    i agree with Max, 9,500 capacity isn't a lot. why does this city always do things small scale? suprised it's actually being built. they must have secured the cash before London got the olymics. RIP tram scheme

    well, i guess we've got to be thankfull we managed to get somethin like this at long last. i hope it can attract decent acts to the city. we should have all the big bands and artists coming here, I'm just not sure a 9,500 capacity arena is going to attract the very big ones.



    i guess it's just a case of wait and see. hopefully my concerns are unfounded

    We shouldn't have to have that tent though to increase it they can clearly build more seats.

    Dave, did you take that from the police station?

    Thought it was the police station then.

    I'd be wondering what why you'd be in one too.

    I assume that 9,500 capacity is seating - you can double that if it's standing.
    You also have a much better chance of getting a wider range of bands if it's mid range - that was you don't exclude smaller bands and bigger names get intimate gigs.

    Not to mention stadium gigs are horrible to go to.

    TWO new hotels at Liverpool's Kings Dock have been given the go-ahead.
    The three-star-plus Jurys Inn and smaller Staybridge boutique hotel were backed by councillors yesterday.

    The L-shaped hotels, which will contain 442 bedrooms, conference suites and shops, were approved by Liverpool's planning committee.

    They are a key part of the £148m Kings Waterfront development, which includes a 9,000-seater concert arena.

    Tony Stevens, speaking for developer McAller & Rushe, said: "The hotels will be the first set of buildings you come to when you arrive at Kings Dock from the city."

    LIVERPOOL'S economy will receive a boost of tens of millions when professionals descend on the King's Dock Arena and Convention Centre in 2008.

    Three of the country's leading groups have already booked conferences before the centre is even built, with 70 more in detailed talks with managers.

    A number of music's biggest promoters, including Clear Channel, the world's largest, and SJM, are also in talks to add the venue to the touring schedule for their artists, finally allowing the city to compete with Birmingham's NEC and Manchester's MEN arena.

    The news came as a huge 200-ton girder, which will form the spine of the arena, was winched into place at the Kings Dock yesterday.

    Last night it was also announced that the arena will definitely host the Summer Pops in its opening year in 2008, along with Classical Spectacular and the European Amateur Boxing Championships.

    Speaking about the demand for the Kings Dock's conference facilities, chief executive Bob Prattey said last night: "These are prestigious associations who only go to the best centres in the country.

    "They bring with them hundreds of well-paid professionals, possibly accompanied by their spouses, who at the end of the day are going to spend, adding tens of millions of pounds to the local economy every year."

    Once complete the Kings Waterfront will include a 9,180 seat arena, a 7,500 sq m exhibition facility and a 1,350-seat auditorium and two hotels.

    It will also have 1,800 residential units, commercial leisure and retail space as well as car parking and public open space. more
