Gigs at the County Ground??

Foo Fighters at the CG???  Eff me, my best man wouldn't be able to control himself.  The two loves of his life, Swindon Town and the double eff!

Are we talking about our favourite neandethal man?

[janaage]

We are, you know his testis would explode in excitement if this ever went ahead, it'd be the end of the lad.  Grohl at the CG!!

I'm booked up already to see Foo Fighters at Wembley and Kylie at 02. Sods law it'll happen then! Oh well, can't wait for Bryan Adams.  :|

There won't be one this summer, Fitton stressed at the forum that preparing the pitch was very important, and the most important part of preparation was letting it recover over the summer.

[pauld]

can we get Kylie?

Not if Mex is involved, her security team wouldn't allow it  :shock:

[Simon Pieman]

Can we get the Kooks or the Sugababes please?

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

right, as i once shouted at sandy grey (and got banned for it) this is  actually something i know about. a sold out gig at the county ground with all the overheads and a proper promotion team you should be clearing near £100 grand profit, this will include a cut of the merchandise of the artist but this will not include food and drink served so you could easily clear another fifty grand with beverages.

they should fucking ask my company to do it. anyone fancy foo fighters or artic monkeys or anyone fucking half decent?

That would be fucking amazing Mex  

[Samdy Gray]

Mex, if your serious then I'd email Fitton or Wray and give them your details. If it's an earner for the club then they'd be silly not to consider it.

[Mexicano Rojo]

sorry chaps, we are already looking into doing stuff at the new falmer, its just too far and out of our area, however there are plenty of people in the west who can do this and im pretty sure Fitton would have looked into this, anyway to book a big act you need to be booking them 9-12 months in advance, so now is probably a good time to start looking for a company to get it together for next summer.

Dont diss the Sugababes were good last night!
pity the only other people at the concert were 10 year old girls and there mums (most of whom dressed like 10 year olds themselves)

[Ralphy]

Ice Cube please.

Richard,

Thanks for the e mail.

We have had little time to give thought to hosting concerts since taking over, in fact we are still trying to unravel the costs associated with the last couple of concerts both in terms of finances and damage to pitch.

However, I am sure in the future we will give it thought but ensure that we are better equipped to manage such an event in a professional manner.

Thank you for your interest.

Fair play to him for responding though and answering the question.

What with the ground share etc. on the cards, concerts etc. would be too much to consider right now.
