They do, it’s more a case of scrapping magic weekend altogether, as opposed to taking it elsewhere. competition restructure means it might not fit the league schedule any more.

The demand is huge now, and as we grow further, this will be need on account of our global appeal. I disagree.

Possibly just a rumour I heard on the radio, I don’t think they have decided yet. It’s all to do with new financiers. They are supposedly wanting to change the name of the Super League as well, all because of the name now has a negative reaction after the top 6 in football tried to form the ESL.

They have recently partnered up with IMG (I think it’s them) and are making lots of changes to try and improve attendances/viewership etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 We need to get more concerts at SJP. The fact that somebody like Beyoncé went to SoL over us is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Isn't St James' meant to be a bit of a shitter for concerts due to it's irregular shape? Never been myself for a concert so not sure how they arrange it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get around it a bit for one off gigs, as Fender is doing, by positioning the stage on the Strawberry corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t there something about the land with the station underneath wouldn’t be able to take the weight of the stand in it’s current form? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The lopsidedness almost works better. It’s more like a big amphitheater than the usual stadium setup. Not sure about the sound though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 SJP never holding a concert again is on a par with SJP holding concerts regularly to me. Coventry and Sunderland get them regularly. Good for them. Couldn't care less personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Not sure of the economics of it but I don’t think concerts a particularly massive money spinner. Sunderland ditched them for a few years because too much hassle for the meagre amount of revenue it generated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just had confirmation of the gallowgate club changes. ST is now £7000 with a minimum of two ST purchases for that area. Looks like I'm looking for a new seat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
