[Music] Concerts at the Amex

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I know there is not a lot going on anywhere at the moment but what has happened to concerts at the Amex?
Is it because we are in the prem the revenue is not needed? Were the ones that happened not successful?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Just seems like the club's heart was never really in it. Unlike the cricket ground at Hove. They seem to really love that stuff

 

[Icy Gull]

No loss to me, not a stadium concert fan personally. Rod Stewart concert and the mayhem in getting away killed any desire for me...however if Neil Young, Dylan or Coldplay were playing I’d be there like a shot

I think it was in the good idea category when ground being built - but money to be made is likely to be marginal and not worth the hassle - reckon we make more re having events over summer in the lounges in west stand - problem is location and unlike a match when us fans are trained into arriving early and leaving later so transport usage is staggered; a concert crowd will just all arrive at once then all expect to leave at same time too

 

[Official Old Man]

I couldn't understand why the Stones didn't play the Amex but went to St Marys.

Coldplay the musical equivalent of Mrs Brown's Boys

The West Stand full of people holding their phones with the light on would be quite a sight

Not going to apologise or feel embarrassed, I bloody love Coldplay in concert

Mrs Brown’s Boys can do one though!

You can't always get what you want.

I'd have thought, acoustically the County ground is vastly superior to the Amex . . . . although the neighbors may be fussier, dependent on artiste.

Not my thing, but I'm sure tickets for Coldplay would sell out at the Amex in minutes.

Never mind the Amex or St. Mary's, l can remember the Stones playing St. Leonard's Church Hall in Horsham in the early 60's.,

ROYAL BLOOD @ the Amex please

Thinking about it, an All dayer of local bands/Artists would be great... . Obviously I would be glad to help ;-)

I've always wanted to do a mini festival in Buckingham park Shoreham, the natural slope makes it perfect.

Ben, Royal Blood drummer, is always in the West Lower. They've just sponsored Rustington FC. They'd be an excellent headliner to a 'Sussex Aid' festival. How many Brighton/Sussex artists are out their at the moment (finger not on the pulse)

I wish they still did camping on the pitch

I thought we were talking about a band playing, not having a mini Glastonbury.

I've not witnessed a player that flamboyant myself

If everyone who claims to have been there was actually there, the attendance would be more than the Amex holds too!!

A well known Stockbroker is keeping busy on line.

I would wager a reasonable sum that transport links are a big disincentive.
