THE Friends of Southampton Sports Centre will hold their first general meeting tonight.

The community group’s event will take place at The View Bar and Bistro at the sports centre at 7pm and anyone is welcome to attend.

They will review the past year and look at the future of the ground, including proposals by the managing director of Active Nation, which operates the site, to sell off “parcels of land” to fund improvement of sports facilities.

That was rejected by the group, while council leader Simon Letts said there are currently “no plans” to build on the site.
