Tubes Posted 14 February 2007 Share Posted 14 February 2007 will milan pay to have the stadium sorted out to have concerts held there? i cannot remember properly but they needed to change the stadium in some way to support it and the old board said there wasnt enough funds to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London_Fox Posted 14 February 2007 Share Posted 14 February 2007 I was under the impression it was to do with licensing laws (noise mostly). I'm sure he could sort it out if he felt it would make us money in the long term. It's one of the things that the club could be doing to increase revenue, not that many places in Leicester that can hold concerts (especially in the summer). If Watford can do it then i'm sure we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicfox Posted 14 February 2007 Share Posted 14 February 2007 Dunno if thats on his list of priorites but it would be excellent if it happened. Wouldn't the residents in the area complain about the noise though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the the last board, that wasn't their fault, as the building of the stadium was done by the board that took us into admin at the lowest cost possible.

Daggers Posted 14 February 2007 Share Posted 14 February 2007 I seem to remember this chestnut being discussed in depth at the end of the summer. Setting aside the cost of making changes to the stadium - the justifiable objections from nearby residents, the provision of outdoor events & the DMH coupled with the total lack of experienced professionals at the club to stage events such as this means it was, is and always will be a non-starter. Me for one, I see no point to putting on concerts in a football ground. How many each year do? A negligible amount. The whole idea is as credible as suggesting we host greyhound racing and demolition derbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Fox Posted 14 February 2007 Share Posted 14 February 2007 I was wondering whether the Stadium name will have a sponsorship re-branding shortly? Isn’t there a law that has been passed recently about advertisement of junk foods to children? Surely the club will have to scrap Walkers as the sponsor of Stadium under the new laws?

I dont care whether we get the WWE, UFC or local OAPs on the pitch as long as we earn a few quid out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
