~~Fails WP:GNG; WP:BUILD. The only notability presented here is one local, one trade and and one national media clips, all related to its forthcoming demolition.~~ Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:40, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw nomination Happy to strike, thanks to all above. It's a bloody horrible building though... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:38, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexandermcnabb Yeah - it's a terrible design, though I miss using it a lot. I was amused that it caught fire on the very day back in March 2014 that Derby Council were forced to back down after I and my local Wildlife Trust initiated a Judicial Review for their attempt to destroy a designated Local Nature Reserve in the city that I had created, purely so that they could build an outdoor cycle track next to the velodrome/Arena. We joked that they set light to the Assembly Rooms car park deliberately in order to detract from their planning incompetence and illegal actions! LOL.
