 Hopefully all is well with our local Council regarding this, imagine the furore if they meddle 

This would have only been announced because the council have already approved it so I don't see why they would. Might get some local mardarses whinging about noise or road congestion (for the second event of this nature in 40 odd frigging years.) I suspect getting to deal with Carol rather than Normong left the council only too happy to stamp anything.

Shame Lemmy is no longer with us. Would have been nice to maybe have Burslem’s finest on stage one more time in the town also ?

I think that I must be dreaming Port Vale doing so many positive things and now the absolute 'cherry on the top' Robbie Williams coming back to his roots. Well done to all concerned in achieving this fantastic coup!! I might even buy his new album now.

I went to a do there a couple of weeks ago. They're doing their best and we had no problems at all. As the main hotel in Burslem I wish them well.

Correction...The only hotel in Burslem!

In fairness to Norman he too probably tried to get Robbie to do a gig to help those in need...himself.

He probably wanted something like 50% split of the profits.

We now know why he wanted to split the ground from the club. An event like this would have lined his pockets beautifully.

great coup for the club. Apparently Carol was already looking into having concerts staged here before RW team got in touch. They are steadily lifting the profile of our club from the shambles it was before. I cannot believe how things have changed in just a few months.They are more than a breath of fresh air, they are miracle workers.

40 years ago the ticket was £7.50. Local residents were offered the chance by the club to go to Blackpool at the clubs expense. I think they choose Blackpool because it was the he nearest place to home, where they would’nt be able to hear, the heavy metal Holocaust

Carol and Kevin will push the club forward on and off the pitch it’s already taking shape.
I’m confident that the club will be challenging for promotion in the next 2-3 years if not sooner .something special is coming , all the suffering we have gone through will be all forgotten

Credit to Carol and Kevin for this can’t wait see Robbie Williams next year at Vale Park😀

Stadium concerts I have attended usually have the band in front of one of the goal ends. As the Hamil facilities are far superior possibly set the stage up in front of the Bycars.

We may even possibly see the Lorne Street finished for this?

[cheshirevaliant]

I suspect the Lorne Street will be finished, as I can't see RW wanting to play in front of a half finished stadium for one of his showpiece gigs.

Surely some compromise will be forthcoming this time to the local residents. As much as this is a great idea from a pop fans perspective the actual logistic issues will give local residents nothing less than inconvenience and nuisance.

 

Has any consideration to the local community in the Hamil Road area been given any consideration by the Shanahans at all?

[cheshirevaliant]

I'm sure they will have given consideration to local residents. Other grounds in residential areas cope well enough with 30 000 turning up every other week, I can't imagine the Vale don't have a plan in place.

Not a chance. They will probably just throw a huge RW banner over the bricks.
