The grand slam bar near the front was for VIP area I think, what about the bar at the back by the Eric Roberts stand ? If that was not money for the club the event is a MASSIVE cock up as I did not know money from there was not for the club and I imagine loads others didn't either !!!

Why did we agree for someone else to sell drinks on the pitch with nothing going to the club? Maybe this was a condition for OM to play at the ground, if not it makes no sense.

If that is the case at least bloody publicise something that lets people know where the money is going, I'm sitting here bloody fuming !!

What profit/loss did we make from the previous gig?

Not being funny, but, no one should be "fuming" about anything they read on an anonymous message board before something is officially confirmed. May be at the AGM. The club took a cautious risk free approach to the concerts. Rightly. I doubt even they know a few hours after last orders what they did or didn't make.

I know its the event company who deals with this but why didnt they use the same system as for the stereophonics, i.e. go to glyndwr sports hall for wrist bands. That worked perfectly. ( I appreciate that it was probably a different event company than last year). Went last night and queued for approx 25 mins. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

Security has been stepped up significantly since last year, but the club and the organisers will be able to learn from this year's event and make it smoother. It will be similar to entry into MRS for Wxm games. They have developed a system of no queues and only 'Frank' is struggling to understand how it works.
