Maiden would probably carry on doing albums and touring until they die of old age.

My priority will come in handy as there no way Steve Harris will allow them NOT to play at West Ham! Some of their gold discs are/were up on th wall of the supporters club at the old stadium

I still don't understand how we lost money on these concerts.

When we started we simply hired out the stadium - then we decided to do them in house with Gary Hutchinson setting up his own team, we didn't have the experience or the contacts and paid over the top. Its one of the reasons we have so many people working in admin areas at the club. Its barmy that Durham Cricket club can make a profit on smaller acts and venue than Sunderland could.

hopefully you'll get a deal like we have where season ticket holders get priority on tickets (we get them a day before any other sales)

we have that, so far this summer at London Stadium I have seen Rolling Stones and Liam Gallagher, my mates mrs is going to Beyonce and Jay-Z and then I have Foo Fighters next week

I have to say, i went to the same gig as you and i am also going to the Foos.

I thought the whole thing was awful, from the queue getting in, the ridiculous wait for a tube at one of londons most well connected interchange

As for a music venue, truely awful, horrific venue, the worst i have been to. Would have been better to play on land outside like they did for Hard Rock Calling.

It was a shame because the stones and gallagher were excellent.

Stratford is a nightmare even worse for our matches as the majority of our fans are heading back to East London and Essex - it's being rebuilt to cope, there must be 15 platforms of trains, plus the underground and the DLR yet they are all accessed by that one fairly small tunnel so get jammed straight away

luckily for me I use Stratford international back to Kent, which also means I don't need to use either of the two bridges that get the stop/start queue things

all the bars etc were in a weird different format too and the prices were massvely hiked up from football matches

Kentish Town

And, there is nothing around there in terms of drinking. Great for shopping mind you.

plenty at Stratford High Street and Hackney Wick

I use the bar in the Premier Inn by Stratford International. Right next to Tap East Ale place, usually half empty due to being on the first floor and not visible from outside

did you get back using the high speed train to St Pancras?

If so when come out the stadium instead of going over the massive bridge that the aquatics centre is on, go to the North, is a slightly longer walk but usually works out quicker

I think I paid 11 quid for a red wine and a water!

usually at matches beer is 3.50 for the first 45 mins then goes to 4.50 45 mins before kick off

a lot of the pop up bars were missing too, so I assume it was another company doing the catering

yeah they don't sniff or taste bottles as far as I know

they do make you remove the tops, but this is easy to avoid, just take the top off yourself before search point, put in pocket and put back on after

or get a non-metallic hip flask!

Vodka and coke it is then. Won't need as many pisses either so a bit of a bonus.

There's no way they're getting back together, Noel genuinely hates Liam for everything he said about his wife and the One Love concert. Plus they're both doing well solo and Noel always does things in 3 year cycles so his next tour will be around 2021.

If the Stone Roses can get back together anything is possible, that was genuine hate, not a dick measuring contest between two brothers.

Liam and Noel have always been dickheads to each other, it's just more public now and it keeps them in the public eye. They will get back together and it will pull in more money than either of them have ever made solo.
