Special show today. Wish you all lots of fun and a great performance.

If you get an opportunity today, do visit the Eel Pie Island Museum.
It opens at 12 noon & is well worth an hour of your time before you hit The Cabbage Patch pub (which is only 5-10 minutes walk away)

Nice one.

We had golden circle at Cardiff and it was really good.

Have a great time, everybody who is going.

Mr. DDD (Mike) and I were at the Cabbage Patch last night (I left after 4th tribute band song)
but I had a great time in Twickenham yesterday (Mike, you get that tattoo?)
Watched England in World Cup, in a pub, eating a steak pie.
Doesn’t get more English than that, lol.

I’m not Cabbage patching it tonight b4 show, but I am going to visit Eel Pie
(closed yesterday)

I have some info on RS Twickenham merchandise-

Hoping it would incorporate the Rose symbol, I have been watching the Twick Rugby gift shop.
Sure enough, online thru the Rugby gift shop, special design
[www.englandrugbystore.com]

I walked to the stadium earlier hoping to purchase (I LOVE it) but the Rugby gift shop is CLOSED, and staff/ security said they will remain closed.

I passed the RS merchandise tables being set up, NONE of the special Twick rose design were hanging up.

I purchased the shirt online just now to make sure I get it.

Are we sure it is open today? I may be mis-reading the website but can't see any mention of a special opening today (and they are usually shut on Mondays to Wednesdays).

We will be opening our doors on Tuesday 19th to welcome Rolling Stones fans in town for their gig at Twickenham Stadium Exactly 55 years ago to the day they played their ninth gig on Eel Pie Island!
We will have a mini 'Stones Special' exhibition on show, as well as one about the Thames Launches boats in the 60s.
AND a pop-up juice bar from the lovely Davina Roberts [punchandjuicy.org.uk] (a fellow recipient of Mayor of London funding who we met when at City Hall when we pitched for our money).
Come along and help celebrate one of the worlds greatest bands who will be rocking the socks off Twickenham next week Open 12 - 6pm.

My youngish kids are getting very excited about the show....!

I love that - is there even any official Stones Twickenham stuff? That one's much better and it's on order right now - sadly for delivery after 20th June!

It is complete hit & miss I'm afraid, the people in front of me got dreadful nosebleed seats, not even THE most eagle eyed bird of prey would be able to see the stage from THAT far away. They were obviously very disappointed. I was dreading opening the envelope when I went up to the counter, but there they were - 2 x Gold Circle Luck Dip tickets !!

I love it too. There may not be many, so I’d order it online (like I did)
I didn’t get the sweatshirt, but I want to! I also ordered from the website a mug w/ the Rose (not RS) and they have some t-shirts for $13.-$15. (Not RS!) but to me remind me of this show.

Officially at the merchandise stands is the no filter-ish rough painted tongue and the middle part of tongue colored blue, on a red shirt.

When I went to the Twick gift store, it’s being remodeled, that is why it is closed. Their website did not mention that, said it was open, that’s why I went. A venue employee told me the gift shop (since it’s been closed) sometimes puts out a table to sell in the meanwhile, but they will NOT today.

((the Twick tongue is the one Bjornulf posted above^^))

Thanks 35LOVE! I’ve now exceeded my Stones shirt budget for the year (8 shirts at the Merch stand earlier) plus 2 of these!

Was a fun English experience at Cabbage Patch for sure.

And yes, I did get the tattoo this AM, getting a British flag Stones toungue tatt, next to eel pie museum on show day, was a great way to end my UK mini-tour!
