
Don't know the specific dates but around 2001-2004What year did you run nights at the Arena?

Don't think it reopened until 2006 maybe 2005Don't know the specific dates but around 2001-2004
the arena? It 100% did. When I say I don't know specific dates I mean to the week. I ran a rock night there for years called Trashed after blaises closed, and had Dobson ran an indie night called needle damage. There was several other nights too, we had a short lived student night called kandy that we stopped because someone got glassed, and there was several DnB nightsDon't think it reopened until 2006
Arena was after walkabout on a Friday night! Take advantage of that 7am closing time.Didn’t tend to go to arena as much just because it was a bit of a PITA to get to.
Had a few good nights there though. Saw the arctic monkeys and the courteeners there!
Ah nice, I used to DJ / run nights there myself from around 2008 so wondered if we'd perhaps crossed pathsDon't know the specific dates but around 2001-2004
