The Co-op Live Arena

[rickmcfc]

Genuine question, I know this is in the land of our campus, but have city/CFG funded this?

If so it doesn’t look good on the club

If this was AmerIca there’d be a class action brought against them , people suing for travel, transport etc, uk just shrug their shoulders and roll over.

The problem happened whilst he did his sound check, but wasn't directly sound related. He wasn't due on until around 9 so probably soundchecked just before the venue opened.

Must be serious though as they've cancelled this weekends concerts already.

If the Tory party built arenas..

Sounds like someone could have been killed. Apparently it happened at 5.30pm. Meant to be taking my daughter on Friday. I hope they do a proper check b3efore then

All concerts cancelled for this weekend. Apparently part of a air conditioning unit fell off the ceiling during the soundcheck

yes it's serious the sound vibrations seem to have led to a loose piece of the services falling down. Completely unrelated to the other delays

People forget things really quickly these days though don't they

Which politicians know only too well

Not even an apology in their tweets. Imagine how much money people will have forked out for some of these gigs. Travel/hotel/tickets. These Olivia R gigs were one of the hottest tickets this year!

For those of us old enough to remember the old Co-op advert.

"It's not at the Co-op now".

Both the Co-op stamps and Green Shield stamps like this post.

health and safety bollocks... I remember being at the apollo when April Wine, Angelwitch and Sledgehammer played... stage crew cut the lights as one of the songs ended on a sixpence as the bassist launched his guitar in the air... the fkn thing came down like an Exocet and cuffed him on the bonce and shoulder - pole-axed

got up, dusted himself off - finished the set #softtw@s

Should have called it the B&Q arena.

Should have called it the B&Q arena.

The RAG arena, as bad as Old Toilet.

 

[deano ou812]

Seems to be one cock up after another,absolute shambles close it completely and don’t consider reopening till it’s 100% fixed how hard is that ..

Hopefully the one next week will be cancelled so don't have to have concert fans when going to the match

So any news on this? What do we reckon, Olivia on or off?

Already cancelled

 

[Bluesince1979]

The building company have lost millions on this project

Postponed, and for what I believe is an A-list artist, it’s pretty poor for the arenas already fucked up reputation.

I wish they’d have built it next to Old Trafford.

Cool.
Sorry, I mean, shame.

Longer term I’m sure all Blues want it to be a money-making success for us, but selfishly for this Saturday I’m glad there’s no clash.

They got too eager, too greedy, whatever, and started booking artists way before they could be 100% certain of being ready?
Or is that too simple a take?
