FANTASTIC NEWS! THE DOME IS SAVED - 22/01/08
At a meeting today Lancaster City Council Cabinet members voted NOT to close XWA’s home venue - The Morecambe Dome.
The council agreed to continue to keep The Dome open until such time as the site is required for development by award-winning designers Urban Splash, not expected to be for at least four years.
This is, of course, fantastic news for the XWA, Morecambe and for British wrestling as a whole.
It means the XWA does not have to move or cancel any of our scheduled shows for 2008 and we can press ahead with our plans to continue to bring high quality professional wrestling to The Dome for at least FOUR MORE YEARS!
We would like to thank everyone who supported our fight to save the Morecambe Dome. Our special thanks go to the fans and wrestlers of the XWA who made phone calls and sent us messages of support this week, and the over 500 people who joined the on-line MySpace and Facebook petitions to Save The Dome. Your support undoubtedly had an impact on the decision, as the politicians knew about the petitions and took the public’s overwhelming opinion into account.
I would also like to thank the cabinet members of Lancaster City Council for making the right decision for the future of Morecambe.
The XWA now intends to turn our Goldrush show on Saturday, February 2 not into a wake for the Morecambe Dome, as first was feared, but into a celebration of the fact that British Wrestling's number one venue is to carry on for at least Four More Years!
And finally, we would like to invite all XWA fans to join our celebrations on Saturday February 2 when XWA presents Goldrush 2008 – It’s Time To Rumble at the much-loved venue that is undoubtedly British Wrestling's Home, YOUR Morecambe Dome!
See you then!
