Guest hairyshamrock Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Does it not worry anyone else that there was a crowd of over 21,000 OAPs at the gate last night to watch Neil Diamond and we struggled to get a crowd of over 12,000 all last season? My advice to the commercial department; forget trying to get the youngins in on the cheap "cos they're the future", get in the nearly-stiffs cos they have real commitment!

atyeoboy17 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I'm afraid i was at the concert last night, and probably 75% per cent were from over the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Rod as our new target man, and Elton at left back..........Atmospere sorted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Rod Stewart performed at Ipswich a few years ago. I don't know what fell out of his pockets, but a few days later the Portman Road groundsman found a strange, orange coloured fungus growing in the area Rod had stood in!
