Hello, back by popular demand... ahem. Anyway, thought
you'd all like to see the attendance figures for York
Hall from 13 May - 12 August. That's 121 days.
Total number of people who attended: 4120
Sound a lot to you? Sounds disastrous to me. That
works out at just 34 people a day! Have the council
and GLL spent over a million pounds and pissed off its
former clientele for the sake of 34 people a day?
What's more, their income was only about £50k for
those 3 months (1512 of those 4120 who visited the
lovely aroma spa were concessionary use). Please
remember that before the council brought in the luxury
hotel decorators, York Hall baths were bringing in
about 1000 people A WEEK! (That's from the official
figures and doesn't include all those taxi drivers who
used to sneak in without paying...).
The management is probably hoping that the winter will
bring in the punters but it's just as likely that
numbers have peaked - boosted by the curious and the
incredulous.
I shall of course be writing to the guys who thought
up this crackpot scheme to turn the place into a
ponced up beauty salon and ask them if they would like
to consider their positions. Stay tuned.
Paul
