  1. last year they played in Rome in october when the football season was started since one month or more


  2. I think it's no problem at all when they play mid-week.... so starting to build up The Claw on Sunday, have the show on Wednesday and be gone from the stadium on Friday night so there can be a soccer game on Saturday

    No big club would risk it. The playing surface in Sheffield and Glasgow was destroyed last year after the gigs.


  4. Sheffield is an athletics field and the Hampden pitch was relaid immediately afterward so no issues there.

    The cost of new turf would be included in negotiations with the venue. As someone pointed out earlier, the home of both Lazio and Roma was used for a gig this October and the pitch is used every week.

    Ha ha - things have came a long way since Zooropa. Celtic Park was decimated after the gigs. You could see the walkway a b stage outlines on the pitch for weeks after it!!

  5. Relaying is fine but clubs like Barcelona and most premier league clubs wouldnt risk it mid season. If the boys want to play Europe they will make it work.

    I take your point on the risk aspect but Roma and Lazio both done it with no problem a few months ago.

    Big clubs frequently relay pitches during the season.
  7. Hope they sort something either way. The Aviva will be free anyway.


  9. It'd have to be Aviva for September yeh, All Ireland finals in September.
  10. Some other news on Bucharest:

    “We know for sure there will be a concert in September expected to gather 60,000 people. There are talks with a a company promotinh the band U2. If it will not be U2, then it will be one of the best five-six bands […],” said Bogdan Hreapca, head of investments in the Bucharest City Hall.

    “It is true we would like to bring a band like U2 in Romania to inaugurate the stadium, but it is still early to say whether we will manage to do so,” Hreapca went on.

    Hope it'll be U2 then!

    (If not, DM will do, for me )
  11. I think that there are "talks" is very positive! That suggests they're at least going to Europe

    Now let's just hope that they come to Gothenburg
  12. I really can't understand why don't they just ask us??

    We'd tell them where to go in no time so they shouldn't bother with finding it out themselves
