New drone:

I think to retain any technical credibility, He should keep any of his thoughts on crane mechanics to himself. Or consult a typical 5 year old first.

I thought the same too.
Justin Talks Drivel...every fucking video. Don't know who's worse, him, Bardell or the one who looks like Simple Jack.

I mean, if I was pining for “proper journalism” I wouldn’t be spending my time watching YouTube drone footage searching for it.

Romano would probably tell his news over drone strikes if you paid him enough.

Sorry, I'd had a few. Still think insulting Villan fans who bother to put up interesting content is shitty though.

On Percy’s point that the club should target increasing the spend per person; what or where would people be happy to spend more?

The warehouse strikes me the catalyst for this, as done right, and you could easily walk out £20 poorer.

The Majestic is bigger than the Warehouse, the Witton Arms has 1500 capacity, the Aston Hotel has 54 rooms (and that’s to live there), the Aston Tavern 300 capacity and 17 rooms, the Aston Inn has 30-odd rooms.

Has there been good feedback on the Warehouse as a music venue after Editors were the first name band to play there recently?

True, but the day-tripper with a few dollars in their pocket is more likely to want to go to the official venue and buy tat merch.

Add in the fan zone and kids entertainment and it’s a good option for people bringing their kids along as well who will pay a bit more to have the kids entertained.

All I saw was a tweet with some footage from Richard Franks. Surprised I haven’t seen a review by him.

I’ll do one if they put someone on I like.

All those venues I listed would be targeting business people in the week, tourists and matchday drinkers on the weekend. And I’m advocating for them to become official.
