Taffy Tiger Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 We can top all of that . Neil Diamond has played at Cas 4 times this year . Would have been more if we'd won more games ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make it 6-6 on aggregate now? 2 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I saw The Killers in Falkirk a couple of years ago. A much smaller town and a worse stadium than CP. I probably wouldn't pay to see Coldplay if I'm honest, but there's no doubt it's a massive coup for HKR and the city in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just really odd because they are doing 6 days at Wembley as well and no where else. Its the extremes that seem most bizarre to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Seriously. They must be an explanation - maybe Neil Hudgell has done some work for them and he's called in a favour? Or, they are taking pity on us and it's a patronising token gesture to northerners! www.heyshamatoms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the extremes that seem most bizarre to me. I had a very brief think about this and came to the following conclusion. Coldplay are green capitalists. They are also British. Brexit has - whatever your views - made it more of a faff to play mainland Europe and the UK in the same tour on a British passport. Coldplay are very rich. They can pick one or the other. And they have fans who will travel from one to the other. London is accessible from the continent in a non-fly way by the Eurostar. Hull is accessible in a non-fly way by the ferry. You could just about argue that both places appeal as they are in Britain and accessible to all UK and Europe fans without the need for flying. Or, at least, if I were pitching Hull over any other outside London city to a bunch of British green capitalists, that's what I'd go with. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
