Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "i was of the understanding that the gigs aspect of it, was a part of the planning permission, ie no gigs, to appease the watkin street residents association (and others) but when the little mix( i think) gigs were announced at the totally wikkid (wikkid maaan) a few years back Mr Moran got asked why their and not here and he said it came down to space, and s on seats, cost the same in terms of rigging their stadium out but could get more people in for more prrrrofit.
That being said, having seen what gigs have done to saints pitch, huddersfields pitch and KR's in the past (think that was boxing actually) i'm happy to give it a swerve.'"
We'll still be benefitting indirectly of course, with SJM owning the majority of the club, but with another big loss in the last financial year (-£1.8m), it's a shame we can't generate some benefit from SJM links - I'm sure pitch issues could be resolved, planning issues less so!
