Foxes_Trust Posted 5 May 2006 Posted 5 May 2006 so for those taking part this Sunday, look at your groupings.... http://www.foxestrust.com/html/modules.php...article&sid=599 So are you knees knocking or are you thumping the air with celebrations with your draw (which ever, put that pint down first ...)
Benji Posted 5 May 2006 Posted 5 May 2006 we've got team bothered and them pro emo people who had someone post on here in the other thread so group 3 will be a foxestalk meet!
stez Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 we're gonna kick some wizard ass (and the other two). If we can be arsed
The People's Hero Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 Foxestrust... can you ask the club - Why do other clubs in the area get decent bands and we couldn't even go through with the Status Quo thing? Even places like Coventry, which I'm sure you will agree is a sh it hole, get decent names. We get these international friendlies, for which I suppose we should be grateful, but why not live music. As far as I understand it, this was the intention, we have the license, it's a potential revenue stream.. what's the hold up?

Probably incapable of organising it without the help of the Tigers, the reason for the merger, so no merger no bands
The People's Hero Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 They've got the license, how difficult can it be? It's a wonder football matches ever take place there. Shambolic.

As far as I understand it, this was the intention, we have the license, it's a potential revenue stream.. what's the hold up? The hold up is the fact that we cut costs!!! when they built the stadium they used the wrong steel or something stupid and therefore we only have a license for 15000 people which to be honest is shit!!! 15000 is no bigger than Nottingham Arena and smaller than the NEC so as a venue for outdoor festivals it just can't compete!! we are never going to get any big bands to play it's just to small

What a fu cking shambles. The club really does amaze me at some point. COVENTRY are getting big names. COVENTRY.
davieG Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 When I queried that this is the reply I got: From Peter Jones The Walkers Stadium meets the current safety requirements as a sporting venue. It is tested annually. However Rock Concerts introduce a different crowd movement and trends. Legislative requirements stipulate that the dynamic frequency must be to a higher specification. If Rock Concerts are staged at The Walkers Stadium the necessary requirements will be met. I'm not sure what the last sentence means, as in we can cope with big crowds or we will mwwt the requirements by having smaller crowds. I suspect the last, so not much use that reply was it?
The People's Hero Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 I find this all to be pretty pathetic I'm afraid.
davieG Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 I find this all to be pretty pathetic I'm afraid. Don't be afraid because it's totally pathetic, if they ran a piss up in a brewery they'd run out of beer.
The People's Hero Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 Does this club ever do anything which isn't entirely half-baked, poorly planned or at best naive? A little bit of prior reseach might have prevented this shambles. I know it's not a big thing but seriously...
Foxes_Trust Posted 6 May 2006 Author Posted 6 May 2006 The initial problems here rest with those that ran the club that took us into administration, as Jay stated a cut back in material costs mean currently we can only hold a pop concert for a vastly reduced audience, below the 15k Jay mentioned. Work could be done to increase the capacity at a cost, but the stage would be at one end of the ground, so the maximum capacity would be early 20,000's anyway. The concerts clubs have put on themselves are not making money & therefore hopefully our club having learnt from the aborted pop concert where Mace made a right pigs ear of promoting (or not promoting through the right media channels - no not the Mercury), will now only act as a venue & let a professional promoter do the rest. The potential profit from this is less, a venue fee, but so is any exposure to losses. Once we have had several successful promoter ran concerts & therefore the venue is established, then we could look at promoting ourselves. That all said, we don't believe there are any plans to move forward on this at present, remembering it is not proving a major money spinner for other clubs. Anyway what's this all got to do with 5 a side group line ups... they aren't pop groups you know, although if team players want to sign their colleagues on it will add to the atmosphere.....
Durnerz Posted 6 May 2006 Posted 6 May 2006 We've got last years champions! And the Galactico's which I scored twice against a couple of years back. Will be an interesting group.
