Which leads me on to the planned 3 day music extravaganza. So they are hoping to attract 10,000 per day to watch unknown local amateur bands and tribute bands.
So they are hoping 30,000 of the 81,000 of Scunthorpe will pay good money for this. Jesus… ain’t going to happen.
Various parts of your post make a lot of sense, and I agree with much of what you said. Particularly in regard to the 3-day music festival.
Staging a load of tribute bands and local acts will never ever attract 10,000 people for each day. In fact, it’d be lucky to get 500 – 1,000. It represents a massive financial risk.
An outside organisation could hire the stadium and grounds for a fee and put something on with an outstanding bill, and you could probably then expect people to travel from out of town / across the region to attend. I imagine that to be the way this actually goes, rather than the club doing anything more than providing a venue.
