Ignore the FA or RFU or NFL who get top 10 singers to perform, we are a local stage for local bands...... "Tut!" No, you really are out of touch with the music scene aren't you granddad!

And the first person on the list of the link in my response to grandad Bleep1673 shows them with 67k followers and she's an unknown. That's just a single example of how my idea whilst crazy to some shows you how much greater interest there is in unknown artists than a group albeit great in their time but was two decades ago. I bet any on that list would jump at the chance to play in front of a big audience and do it for a fraction of the cost of Shed 7. We want people who are on the up, not old fogey's that people barely remember/never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odsal Outlaw Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Shed 7 is a great choice! The GF seem to be going down a northern/indie route and these are bang in for that with some good anthems. SL now just need to get them in the middle of the field with a proper sound system like they do in NRL!

I only buy tickets each year in the hope that 911's year must be soon. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

It's funny isnt it, all the talk about attracting a new modern audience and we are going with yet another male indie band who appeal to 40yr old men. Blossoms was a step forward last year, a current act, but if we are going to stick with the Indie route we need to be aiming bigger, there are some outstanding acts out there at the moment. And then why just this one genre? I wonder whether we would benefit a bit more from a boyband kind of group where we would get the kids wanting to go and drag their parents along. They are far more obsessive about these kind of things. I'm sure Shed Seven will be great. But so were Razorlight, and so were The Charlatans.

Well yeah, so they’re better off getting a band that more people there will know and like than some modern student band that few people will have heard of. It would be like asking The Prodigy to play at the world crown green bowls tournament when you could get David Essex instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should make more of the fanzones and newer acts could get those buzzing. A half time slot could be on offer too and more of a well known anthem kind of band for pre-match.

Why use the £50 tickets? Why not the £20 ones. Even cheaper for kids. Are you genuinely telling me that if we went big and got say George Ezra, or Little Mix that we wouldn't get people who want to see them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would though (tbh I have no idea what lengths teenagers would go to to see those acts) then you’re right SL are missing a trick. Though there might be a risk of half the crowd leaving before the game starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyard johnny Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 nothing against the sheds but who decided this? a festival trawling band with very limited appeal who have all the kids and family backstage at those awful middle class festivals, why not run a young "battle of the bands" comp in conjunction with the rl season where the winner gets to play at the gf- thus generating more interest with the yung uns see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumby Magic Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 For me we should have the bands doing a good hour of songs, then do the retiring players walk out. I feel that would add to what is also a great spectacle. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
