Bit of a blow having to find a new sponsor in that case. Fingers crossed they've paid what they owe for this season already, the last thing we need at this point in time is losing out on money we're owed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's a bit of a worry that we don't need right now. What's the story behind it anyway (I had a quick look but couldn't find anything online). Did the Retro at the Rock flop kill it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like general running costs vs revenue have killed them. It seems fairly ambitious that they tried to organise the gig at the stadium whilst in such a poor financial position. The fact that they were punting tickets for it and advertising it before they even had the relevant licences to run such an event would suggest they are a bit of a rabble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the article https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/dumbarton-based-station-your-radio-12374118 It's a shame. I only met a few folk involved when I was with the Lennox, but they seemed a decent bunch. Always have time for a company keen on helping out DFC too. 'The Brae Shop Stadium' has a nice ring to it, eh @Howlin' Wilf! Actually...having read Ranter's post, it's maybe best you just stick with SonsTV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I remember in the early days at the Rock, suggesting to Ian MacFarlane to approach Northern Rock Bank/BS as I thought the stadium name would have been great for both parties. I don't know what happened to Northern Rock, you don't hear of them much now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that when the folk festival was on they had to delay entry to campers while the inspection was ongoing, I've also been in a queue on the first day of the fringe where the first show was delayed while they did it. That's what knackered the Green Day gig too I think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what knackered the Green Day gig too I think? They stated issues around "council and alcohol licencing, noise levels and traffic management" as being the reasons it was cancelled. Que all the angry Facebook crowd blaming the council for not giving us nice things in the town. It was later reported it was due to poor ticket sales. I'm guessing it was probably both. I'd expect the above issues to be ironed out prior to tickets being put on sale, albeit I'm no expert in how these things work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
