That first day is a nightmare. Just awful. The second day is pretty inoffensive. They should do a proper 90s revival starring Let Loose, Alicia's Attic, The Lightning Seeds and Space

The Mrs went to Big reunion at the BIC, she said the place was absolutely full.
Hopefully it makes the club a decent bit of money, as well as making a bit of money for Swindon as a whole.
That place holds 6,500 people. Wonder how many these will sell. Fair play to the board for doing what they promised. Maybe Callum Rice isn't such a useless teapot after all. |

That first day is a nightmare. Just awful.
It will probably appeal greatly to a certain sizable proportion of the towns population though. That 2nd day is a great shout from the Board, this reunion stuff seems pretty massive at the moment. |

We've certainly got enough gobby little chavs in Swindon to make Day 1 a sell out and a place to avoid like the fucking plague. Will they have to buy a spate seat for their pitbulls / rottweilers etc. .
I won't be going to either but hope they are a success.

It could be Chas and Dave for all I care, just as long as it's a success.
According to Jed the money is guaranteed anyway but if it works, it could be a nice little boost to the coffers each year.

Hopefully the money is directly invested in the club. That'd be the real marker of whether the gigs are a success for the club or not really, no point in a load of profit that we never see.

Is there any mention of exactly how much each gig will pocket the club Jeds Lucifer like pockets of Hell. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

1.8M ish. Sounds a lot to me, but then I wouldn't know about this stuff. |

That does sound a lot, if the fee is put aside for the running of the club then thats a great deal.
Worth more than the impending sale of Charlie Austin in sell on clauses to us.

Wasn't that figure the total for all of the gigs. Didn't they initially state that it was a series of 6, (can't remember if that was 6 weekends or 6 gigs). If that were the case, it would make the £1.8m estimate far more believable. Based on those figures, at the worst they should make £300k out of that weekend. |

Absolutely. As terrible as the 'music' will be, I couldn't care less as long as it sells out. Just glad I won't be able to hear it |
