QuoteTumlin73 Absolutely gutted on hearing about the passing of Terry Hall. My sister is a big fan of the specials and one of the best days for me was going to see the specials & Stones at Coventry with my sister.

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl First - as was the case 3 weeks ago - there were no signs directing to the Box Office. Lucky Dips are usually at a separate box office, and most staff at the Stadium didn’t know what they even were, let alone where they were. Finally found the place way at the back after walking forever. I was pretty crushed, after having the first show cancelled and coming all this way b
