Take That at Boro

[Old Prestonian]

There were two, 2009 and 2011.

Groupie alert.

Sure they struggled to sell the newcastle arena last time.

I know. I went to both, erm our lass and the bairns obviously. The Circus was better if I was to offer an opinion

All coming out @foggy now - secret Take that fan and blaming the kid. All that anaesthetic taking its toll!!

If you look at the tour dates you’ll see they’re doing arenas and small grounds.
As a trio without Robbie they clearly feel they wouldn’t fill bigger venues.

i think this is more near why they're playing boro... didnt elton john not playing the darlington arena one year for sort of the same reason?

Horses for courses, Riverside seems about the right size for TT at this moment in time.

I thought the income into the club was minimal though, and not worth the hassle?

Surely minimal is better than nowt tho plus it's good for local businesses and the area in general.

Being the charley big bollocks in the higher leagues the income was Chicken shit, but imagine it’d be much more significant in our current position.

The club is the nucleus of the city in a way, and it’s the wider social and economic responsibility that it has is what was ignored by the last couple of knackers in charge, I suspect the current regime may well look to get them back on though, and sure they’ve mentioned it in an interview.

Yes it's the drugs! I haven't used that one for a least 2 days, cheers my good man.

Take That’s 2009 Circus Tour opened at the SoL, no Robbie (or ‘daft lad’ as you call him). It was fantastic. The one with daft lad was two years later. Also opened at the SoL.

We were at both and both were fantastic nights - the first without the daft lad was better.

Totally agree. Walking back across the bridge after the Circus I rang Mr P, who’d snootily stayed in London thinking TT was girly shite, and said we are gonna beg steal or borrow to get tickets for this at Wembley in a months time and you won’t regret it. He loved it too.

Will bring money into Middlesbrough so good stuff in my opinion.

The elephant was the highlight.

I’ll admit to seeing them a few times since at arenas. Always put on a good show.

They're a busted flush now.

We had them to open a tour when the daft lad came back to join the other 4 once the money was worth it for him. Now they're a very shit BeeGees (who were canny ok) busking to pay for the tax dodges.

Spot on Foggy. Hope you're recovering well, by the way.
