I thought the Adver were hinting at around 10,000 for the whole weekend so far, not that shabby considering the way it was handled originally and the real lack of publicity it has been given.

Looks like they have sold about 4,500 for the whole weekend so far.

I know nothing really about the MyWorld concept but as far as the gigs are concerned they must be a success as there is a guaranteed £150,000 income for one weekend!  Whether this is the only weekend it is held only time will tell, but I would have thought that sort of income in an off-season weekend is pretty damn good!

I think it's a guaranteed 300k. 150k per gig.

Yup, can't judge the MyWorld concept yet as don't know enough about it, but the gigs don't seem to be a huge success so far judging by ticket sales
Depends how you define success,it has already made more money than the Elton John concert

To me it depends if the promoter has made enough money to try it again next year. That's not to say a one off 300K is to be sniffed at, but a regular extra 300K would be great.

Sorry, I read that as per gig not the whole weekend!

My point was more that if these aren't a success (and the ticket sales would suggest they aren't) would they happen again? And if not, what would make up for that shortfall in revenue? It's something I'd like raised tonight, annoyingly I'm not going to be there.

I still think there's potential for concerts to be successful...but these don't tend to be very well promoted.

Been very little promotion/advertisement of the concerts... I thought there would be posters plastered all over town ect
Though 300k is decent cash even if nobody turns up - 4.5k isn't a great turnout for the whole weekend, but that'd surely only increase year on year with greater credibility and more professional promotion?

Why are we sending the squad to Portugal for pre-season training camp when we are trying to reduce our put-goings? Seems a totally unnecessary expense!

If you referring to the Portugal trip then I think it is a fair question.

Most of fitness work will be done,  and if its just for a couple of games we could have got those here. 

Not like there isnt any hot baking sun on offer here is it

Could be beneficial for a bit of bonding with the new manager, if we have one by then.

If there is no new manager in place it seems utterly pointless to me.

I'd be hoping that a new manager is in place as soon as physically possible to get as much pre-season work under the belt.

Wouldn't surprise me if we already have something in the pipeline, we didn't hang around with KMac if memory serves?

The team have no manager,they are better off being away from the spotlight and listening to the negativity that is around at the moment. They are young players in a new team. I think it could do them the world of good at this time
