Big players want to play in front of big audiences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As much as we love playing the small clubs, we'd really like to get ourselves in front of a larger audience. I'm not talking about arenas or anything, but nice theaters and larger clubs.
The players must be at the centre of their industry.
The whole point is it's about getting as many people to come and see the play as you can.
Today, you're either very big or you're playing stadiums or you're not playing anymore. You're either popular where everybody will go to a 20,000 seat arena to see you or they won't go to see you at all.
As the game gets bigger for the fans it gets bigger for the players.
I think audiences can relate to the guys I'm playing, those large-and-in-charge idiots. Or maybe I just make them feel better about who they are, or who they're dating.
If we're going to be getting treated like that, why can't we treat the clubs like that? I just want to see the game and the players looked after the way they should be because the crowds don't turn up to watch David Gallop play... they turn up to watch the players play.
We don't care about our audiences that much. We just go out and play.
One of the benefits of playing to small audiences in small clubs for a few years is that you're allowed to fail.
We like playing smaller venues, but we know how many people want to come and see us so we don't ever want to stop anyone who wants to come to a show from coming.
