Cancel that 3 dayer

[Deereyme66]

Rather than chavfest, with a shite line up appealing to Superdry Warriors, which is surely realistically going to attract a few thousand locals and a thousand from out of town, wouldn’t a better strategy have been trying to sign a decent headliner and support act or two for each day who could guarantee a sizeable audience? I just don’t get their approach tbh.

Yes IMO 100% the best way to go .. one huge headline artist with a few run up crowd warming bands.

1 decent big name attracting a huge crowd rather than a plethora of semi talented noise polluting ones attracting less numbers and more hassle of the Zanetti kind.

Just get the feeling this whole event is gonna be a disaster .. hope not but heyho.

According to a Chester fan a “guy in a suit” was encouraging this Zanetti character. Is this the mystery man in the Directors Box

He’s probably talking about Glynn Sparks, who was on the pitch close to Zanetti and clearly trying to get him to stay ‘on message’. Or, rather, to find the message in the first place.

I really hope that the CEO is ‘invited’ to a meeting with the board today and given a right b********g for bringing that t**t into our club. Cancel the event and refund punters, we don’t need to be associated with this kind of crap IMO.

If it is a drug-fest, then that is going to bring the club in to disrepute.
If there’s trouble, would we face any financial penalties; facilitating the event and knowing what we know?
The whole event seems to have the stamp of one of “Baldrick’s Cunning Plans”
Shuffle it off to Quibell or Sheffield Park perhaps?
Hindsight is a great ‘super power’

I absolutely agree. Promotion as Champions tainted by the drug fuelled Battle of Glanford Park.

Has anyone heard how sales are going? Heard from someone in the know less than 500.

500 grams?

Takes blind faith to buy tickets without the full line up announced.
Bit like signing up £5 a month to own a football club.

[Harrytheiron]

Considering all this type of stuff is normally arranged a year in advance, and anyone of any credibility will be booked up for the summer, I think the organisers will be looking firmly in the bargain basement for acts.

After Zanetti’s half time ‘performance’ and the talk of it being a drugs-fest, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the council do not grant a licence.

Piss up in a brewery is becoming a common theme with our ‘Baldrick’.

[Harrytheiron]

I genuinely think it’s five people with no idea about music and what people are going to want to see being ‘taken in’ by promoters. The only way to explain this cringey sucking up to Zanetti.

I think they very much want it to be a success and that they very much don’t want to lose face, and that explains giving Zanetti the benefit of the doubt over Saturday’s shenanigans.

[Awaywego]

After this week with Zanetti, Danny and finally Fc100,000 it’s just five people with no idea.

Say you’re right and there are five people with no idea acting as custodians of our Club… Isn’t that even more reason to contribute some of your own skills, talents, enthusiasm, cash?

The audience is going to be 97% baseball caps isn’t it

Drug-fest 23rd – 25th May.
When does the pitch come up?
I hope plod will be drug swabbing anyone exiting GP in a car that weekend.

[Harrytheiron]

Does anyone know anybody who has a ticket?

[Awaywego]

Yes my daughter has bought some for Friday to take her son and nephew, and will probably have to take her son to see bad boy crew once they say which night take it they will be there on the Saturday.

[Awaywego]

I’ve retired now Apollo. Done my bit down the years for the community and society.

Enthusiasms for the grandkids now and taking them to away games both since the age of five now 15 and 13 respectively so lots of fantastic memories even without an ounce of success in there.
Cash wise at the moment I buy a season ticket and one for one of the grandkids (that’ll be two next season) traveling and the additional costs costs an arm and a leg, didn’t get any change out of £130 for the Farsley game alone, admittedly the club didn’t get a penny out of that, but one has choices and I’m the one that will make them if I don’t do enough to support my club then that’s tough shite I’m afraid.
Pretty sure the club in one form or another monitor the social media sites if they can’t pick up ideas from them that’s there loss,certainly the case of the lottery both sites now have pointed out the lack of promotion of it.

[Harrytheiron]

In just a few days we could be saying the festival is next month and the Friday and Saturday line-ups are still to be announced. Dirty stirling are a given for the Friday I’d imagine but they could only shift 500ish tickets for the Baths Hall.

[Deereyme66]

I assumed Mash’s Iron song on YouTube a few weeks back was a pitch for a Friday slot? Never recalled him being such an avid Iron fan back in the day. Could be wrong though and people change I suppose.

Spend £XXX to watch bands you can see for free in the Priory.

Did anyone skip the Southport home game to meet Tom in Sheffield at 3pm on Saturday? https://www.instagram.com/p/DHyF5jcNtDk/?igsh=MWlnaWtrcDQwMGR3NA==

Zanetti is not reflecting well on our Club is he? First the Chester half-time embarrassment and now this.
