That need crowds.

How do you decide who (If anyone) gets help if they continue to limit audiences.

Andrew Lloyd Webber greetin on the news but how should theatre be helped and sport not?

I watched the interview I understand what he was saying.
My wife was going to the sold out Cliff Richard concert in the Royal Concert Hall In Glasgow towards the end of this month.
She was going with two life long friends and they had booked two nights in a Premier Inn in the centre of Glasgow and were planning to start their Christmas shopping
The concert has been cancelled until October 2021.
The Premier Inn has been cancelled and shops in Glasgow lose out as they will not be doing their Christmas shopping.
Worst of all I will not get two nights (3 days) respite when she was away.

So how will giving money to empty theatre businesses help premier inn or shops?

To keep my businesses going I have to fund them through to better days, should theatre owners not do the same?

Dundee FC will open with no crowds, no help and expected to fund itself.

Dundee Stars will have their season completely cancelled, again no help.

5 arty farts locations in the city are about to get over a million pounds of help. How does that work?

I am not suggesting that theatre owners receive funding because their theatres are empty.
I was trying to explain how other business are affected as a result of concerts being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
People travel from all over Scotland to attend these concerts which are usually held in Glasgow resulting in a lot of them requiring overnight accommodation and shopping in the shops in Glasgow.
My wife used to attend a craft fair every year in the SECC and she used to complain to me about the high cost of overnight accommodation in Glasgow.
Staying on Islay required two nights accommodation whereas people living in Dundee can travel there and back in a day.
One of the joys of living on a Scottish island!
I do not believe in Dundee Rep receiving subsidies from the Public purse.
They should be operating as a commercial business, putting on plays that are of interest to everyone not some of the arty farty plays that they have put on in the past. They should also charge economic ticket prices which includes a profit as most of the people who go to plays in Dundee Rep can well afford to pay a higher admission price.

Someone (not me) once drew a pair of Greg's and facial hair on an aulder women's Cliff Richard calender in oor office......think it was February.

2 day "investigation" had to take place.

Never interfere with a cliff calender.

Ken it would cause a lot of jobs but is it no lenny henry that advertises premier inn?

If I never saw another advert or the "comedian" again I'd no be too upset.

Generally though the industries that shout loudest will get help.....sky has never shut up a boot free lancers.....ie most sky reporters.

My wife has often told me that Cliff Richard can put his slippers under her bed anytime!!

I seem to remember reading that it is a DC Thomson Charitable Trust that has donated 50% (£500k) to the £1Million fund for the 5 ‘arty farty’ locations in Dundee.

Correct and full marks to them. They are putting their money to work. We all need to stop digging at each other. The arts are just as important to sme as football is to us. The real prize will b if the social distancing rules can be removed and getting all walks of life to think about an alternative seems to me to be worthwhile.

Saw a TV news slot about sniffer dogs that could detect covid. Duchess of Rothesay was introducing the item.

We pay full price to attend football matches whilst theatre goers at Dundee Rep pay a reduced ticket price thanks to government and local authority subsidies.

Football is just as important as the arts and not only doesn’t get help but is under attack.

Just plebs
