With regards to the bit on season ticket sales being at 9200 and AP thinks it would be good to get to 12,000, Havent they not gone on general sale yet? isnt it the 1st they do?
The Escalator thing was true up until a couple of years ago when they built Cineworld now we have 3!!! and yes sadly it was a bit of an attraction its in BHS not so sure about people where scared to ride it and i think it was later than 80s that it open it was more the 90s !
If you havent seen Vesta in Southampton and the Isle of Wight is relocating but it seems someone has a better idea:

Your right there and ventnor you have to be careful where ya sister is your mother and all that but the rest of the island is quite normal, if not a little behind the times - Churchill is still leading the country right?:confused:
