Barrowlands No more?

Last night I was watching enemy of the state, usual BBC cut into the news at 10 and movie will follow afterwards.

Decided I would have a snooze at this point, woke up mid story about the Barrowlands in Glasgow being demolished and luxury flats being built in its place.

My 1st reaction was god dam what a good venue that place is.  This leaves us with the Carling academy (Very echoy in there) SECC (crap sound) and the ABC (ok venue) along with the smaller clubs i.e. garage, barfly etc for up and coming bands.

Next reaction was why the hell would you want to live in a luxury apartment there anyway, across the road is where all the junkies go to get there meths, so your going to be surrounded by junkies not exactly luxury.

Now I am thinking I was dreaming as I cant find any information on the closure of the Barrowlands.

Here's hoping!

Have heard this before, if you look at the lane on the left side of the main entrace, theres flats there (right above where the markets are each weekend).

Right shitty place to live if you ask me, but then just down the road we have "Glasgow Harbour", 250k and a close up view of a shipyard, lovely.
