The Co-op Live Arena

[Xhavenjoe]

Fingers crossed Keane gets cancelled

Is it a solo gig or is Micah Richards with him?

 

[Stato]

They have, all a bit embarrasing.

I mean you sort of have to to some degree cos artists plan gigs months in advance, but they don't seem to have built in any sort of contingency for things taking longer or going wrong

 

[Atypical]

They are a Dutch company.
The Irish arm are " still" building a large children's hospital in Dublin that is rocketing up in build costs week by week and well behind schedule.
Not sure who is mainly responsible, BAM or Irish government but it has become a major political issue.
They were also due to build a big entertainment centre in Cork about 10 years ago but hasn't even started. Spiralling build costs blamed

They are in Waterford building the bridge and the new residential zone however they sacked all their fat cats or shipped middle management to England.
BAM spent close to 800k on specially curved scaffold for the children’s hospital never used.
Now Leo is gone the expectation is BAM will be back.

What's the latest up and coming pub band ? The good news is that they may be Coop Live's first opening act in 2050.

 

[One Fan Clapping]

Coop arena’s falling down.
The manager’s a fucking clown.
No concerts for many years.
Teenage fans in floods of tears…

Here’s the owner of the company that built it

Good. I hope every gig there that clashes with any of our games gets cancelled, priorities and all that.
This is our City.

From the BBC website...



If CFG built the thing no wonder bits are falling off it, I can't imagine Soriano has done a days manual work in his life so wtf they were thinking letting him loose on it heaven only knows.

Wait until the press conference on Friday, first question to Pep!

I've just read that a part (size unknown) of the aircon system fell down during a soundcheck. Something wasn't fitted properly or was left loose completely so I'm not surprised more gigs have been cancelled because of this. To inspect the entire a/c plus all the infrastructure related to it will take a long time with specialist operators and machinery needed - it's very high up. The last thing anybody wants is a piece of metal falling from height onto a sea of heads below. I'm thinking a piece of unistrut or similar, fucking ouch!

A sea of heads. You are a wordsmith without equal.

Let’s be honest if this was a project Utd were involved in we would be ripping them to shreds and loving every second of it. The media are obviously going to link it to City .
