saintnextlifetime Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 That's a really good question & we totally believe there is a market - our job is to document & demonstrate that. The aim is to develop a facility that is unique in style & content, attractive locally and to a wider audience, mixing leisure & education with Cinema & Theatre - underpinned by digital technology that can beam in live performances & sport from all over the world. Grateful for your interest & contribution. Believing there is a market is one thing , surveying the public is a way of confirming that you have a market. . All to often I see a new venture opening up in a town only to close a short while later because they have no business . They must have believed there was a market but obviously they didn't survey the public to ascertain if there was enough business there to merit an actual premises to service the public . .

beyond our ken Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 will post on the FB page. the Playhouse in Perth is doing great trade using a mix of mainstream, art-house and niche presentations on the screen they have an I-max, which is a must rather than waste money on a rerstaurant, doing a meal & movie deal with local eateries would work more cost-effectively (i think) theatre wise, if the alhambra in Dunfermline can do so well, then why not a paisely theatre. dunfermline is very connected to edinburgh yet manages to sustain the carnegie and the alhambra very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 There's a gap site on the High St between The Wee Howff and Leisureland or what about the old TA building? I suppose it's all down to £££££s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurich_allan Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd sell them our current all seated souless stadium with car parking facilities as long as we can move back to Love St. We have been in this new stadium for nearly 5 years and it still feels like someone else's ground. It's only soulless because of what's being served up on the pitch. There have been matches such as the 4-0 vs Celtic and the 5-4 vs Ross County along with a few others where the atmosphere was absolutely electric. Poor football under Gus (along with approximately 50 injury time losses), followed by long winless runs under both Danny and Tommy have been the cause of the lack of atmosphere, not the stadium itself.

Happy Buddie Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Awful stuff, tasted of plastic and made me wheeze, I must have been allergic to some of the nuclear toxins that were in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disagree. many fans wanted a four-stand arrangement without realising that the atmoshere is generated by people being enclosed. iwould sugest that the club invest in some big plastic advertising banners to drape across the north and south stands and only open them if we sell enough tickets in advance to make it worthwhile more than once, especially in the early days of the McPherson promotion season, i saw the crowd lift the team from a tepid performance to get things moving again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Aside from my usual argument that Modern fitba is PISH.... ......the roof of the old North Bank was shaped in such a way that the sound generated by the crowd was amplified far greater than how the new West Bank roof is designed. I'm sure there must be an "Expert" Sound Engineer on the forum who can explain the difference in the acoustics between the grounds. Feck developing the void - get a new roof on the on the West Bank same shape and bring back the striped roof. Introduce safe standing with no reserved seats. Getrirwrigglyspearmintgumandyermacaroonbars! It was the corrugated asbestos sheeting that gave those acoustics. Bring it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
