Nearly went a full week without a sideshow; feel sorry for Andy and the players who must be wondering what else is around the corner.
It’s the timing the board chooses to make these decisions which is the sickener, why couldn’t Goat/Merch labs be given the boot at the end of the year? Why was the FC100000 planned to be announced 6 weeks before the season end? Why has a festival been announced with 3 month notice ?
Some odd decisions/timings and all doesn’t appear well.
Novices.

I hope we’re all being overly dramatic and it’s nothing more but I think all the latest stuff underlines the lack of experience and footballing nous in certain areas. Should be focused on the five cup finals and not letting all these sideshows get in the way.

Having had time to digest it the Friday and Saturday are absolutely abysmal. I understand there’s an audience for the Sunday stuff though not my cup of tea at all. Still not sure there’s enough to shift tickets for that night still.

As someone with a broad taste in music, a passion for live performances, and a regular attender of festivals, I was initially excited when this event was announced. However, since then, it has become increasingly clear that the organization behind it lacks professionalism.
With no official line-up released, a website devoid of essential details such as the daily running order, and a general absence of enthusiasm surrounding the event, the outlook for this event is far from promising.
Given the ongoing rumours regarding licensing issues and council permissions, I would be genuinely surprised if the event goes ahead at all. Considering Tom Zanetti’s “performance” at the Chester match, this level of disarray sadly comes as no surprise.
Same here but I didn’t buy any tickets for this one. I’ve been involved in arranging events like this over a number of years in my line of work and you need 12-18 months to get the planning right – you can’t shortcut processes or you end up with the mess we’re seeing. Understand we’re desperate for money but it’s all a recipe for disaster. I hope there is no financial risk for the club with how this has been arranged.

Size of operation is a factor. The club is averaging attendances over 4,000, majority home fans, which is a lot more than in the later EFL days. A number of staff part time too.

All these account announcements from clubs on the day Arsenal and Tottenham announce they’re playing each other in Hong Kong for a quick cash grab. The game’s broken.

Don’t see the harm in events like this – do see the harm in poorly thought out events like the Weekender (reputational damage).
