No tears for North Stand

[Pan Times]

KEITH ANDERSON, Port of Spain

 While I empathise with Pan Trinbago as it complains about a loss of revenue with the non-erection of the North Stand at the Queen’s Park Savannah this year, I prefer to look at one of the issues surrounding the stand – the disrespect shown to panmen by the part-time pan lovers, deejays and rhythm sections.

These fake pan lovers show up at the semi-finals, also called the “Savannah party,” where they display a love for the lime or feting rather than the pan.

Pan Trinbago has to often call on deejays and rhythm sections to “take it down.” This disrespect should never be happening in the mecca of pan.

Next year Gypsy shutting down half of the Grand Stand. seems like this is how he intends to sell the illusion that all is well with Carnival.

Just to remind people that it was the lack of interest for the NON pan events that contributed to the almost empty North Stand. NCC failure to identify the problems facing Carnival will only add to it's demise.

Only one man on THIS FORUM ever pushed the idea of an "EVENTS CENTER" for PAN TRINBAGO. And now GYPSY take the idea and RUNNING WITH IT!!!
