Two years after launch New Edmiston House is proving to be as useful as Rabbi Matondo or Kieran Dowell.
Despite the downturn in the entire area around Ibrox it was decided that there was a massive untapped demand for an event venue that would be knocking out a profit every day of the week to fund future spending in the transfer market.
Apparently there was a huge demand to get out of the city centre, onto the Ibrox Underground and soak up the atmosphere created by the Loudon Tavern for a sophisticated night out with all profits going to the transfer warchest.
Online the bears piled in, a 365 days a year money spinner that would naturally be world class, stopping conversations across Europe to discuss the goings on in G51.
That was the plan but as the What’s On section below demonstrates it seems that New Edmiston House has failed to tap into anything other than the traditional Sash Bash audience.
Basically a beamback, a Burns Supper and a nostalgic return to the days when players and management avoiding National Insurance and Income Tax to beat Celtic is all that is on offer over the first two months of 2025.
It is a tired old format for a tired, declining demographic but fear not, exciting times lie ahead for New Edmiston House.
In a desperate plea for attention and an audience Glasgow World has published an email from Ashleigh Elliott, head of business development.
Edmiston House, which opened in January 2023, is entering a dynamic new phase. We are establishing our presence and making changes in how we connect with our audience, be that through more events or online.
The venue itself is renowned for its exceptional sound, lighting, and facilities, often surprising promoters and attendees when they step through the modern, metal-clad doors. It is conveniently located five minutes from the city, and we benefit from excellent transportation links, including the new Govan bridge, our famous Glasgow Underground, and proximity to the motorway and airport.
Since our opening, we’ve hosted a variety of gigs, featuring notable artists such as Creeper and the recent performance by Will Young, (X FACTOR) – which sold out fast! Looking ahead to 2025, we will be looking at working closely with the city on larger scale events be that sporting, cultural or social events.
Unfortunately NEH is too small to host the company Annual General Meeting or the end of season Player of the Year events.
Thats aw the FILTH have tae Hing on tae.. Days of Yesteryear & Sectarian BILE Fests! Who the Fuk in their TINY MIND wid want tae pay tae Listen tae BANKRUPT Fuds like Sideyways pass Bawwy when ur current squad canny win Fuk Aw lol! They REALLY are the Thickest Cunts oot there, Fleeced by their Pensioner Board & giving away their ‘Hard Earned’ DWP Money BAWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Did Creeper really play there? I kinda liked them, Spotify deletion ahoy. Not Creeper surely, hardly to heir typical band
Did some arsehole seriously think this was a money making venture ?…No wonder they are heading for oblivion…Total tossers.
Let’s hope it’s Jeepers Creepers playing next door on Thursday…
For Sevco of course !!!
Did Creeper really play there? I kinda liked them, Spotify deletion ahoy. Not Creeper surely, hardly their typical band. Yup they did. Eejits. 700 (not a large venue) goths in goven bizarre.
No doubt their white elephant will go the way of the dodo. Honestly, that mob couldn’t run a bath. Roll on liquidation 2, it’s all the numbskull zombies deserve. They really are as thick as shit.
New Edmiston house , as useful as the extra seating in the disastrous crumbledome stand renovation .
Klassic sevco !
They have essentially rebuilt a cabaret suite for the long-gone “chicken in a basket” circuit. The area round iBrox currently resembles the Shankill in the ‘70s so it’s hardly the sort of place you’d go out of your way to visit, or take someone you were hoping to impress (or shag). Thus most of the business it gets will resemble the scene in ‘T2 Trainspotting’ at the orange club – or worse still, the 1985 Liverpool-set film ‘No Surrender’…….
Captain swing. You have nailed the physical and social description of that area. LOL. John brown showing up in a leather trench coat to talk about the 5 1 game in 1989.
Cheers fella.
If anyone wants a laugh (combined with an eye-opener) go onto You Tube and search for “old firm documentary German Tv 1974” and you’ll see the original Edmiston Suite in its pomp, and Willie Waddell trying to explain the club’s, ahem, ‘traditions’….
I guarantee it’ll be worth your while.
Celtic obviously massive favourites for Thursday despite Jackson trying to sow doubt last Sunday which has massively backfired. Will look forward to seeing his Monday piece tomorrow. We were shit at hampden and won. If we put on a show over there and show no mercy I reckon we could do them 7 1.
Some of you, like me, will have read Iain Banks’ excellent 1st novel, The Wasp Factory.
Okay it was a bit odd but imo it was brilliant and cleverly funny as well as a touch weird.
Point is ‘they’ could re-name Edmiston House (accurately) The WASP Factory and advertise it in extreme r/wing publications, probably linked to the Ku Klux Klan, just like the “Billy” Fullerton of the Billy boys illegal choir. Most certainly a WASP of the vilest level.
They wouldn’t increase the numbers but they could guarantee that “real rainjurrs men” only came to that shithole and that ‘Nae Papists Here’ would be hung outside the doors so that even straying Tims would never seek entry.
On top of that, from our side, some of our mental young team could go in the dead of night and change “Papists” to ‘Players’ as in FACT both would apply and them dummies widnae notice it for months :-).
Hope they’re all hurting LF tonight and it carries on sine die (to use a footballing term) of which ‘they’ are ignorant. Hell slap it intae them.
