Divan seats were two seats slightly angled towards each other without an armrest between them. Designed to make heavy petting between consenting couples easier. But not much good for teenage headbangers like us trying to stand on them and invariably breaking them or falling down the row in front. Ah the memories!

Divan seats sounds like something they should bring back, they’d probably charge an extra £50 for them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most matches I went to I left pissed off Support a better club, thats solves lots of problems. And sport is the only other thing next to gigs which can involve loads of people and you have to figure out how much youre willing to pay for the experience. We're going to involve theater, comedy, opera, ballet? Theyre all set up in a certain way to give the same result. Sports and gigs are the unpredictable ones and obviously provide a varying range of memories and emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is an emotional attachment. Win lose or draw, promotion or relegation, you just can’t turn away from something you have supported all your life. You live in hope! Whereas music is based on your current taste, its an easy decision whether or not to see a band. Edit, Glastonbury is an exception, it has a tremendous emotional attachment!

balti-pie Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 “Support a better club” ffs, that’s ridiculous 😂 it’s literally impossible, I’m well over three decades embedded into my particular set of useless twats.

All those memories of great escapes, back to back promotions, the 6 European away days I went to, the finals and semis at Wembley were such a waste of time. What was I thinking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have to get aboard Chelsea and abandon any thoughts of supporting any other useless club. It’ll be Man City the year after and probably Newcastle the year after that so at least it’ll be varied! It’ll be a right bugger getting tickets though, seeing as we’ll all be supporting the same club, but at least it’ll be successful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re fundamentally misunderstanding the concept of support. It's a really interesting one though on an intellectual level. People who deem themselves to be 'real' football fans for example tend to follow shit teams that play bad football. That wouldn't translate to any other hobby. Imagine saying that you are such a big food fan that you eat meals by people who patently can't cook and it tastes horrible. It is more akin to religion which I always say to my devoutly atheist husband 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyjarman Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Never really get the football/gig comparisons, totally different beasts but I guess with a tour you can try and pick a decent venue on a night that suits! Just seen Red Rum Club in Grimsby this evening for about £14 quid, buy one get one free! Full to the brim, great to see. Football will survive, small venues might not. Gotta do our bit!

blutarsky Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Too right. We've got ten gigs lined up between now and Glastonbury. Gerry Cinnamon is the biggest name on the list by a distance. We are looking at a combined ticket cost of £400 for those gigs, all at small venues. Because of where we live we need accommodation after each. Plus fuel to get there. Bottom line is, we will probably only go to two of them, and that will still cost us £300+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ever gig at the Apollo was Johnny Cash on the 5 and 6 September 1973 - followed by The Rolling Stones on the 16 September 1973 Never did I get up to Clouds - my name was on the House guest list {its a long story} so it should have been easy but each time I tried there as always a big battle between Punters and Security so would give it a miss + there was a disco close to it that was not well knowing so did not attract the Nutters.
