Seems chaotic but I guess that is the vibe. Having got lucky in Athens (pushing through when being stuck outside seemed more likely...) I'll give this bratwurst barrage a miss...
True. What I mean is, it’s not a regular guest list or a paying guest list. Seems to just give you the chance of buying a ticket on the door.
Not looking to get laid, so dancing like a crazy man with other Brighton fans sounds like a dream come true, count me in. (As football fans we chose a wurst dominated environ, so shut up and f'in dance ... I may be a little drunk whilst I proclaimed this point of view and reserve the right to make fun of people enjoying themselves dancing, whilst I prop myself up against a wall drooling and muttering
)

It's not a club night is it, even with Fatboy present.
It's a big massive sing-along celebration of our wonderful football club with a group of like-minded souls in one of Europe's great cities after arguably the biggest away game we've had in 123 years of existence.
And that world famous DJ bloke, who happens to be one of us, is going to lead the way.

Heard it’s now been cancelled on orders of local Plod?

Can’t he just do it acapella while we wait for the shuttles

Having worked in the Roman event scene for a few years, I'd advise a few things...
1) The club is about 1,500 capacity. I worked there in the past and all events are €0 guestlist with everyone queuing and paying on the door.
2) The venue is about a 40minute taxi (1hour+ bus) from the stadium. Take that into account with the time we're held back in our seats.
3) FBS only plays Spazio Novo Cento (3,000+ cap) or the local Maggio fest which is an outdoor huge festival stage. This gig is a big deal to the local nightlife scene!
He will be amazing to see (as usual), but thought these things may be helpful if the event does go ahead and you're thinking of seeing big Norm

I think his acapella repertoire only stretches to 'Caravan of Love'!

Hi WestYorkshire, given your knowledge of the venue, would you say it's virtually impossible for a 17 year old to get in?

Hiya mate,
I'd give you a 75%+ chance of getting in at 17 at an event in Rome (100% if you're female, sadly
).HOWEVER... as this has the football-link and you will have a UK (I assume?) ID then it will really come down to which scary mafioso bouncer you get. So realistically I'd say your chances are knock dramatically from that.
Oh, and if we win and the bouncers are Roma fans then 0%
(no joke)

I'd happily take a Paul Heaton serenade of that classic any day
It did occur to me that it will be a 'hotspot'...
Gotta love NSC.
Is there a dress code? It looks quite fancy.
(Can't remember the last time I went to a club with tables)

I wish I could big it up as being glamorous, but sadly, no.
No dress code, usual UK bar attire.
The "tables" are a funny part of the Italian club business. I don't know how much they are for FBS but in the past it would be along the lines of '€600 for 12 beers and a spirit bottle' or sometimes even more €€

I am in the same boat. My 17 year old lad with me. Do I chance it?
If he gets turned away after queuing for +1 hour, that will be me also heading back with him to our place near Spanish Steps way whilst all my mates rave on. A dilemma.

Apart from the distance to the gig, travel time, the high risk of not getting in without a dress and the cost of booze, are there any negatives?
The fact that Norm probably won't be on until 2am?Apart from the distance to the gig, travel time, the high risk of not getting in without a dress and the cost of booze, are there any negatives?
(On the plus side, the Underground starts 30min after it closes...)

Minimum age for entry is 22. Cost €10. There is a number online to add your name to a "list" but assume it will be chaos?
