| Phil Thompson, the owner of Regent Superbowl, told the BBC: "I got a call at 04:00 BST and came down here and could see the smoke. | |
| "I felt sick inside. After four years of back-breaking work to get it where it is. It's been the best season we've had. All the indoor units are full. I feel sorry for all the traders (in the indoor market), many who won't be insured." | |
| He said firefighters have told him there is "not a lot left of the building. It will have to be pulled down". |
