They are not even the biggest selling band to play in Coventry.

It’s odd why it’s deemed if much interest in a football forum. Couldn’t see it happening on a Villa forum - people getting excited that some band are playing at the NEC - it isn’t a revenue earner for the city - it’s straight in and out for concerts - only benefit is the tour promoter, wasps and oh you.

Yes the Beatles played in Coventry, before my time but I saw many bands at the treetops, tiffanys(née Locarno) who went on to become major superstars.
If we are comparing then Springsteen and Stewart are major artists but I suspect the Stones Rolling in to town will be like Manchester United coming instead of Barnet

Surely it improves the status of the City if high profile bands consider coming here ?
It's also better for local fans not having to travel to watch great concerts and sporting events in places like London

They were pretty good prior to the dreadful Red Red Wine.

Since then mind, with perhaps a couple of exceptions, I'm in agreement with you.

I don't get all the to and froing.
My first instinct was great they're coming to Coventry and I, tickets permitting will be able to go and do something I should have done 40 yrs ago.
Stadium, Stadium owners wasn't on my radar, Locality was as I hadn't really been aware they were on the road.
Probably makes me shallow or whatever but I think apart from shelling out hefty dosh currently for me I will have a great time.
Perfectly understand peoples opinion on Taste/preferences but lets drop the secondry sideshow around it .
Just doesn't register for me.

If someone on a Stones thread says something going on elsewhere is better, then my opinion is it's sour grapes.

I see what you did there Otis you cheeky monkey , you know I meant the Big Weekend and The Stones, or was I actually referring to CCFC and their academy, as both great for Coventry!

When the person saying it says that both events are good for Coventry and that he prefers another due to the acts at that event, then your sour grapes comment was clearly relating to Wasps.

I will leave it there as I don't want our disagreement to derail the thread, and I agree with LAST's point that the Stones coming to Coventry rather than Birmingham is good publicity for the City

You've gone wrong with album sales, singles used to be a bigger market and where the money was.
1 Beatles
2 Abba
3 Queen
4 Rolling Stones.
Although I wouldn't take any figures as gospel as a lot are estimated.
