stevieg1980 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 They seem incredibly happy with the Electric Ballroom and there's always a question of whether you lose something making that step up. PWG still run the same 400-seater they always have, despite 5-minute sell-outs. It probably wouldn't hurt to try it once, though... Exactly that. The atmosphere is such a huge part of promotions like PROGRESS and PWG that moving is not an easy decision. Running things like weekenders and more frequent shows (they're now doing every six weeks instead of every two months) may lessen that load a bit. Agree with the atmosphere thing for Progress. Surely soon though taking a risk on a show elsewhere, possibly the North West of England (hint, hint) would be worth a shot to see if its as popular elsewhere.The north west of England that already has PCW doing similar numbers, and Futureshock selling out most of their Underground shows? Why tread on their toes? ICW have ran around here and also NGW are running shows quite often around this area now. Can't hurt now can it. Quote
cleslie92 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 PROGRESS run in central London, that's their mission statement. Why would they go anywhere else? Quote
stevieg1980 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 It's a wish, a hope that one day they may decide to take their show out of Central London and try their hand elsewhere. Not me questioning their business practices or 'mission statements'. Is it too much to ask that you let me have a dream? Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Or you can stick your trainers on and get down to a show. Dont wait for them to come to you, because you could be waiting an awfully long time Edited June 8, 2015 by WyattSheepMask Quote

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted June 8, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted June 8, 2015 That's the thing - they don't need to tour; people go to them. If only there were promotions already running in the north west where you could see PROGRESS regulars like Mastiff, Rampage, Dar, Ospreay, Ligero, Samuels, Kirby, Travis, etc... Quote
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted June 30, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted June 30, 2015 Huh. That's ironic... So, PROGRESS have just tweeted a picture of Manchester Oxford Road railway station, with promise of a big announcement at 10pm, together with the message "Get your SatNavs ready"... Quote
Chris Brooker Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 The Ritz in Manchester... Sunday 6th December...Progress comes to Manchester.That'll save me a drive. Quote
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted July 1, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Interestingly, that makes a 'north west weekender', with PCW Festive Fury on the Friday, either Infinite in Liverpool or PAID in Morecambe on the Saturday, then PROGRESS on the Sunday. EDIT: scrap that - PCW have changed dates with their 4-show, 3-day event (Supershow of Honor 2???) the weekend before. Edited July 1, 2015 by Big Benny HG Quote
PRINCE2356 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think someone in the north west swapped dates with PCW on that date in december. GPW i think Quote

GPW i think That makes sense, given GPW were running the Friday before and would've made an odd clash with (what has now officially been announced as) the PCW & ROH weekender. Quote

That's mental that we're already talking about this coming round again, the last one feels like yesterday. Maybe it's my age. Quote
