I went with 8 others in a stretch limo - a friend did some research and discovered that this was cheaper for us than going on the train.
It turned out that we weren’t alone - there seemed to be loads of limos heading for Cardiff that day. This was particularly enjoyable on the way home, waving...
I saw Arctic Monkeys there, and The Stone Roses. As you say, it was fine (except for the monstrosity that Ian Brown’s voice had become). Still don’t like the venue, though.
The Oasis gig was a horrible experience, though, and as @morematey says, I can’t believe their summer gigs will be any better.
Interesting that you mention it’s cold in the summer.
Back in the 80s I had a mate who went to Sunderland Poly to study Fine Art. I went to stay for a weekend in June, hitching up on the Friday in glorious, warm sunshine.
This weather lasted until Sunderland city limits - on entering the place...
I was also at Oasis at Finsbury Park in 2002.
Agree totally, it was a miserable experience. Crowd karaoke made it impossible to hear the band, and beer being thrown everywhere, all the time.
I recommend you tap into HT’s advice - his knowledge of the best bars and areas is second to none.
Yes, that was a brilliant night, and a superb few days in Berlin.
The venue is lovely, and I don’t remember noticing the sound being quiet, but as HT says, we were near the front.
I also remember it being really easy to get to and from, from the centre of Berlin - no hanging around for ages...
A Cambridge United fan, Simon Dobbin, was beaten up unprovoked at Southend some years back. He was left seriously disabled, and died a few years later - his death being attributed to this attack.
And some of their fans produce this.
I want them to lose spectacularly, and sink into the...
It would, in my opinion, be a real shame if this were to happen. The biggest joy in qualifying for Europe is travelling to interesting places around the continent. If we were in a final v Man United I would far prefer to spend time in San Sebastián than in, for example, Birmingham.
Yes, this. Particularly as she only removed the tweet when it was clear she could be getting in trouble for it. I don’t believe for a minute that she changed her mind.
Well, I was undecided.
But your second paragraph has swayed me. I have always disliked Manchester United immensely, and you’re right, failure in this final would do them enormous damage.
So, Spurs to win, please.
