Cobbo Posted 30 April 2005 Share Posted 30 April 2005 Our club manage to mess up again. Hurrah. http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~659567,00.html Music Festival PostponedThe inaugural Foxes Music Festival, scheduled for the Walkers Stadium in June, has today been postponed. Leicester City Football Club and the event producers reluctantly took the decision after being unable to secure additional days and acts for the festival. Status Quo had been lined up to kick off the event on Wednesday, June 1. And 24 hours later Lemar and Darius headlined a series of pop acts. Customers who have purchased tickets for the event can claim a full refund by contacting their point of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MON Posted 30 April 2005 Share Posted 30 April 2005 I could just see it happening. We could have attracted full gates with one asian concert. (Jay Sean, Raghav, some other random people.) and one concert with Kasabian (prices around £10), and then maybe go for a Hip Hop one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably sell out. Kasabian-if it can seel out in nottingham why not in Leicester Hip-Hop would most certainly sell out, but it would be difficult to get the artists. Better then Status Quo and Lemar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted 30 April 2005 Share Posted 30 April 2005 Personally this makes me :laugh: But from a business point of view, what a waste. I didn't really care who the bands were as I wasn't going but it would clearly have made some money for the club, instead we've probably just lost money on it instead, especially with all the advertising that has gone on about it.

Anish Posted 30 April 2005 Share Posted 30 April 2005 What a farce. Absolutely disgraceful marketing/planning/advertising by the so-called money men. This is an embarrassment to the club and has shown the public just what an incompetent bunch of fools run the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 30 April 2005 Share Posted 30 April 2005 Heard on the radio it's been postponed until next year at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hullfox Posted 1 May 2005 Share Posted 1 May 2005 Embarrasment to the club? what a complete load of bollocks. What about the fans who never make any noise or who chanted relentlessly for Trevor Benjamin when he was with us? They're the real disgrace to the club. This type of event (not to my own taste) has been a success in many other places and at least the club had a go. With the ground share put off for a while, this would have been an ideal opportunity to make some cash and actually see whether the extra income generated could have allowed us to go it alone at the Walkers. All businesses make marketing mistakes but the thing is, unless you try, you'll never know and if you don't make mistakes then you ain't trying hard enough. There would have been money spent but there will also have been contingencies in place with business partners to share that cost. Whatever the figure is, it is not likely to be anywhere near the equivalent of MDV's wages since he arrived and he's not exactly got the Leicestershire public enthralled has he?
