The Co-op Live Arena

[ancoats]

The headline on the MEN article is misleading, the shows have been pushed back to next week rather than cancelled. Seemingly the arena isn't ready.

Peter Kay the gig that never gigged ?

Seems the test event has found some faults.

VAR not working.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Postponed not cancelled. Personally prefer Phoenix Nights and Max & Paddy to his sentimental stand up.

I'm hearing the black keys on Saturday has also been cancelled, I know quite a few lads that have been on there for a while and they were all scratching their heads at how the fuck it was going to be done in time, and are still wondering how they think it's going to be ready for the new Peter kay dates.

Co-op Live web site and the BBC are saying the arena will open with the Black Keys.

A 10k capacity for that event whilst they still test the venue.

Disgraceful they have been selling tickets when they know they are not ready.

Infairness we are not bad at working to deadlines, it's the idiots that set ridiculous deadlines that are the problem, its pretty standard nowadays in construction for the unseen top bods to demand the moon on a stick with fuck all chance of it happening.

Will the North Stand open before it?

My old gaffer on the building sites used to say, "A woman cant give birth to a child in a month by working 9 times as hard" (mind you he was drunk most of the time)

It has to be confirmed to happen before you’ll get activation.

The Manchester Evening News used to be an informative and readable newspaper, then it all went wrong.

When did they start building it?
I don't recall seeing it when I went for jabs at the tennis place in 2021.

That’s funny, I found a set of black keys while shopping at my local co-op in Weaverham last night. I did hand them in. Is this anything related?

They were working on it when the COVID-19 injections were being rolled out, it was the foundation work and that load-thumping noise hammering steel tubes into the ground
