<BODY lang=EN-GB vLink=blue link=blue bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is what I think we should do;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We need a press release detailing everything and
explaining our argument in clear, concise terminology. This needs to go to every
art and news organisation in the country, and a select few across the world. We
need to put all the information (the history of the idea, the competition
entries, arguments for and against, the council and owners point of view -
everything!) in the hands of the people. In these circumstances no-one will ever
side with the big company against the little artists and we are virtually
guaranteed public support. We need a dedicated website, an online petition
and for us all the contact our friends in the media who can push this
story.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The radio and the Telegraph were a good start guys,
well done - now we need to get you back on the front cover of the Guardian for
another story. I'm more than happy to go up to the site with you and shoot and
edit a little 5 minute promo that we can spread across youtube, myspace, blogs
etc that sets our argument out. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We really need to emphasise </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a) how much work by the public has gone into this
(and by that I mean exploit the stories of classrooms of kids sending in
entries, designs from abroad, public support etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b) how big organisations like Channel 4, the
Guardian and Antony Gormley are completely behind the idea. Oh, and someone get
the Arctics to help - nothing backs you up like a big name.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>c) how many</FONT> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>Sheffield organisations are behind it (just looking through this list of
email addresses I see so many names I recognise. If we all put our names,
bands, collectives and mailing lists behind the initiative we can hit thousands
upon thousands of people in one fell swoop). This needs to be the creative peeps
of Sheffield standing together.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>d) that regeneration doesn't just mean having more
nice new flats for students, it means improving the standing of a city and
self-respect of its population. This project would help do that. I'm haunted by
the idea that all the people on the M1 ever see is an old industry and
Meadowhall. Look what the Angel of the North did for Glasgow... we'd have people
visiting Sheffield just to see the towers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>e) that above all else this is a really good idea
that had real potential to happen, and it's being ruined by needless economic
greed and a complete inability to look towards the long term.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We also need to get posters into every news agents
in the county, this should be the no.1 talking point for everybody. Lets all
keep abreast of Sheffield Forums and make sure the subject stays at the top -
does anyone want to start a Towers-specific blog that keeps the world updated on
any developments? Calender News, Sandman, the BBC, Hallam FM, Exposed, the Star,
the Telegraph and all those other local publications don't just need to cover
the story, they need to be on our side. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whenever people ask me what Sheffield is like, I
tell them about Go and this incredible idea they had that was about to come to
fruition. They can't fail, and we need to give them all the support they
need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any more ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

anyone has a really radical idea, you know so blinking out there that no one

It’s another inevitable outcome. It’s another stitch up. A done deal. Just
like the Leadmill. Just like the E-Campus. Just like the Pop Centre. Just like
Matilda. It’s a fix I say. You see the establishment loves to see the little
men and women get excited about something, only to take it away and smash it
up. Death by slow bleeding. Except you don’t know your bleeding until your
dead.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

We should revel in our position of weakness. Our inability to do anything
expect watch and gasp. Talk about it in romantic terms of endearment, you know
like when you think of old friends, and days gone by. Reminisce about how
great they were, how wonderful those cooling towers were, how great it would
have been, if only….<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

They can take away the towers, but they can’t take away the idea of the
towers…. Once they have struck them down, they will become more stronger than
they ever were. You know like Obi-Wan Kenobi, only

We should leave <st1:place w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place>. Escape like rats
from a sinking ship. One mans heaven is another man’s hell, and this time the
balance is tipping the wrong way. Even if they kept the towers, turned them
into <st1:place w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place>’s “Angel of the North”, what
would be the outcome – gentrification, city living dickheads, rising costs,
crime, drugs, prostitution, seafront penthouses…<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

best thing that could ever happen is about to happen. They’ll take away the
towers, and we’ll be left with nothing… and everything… Wallowing, stricken,
smashed on the rocks - and out of the ashes a phoenix will rise. We don’t need
your poxy f-ing towers. Keep ‘em. Grind ‘em to dust. See if we really
care.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

stayed, and they were made into something wonderful, magical even,
imaginations unbound, words cannot explain… those corporate f***ers would come
along and claim them as their own. Sheffield’s on the map again, Sheffield’s
the UK’s most innovative city, the most creative city – fine, great,
wonderful, but you ask yourself – and you know who you are, you Town Hall
dwelling suits – what is it exactly that makes Sheffield all that and so much
more? Not the buildings, not the posh water features, or the fancy dancy MDF
high rise slums of the future wank that excuses itself for architecture these
days – no none of that. It’s one thing, and one thing alone - the
people.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hello everyone,<BR><BR>This is Go bothering you again
for your support and attention for just a few minutes. Nearly a year ago we
were going full whack to try and get the <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Cooling</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Towers</st1:PlaceType> in Tinsley, <st1:place
w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place>, to be part of Channel 4' s Big Art Project.
Thanks to you lot, we managed to get down to the final 6 winning sites and had
the chance to make the Cooling towers project a reality. There was only one
problem...Eon (the company that own Powergen). They own the towers, and the
land around them, and were not interested in supporting any kind of artwork on
the site. They announced that they were going to demolish the towers as they
were unsafe. <BR><BR>That was then. Now, after several months of site surveys,
negotiation and political goings on way above our heads, Eon have come to
their final decision. And surprise bloody surprise, they haven't budged an
inch. The towers are still meant to be coming down by the end of this year.
<BR><BR>Eon, clearly, are idiots. They have listed all the reasons why the
towers have to come down, but have failed to choose very valid ones. They
claim that the majority of <st1:place w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place> is in
favour of the towers being demolished. What they have overlooked, is that
their survey is of 500 people, with only half of that (250) favouring
demolition. If their maths is as good as ours, then they have forgotten the
fact that nearly 500 of you, including local councillors and Antony Gormley,
nominated the towers for the Big Art Project. In my book, that's a few more.
<BR><BR>They also claim that their plan will bring more jobs to the area. Oh
dear, they're wrong again. Will they never learn? Building a massive Toys R Us
or whatever they go for, will not usher <st1:place
w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place> into a Golden Age of economic happiness.
Whereas, potentially, an internationally acclaimed artwork, and new icon for
the city, might just attract a bit of attention and investment.
<BR><BR>Clearly, I should be mayor.<BR><BR>We wanted to tell you all this
because you are the ones who helped us get this far, and we couldn't have done
it without you. You deserve to find out like this rather than reading it in
the papers. <BR><BR>But we may need to call upon your good nature again at
some point soon. We're not willing to let some goon from an electricity
company tell us that <st1:place w:st="on">Sheffield</st1:place> is not worth
it. We're not willing to let someone without even the tiniest bit of vision
stop us after we've come this far. Without meaning to get all OTT and
melodramatic, this is war. <BR><BR>It's The People versus. Eon will wish
they'd never started on us. We're double hard and all that. The thing is, who
