I know he looks it but I don't think Rod is dead yet Feb8, no point in you chasing him.

Source?

Am not Rod Stewart fan....and i wont be planning to go...but am all for this sort of thing happening in Inverness. Shame we cant get a big act to play Bught Park. That would easily hold a huge crowd.

[CaleyD]

I believe The Parabnormal One is correct.

I agree. I think we should get Biffy Clyro to play in Ness again :)

Or Bruce Springsteen :P

[PullMyFinger]

Yeah great to generate more income.

Did Elton John's insurers ever cough up to pay for the pitch repairs?

[Pele_Is_God]

Good for the city........... shame he's crap live. Worst two hours of my life!

[Scarlet Pimple]

Parabnormal? Your joking Caley D.

You mean parabolic don't you, of course. :P

[FortressICT]

Is there any truth to this? Source? Probably more junk from Feb82000, your getting as bad as Renegade with your pointless threads....ghosts that aren't there. Ghosts are not real.

I believe that the cost of the pitch was indeed covered

There is some truth that there is a rumour to this effect. I do know that there are plans in place for a significant event and this would fit that bill. Just have to watch this space for further information.

Rod officially became crap in 1975. That Britt Ekland had a lot to do with turning him into an old poofter with all that makeup. If you were born before then you would know he was a legend.

My first ever concert was Rod the Mod at the Caird hall Circa 74,queued out all night with mates, got front row tickets,great show. Intro was the recorded commentary from Scotlands world cup qaulifier then Rod ran on kicking balls into the crowd and playing keepy up whilst singing,great showman in his day,spect he's stiffened up a bit by now but will probly go and see him for old times sake

Saw him 5 or 6 years ago. He wasn't bad and was still kicking balls into the crowd :)

[Libero]

cant say ive ever listened to that much of his music, some of his more famous hits arent too bad, might pop along though

If there is a significant event i hope season ticket holders get first priority

[tm4tj]

Why should they?

I'd imagine it would be possible to get 15 - 20 thousand in TCS. Would much more than that turn up at the Bught. Also why give the council the money to waste when ICT can benifit from it.

[davie]

Is the TCS the sole domain of elderly singers? Is it possible to get someone to play there who isn't arthritic?

[Fanoffooty]

Why should they?

I dont see why not , as one of the Perks of being a holder

[tm4tj]

Maybe, but it's not a football match, and any event won't be run by ICT I would doubt.

Im talking a PROPER outdoor gig...with 40,000-50,000 + people (which rules out TCS). I am of the belief that if you get a good act...people will travel and be happy to pay to see the act. Am talking about an act of the caliber of Rolling Stones, U2 etc.

Why couldnt they move away from the bog standard Hampden or Murrayfield Stadiums.

Not a chance you would get that size of event happening in Inverness.

It doesn't have the infrastructure to accommodate the volume....given that most people would be travelling in to the city for it and would require accommodation etc.

Even if you could accommodate it, I highly doubt you'd get the numbers.

You'd have to build the venue from scratch.....making it pretty much cost prohibitive.

And all that before the bureaucrats and church start sticking their nose in!!!
