Where did you read the CIA was to be knocked down? I know they’re building a new arena bought I thought the CIA was staying for smaller events. |  |

You lot can have the motorpoint, maybe we should take it apart carefully and rebuild it in Swansea. |  |

Bad news - Motorpoint is a great venue . Perfect wherever u sit . Why build a bigger arena when u can’t see anything at back in it . Where is this news ? | | | |

Not just me. We should all be concerned.
Personally I don't care if this white elephant becomes reality. Cardiff has far too many entertainment venues that are empty for large periods so this will be vastly underused and almost guaranteed to lose money.
The worry for me is how much of our money WAG will put into this to get it of the ground followed by how much they will spunk to keep it afloat.
This is one we should all be watching very carefully. Plaid have already highlighted the vast differences in per capita spend across Wales when compared to the SE. This could make a bad situation worse. [Post edited 18 Feb 2018 18:38]

You, and plenty of others, worry far too much about things which in the grand scheme of things, don't really matter. It can't be good for your health mun.
Cardiff get the lions share of funding/hand outs, it was ever thus. | |

Contaminated material will have to go to specialised landfill areas, not Swansea btw. [Post edited 18 Feb 2018 18:44]

It is sold out a lot of the time for the big acts...sometimes within a few minutes.
Larger capacity is needed and I would suspect this is all being done through the private sector and not coming out of WAG funding.
Bruce Dickinson joked about playing in " this shed". The would prefer to play the Principality Stadium.
Personally, I don't like really big venues because if you're unlucky enough to be near the back you cant see much of the stage only on large screens...not the same. |  |

Watch the booking fees go up. Scandalous. |  |

Unfortunately that sort of attitude gives Welsh Labour the impetus to do what they like. We should not lie down, think of England, and let then get away with it.
Do you feel the same way about the MTC? Admittedly, if you live in Neath, you will be within the Golden Hour. | |

Didn't seem to be "thus" before the Assembly. Seemed a far more equitable split until then. |  |

If it's Private Sector LB I would have no worries. In this case I am sure that will be the lion's share of the funding. The Principality and the Opera House have been bailed out with taxpayers money before however.
A 15,000 arena will compete with the former, Legoland and Sophia Gardens.
It's one to watch IMHO as I don't want Carwyn loosening the purse strings again 'for the good of Wales'. [Post edited 18 Feb 2018 19:20]

You can hand wring as much as you like, it won't change.
The MTC is a different kettle of fish in my mind, there is a massive difference between life and entertainment. Now you can say that if you tolerate one type then I shouldn't gripe about the other, it's a tap in for you. | |

My first 'proper' gig was the Motorpoint, then the CIA, to see Maiden back in 2003. Me and my mates turned up 10 hours before doors opened to make sure we were at the front. Nobody else bothered turning up until 2 hours before so the other 8 were a total waste of time
I got some cool close up shots on my disposable Kodak camera though |  | | |

Yep I agree. but at 15,000 it will compete with other venues whether they are covered in or not so those venues could end up losing more money. Let's face it Sophia Gardens is a wilderness most of the time.
We also need to remember that much of the attendances in this areas come from the Swansea Bay Area who travel there on sub standard transport systems but that is another argument... | |

Lucky they're not coming from the other side of the bridge then, or else they'd have to navigate the Brynglas Tunnels  | |
