“What's wrong with Bristolians? They complain when we don't get people like Elton performing in Bristol and when we do get them they complain about the location etc.

And considering the mem only has a small capacity(and yes it will still be there in it's present format by next summer and the summer after and even the summer after) then Nevil Road is a decent venue.

Hopefully it will go well and pave the way for future concerts there.

Us Bristolians should be congratulating GCCC for pulling off a major coup. They haven't got a lot of money so this will be a good thing for them.”

“Hmmm, slap bang in the middle of a residential area. Hope the locals are all Elton fans.”

“The facilities are rubbish at nevil road. I wonder if it will during the t20s when all the extra seatings up.. Or have Glos just given up on the idea of playing cricket.”

“not used to crowds at the (mem)”

“Excellent - Elton is an superb performer with an almost incomparable catelogue of classic tunes and obscure gems. Roll on June (if I'm solvent). County Ground seems a puzzling choice though.”

“NOT USED TO CROWDS”

“After the fiasco at Ashton Gate last time, the downs would be better.”

“Thats it!!!!!
Have huge concerts at Filton!.Loads of space,not fog bound,Good transport links etc etc....”

“what is right with the mem...?”

“I should think the mem will be being redeveloped by then (fingers crossed) Its a shame we don't have a decent arena in Bristol, its a bit like our airport we have to visit another city to see one !”
