I wanted to make a quick comment about the idea of concerts at any stadium at this juncture. If you look at the way the concert industry is going at this moment large outdoor concerts have become a thing of the past. Ivor Wynne, West Harbour or any of the alternatives probably would not have gotten a concert anyway due to the costs associated with touring those sorts of shows these days. It would maybe have one or two in season if that. In the past few years there was a real desire to have shows at Ivor Wynne and from what I understand the only reason they did not happen was that it is not up to fire code regulations to allow for people to be on the field. There are not enough fire exits to allow for that many people to leave quickly and safely.

The idea of a redeveloped Ivor Wynne is a close second to WH in my opinion. My feeling is that if Bob Bratina had pushed it he would have been able to get the West Harbour done. The Cats have folded their cards because they had nothing and are coming back to the table because they realize that Aldershot is a no go. I think that a properly redeveloped Ivor Wynne stadium could be amazing as long as some of the elements that make Ivor Wynne, such as the proximity of fans to the field, are retained.
