    Lets be honest do you think all the above will happen? The only city in the UK tourists are interested in is London. The whole thing is a white elephant.

    As for cash Liverpool has just got £750 million off the EU, does it need more cash??? FUCK ME THE PLACE MUST BE WORSE THAN BASRA!!!

    YOU ARE ANTI-GEORDIE!!

    We went on Boxing day to go to ascention and dared each other to run through the fountains in the street. I cant remember whether any of us did it though!

    Exactly :rolleyes:

    My opinion is my opinion, but Layo & Bushwacka, MYNC, etc, etc are all average bookings.

    They do have a Circus Vs Casa night comin up soon though :D

    fuck the culture bid. This city will do what it's always done in the past and get on with it, on its own.

    While I don't want to sound smug, as disappointed as I was, I'll admit that when I heard I was sort of pleased, considering how close the city's club community was to pulling off potentially one of it's most lucrative and memorable moments. The Love Parade. Then as now, we were shafted by incompetance and local politics.
    That loss fucked over a lot of people, To Die For etc. and we're still suffering.

    Newcastle and Gateshead my arse, at one of the bid events Gateshead councillors stood on one side of the room, Newcastle the other for fucks sake. Next time the people should set up an independant bid, though in all honesty I don't think Newcastle needs it.

    All that doesn't make the Liverpool bid better, I think they traded far more on their history, plus the fact that one of our main supporters is a Scouser speaks volumes.

    There's so much more to say, but really don't have time. The most important thing now is focusing on what we have. What do you really want from this city? and what do you want from it's music scene? Most importantly though, what can YOU do to make that difference?
