What do you think Foundation needs?

following andy's quote.. what do you think foundation needs?

a refurb? a new sound system? new seating layout?

i can't put my finger on what it needs, but i think it does need something.

no cockey remarks either..

Bouncers replaced, open poppers policys lazers that reach the front.

Also state of the art air con.

as a venue I dont think theres anything wrong.

people that get bored of foundation tend to do so because its a box.... they can't change the shape of the building.

Personally I think a change in direction is needed, foundation can't compete with shindig on a saturday or stonelove on a thursday.... The comeptition is too established and has all the glamour of a new venue.

Think foundation should move their indie night to a friday seeing as bulletproof is moving to saturdays at the accademy.

Think saturdays should cater for r and b, drum and bass, hip hop, trance, etc. nights that wont clash with shindig.

I think if foundation continue to attempt to go head to head with digital they'll come out worse...

is this still the case?

I thought craig seemed the scary one and he's moved to digital.

I agree 100%

They have changed them now Theres a lot of new faces and they've all been really nice the ladies too! Craig is at Digital lol I saw him last night he is pretty scary

The Bouncers are fine as is the club its like Joes wardrobe its time will come again

It's two of the baldy ones (not me) that always cause problems.

He has!!!!

There appears to be less doorman in foundation now, different ones as well, less fierce, more like friendly lions

This is very true, I was reading an article today which said people want somewhere like this to chill out with your friends, somewhere more intimate where its not all going on.

darling check arena homme

isnt that what the backroom was meant to be far?

it gets too smokey for me to chill though.

Spot on. Def need to move the indie night to another day.

i thought the back room was where the mincers seduced each other to house music, it was like a camp cat walk.

newcastle needs a laid back after hours club (a bit off point cos that not foundation, its too big)

change the dress code slightly to what it was about 5/6 years back.

something like. no rockports, no logo's (eg. hackett across chest), and no stripey tops. saw people actively evicted from the cue on many occasions for wearing such gear and one lad in particular asking if he had to dress like a hippy to get in.

go back to attracting '' top dj's'' to shindig week in week out.. ie, darren emerson, justin robertson, carl cox, roger sanchez, norman j, satoishi tommei, danny rampling, deep dish etc. they used to be on all the time and shindig used to be packed every week, with cue's round the corner and down the road.

p.s john carter too... coxy said on the radio the other day she'd never been but really wanted to go... i'd pay double for a ticket if i thought she'd be there!

I actually think feedback is the better night, better line-ups, more tuned in management, etc.

but people need to discover it and sadly they're unlikely to stray from something they know they like or a new venue that has the novelty of being a new venue.

if you ban the rockports you lose profits.

If you book huge dj's on the same night that shindig book huge dj's you lose profits.

you shouldnt go into promoting
