There is always Wolves, I suppose, or even Sheffield United on the last game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Most big stadium concerts are generally advertised a good 12 months in advance depending on the size of the band. If there's been nothing announced by now I don't think there will be any. Does Billy Graham, the American preacher still hold the record for the highest audience at the Gate?

RedM Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I think we would do it if we could make a lot of money, prices similar for food etc to the ManU game. From what I know some performers want a cut of the takings plus a big wedge (majority share) of the bar and food takings and it's just hardly worth while in some cases. A couple of stadiums have announced concerts today so there is still time maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 11 minutes ago, Redbo said: He was just researching a book wasn’t he? I love the Who and have often wondered about this. About 10 years before that incident Townsend released a solo album called Psychoderalict which tells the story of an ageing rock star looking to make a come back. In it a female journalist sends the rock star naked pictures of herself as a 14 year old in order to strike up a relationship with the star. I remember it being a bizarre thing at the time but after Townsend's arrest I did wonder if there was more to it than "research" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcshorey Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I think I remember @Dollymarie saying Take That were looking at AG. But the deal wasn't good enough for us to make any money.
