Should have built a 10-15k concert arena on the Vaux site.
Would have been the biggest white elephant for years. I know from experience that we can't compete with Newcastle for musical acts and even if they are willing to come, there's gwberally a x-mile exclusion zone for tours when they're playing somewhere elsewhere so, if they do play Newcastle (which a lot of acts are even missing on tours these days) they wouldn't be able to Sunderland.
With a paltry capacity.Break a leg why dont you.The lack of ambition in some people is in believable.Maybe it's a Sunderland thing mentality.?? Indoor arenas are proposed all over the country.
I've promoted for years mate, I know the industry.
Feel free to give it a go and report back with your findings.
