Looks like ticket sales for both gigs have been awful, East and North stands both shut, probably going to run at a loss, but at least they can host gigs at the ground they don’t legally own

Shame really. I would have loved to have seen The Who play live. 50 years ago.

Sorry but the Who and an Orchestra should never be put together.

To be fair they should have chucked it years ago but after you've played the biggest and best stadiums in the world how can you resist the lure of Poorhouse Lane?

Ill start the poop storm as Brexit was what was needed for this country.
Unfortunately we didnt and dont have a strong enough united Government and neither a fit for purpose Civil Service to carry out the nations wishes.
