Anyone going this weekend?

I'm going with a load of friends on the Saturday, so far the weather looks noticably better than the Sunday But who knows when the next monsoon will hit!

I'm not overly bothered about the warm up and if I'm honest the Cricket Ground isn't a good place to spend an entire day. Went to Ashcroft last year and the whole bar, food and toilets were a joke. Probably going to go down later on for Supergrass and Arctic Monkeys.

Went to the LCCC for 2 days to watch a test match in June and the facilities were more than adequate. Plenty of bars and food places. The arctic monkeys aren't even the best band on their own bill. Poor live IMO no craic with the crowd, no antics. quite dull

Watching cricket there and going to a gig there is pretty different. Theres quite a few extra people there.

Last year they had all the food and bars and toilets down in the bottom corner and it was basically grid-lock! The whole area next to the stand was just a mass of people. There weren't near enough toilets (they had port-a-loos aswell as the stand toilets). Not much of a problem for the guys, just go against the fence, but even women resorted to this, girls were squatting behind bins etc, NICE!

I'm going later and getting smashed beforehand.

It's a good venue visability wise though. As for them being ****, I've seen them many times and have always enjoyed it

Knew it would be terrible organisation, well done SJM concerts.

I only got there late at 530-600pm and I glad I did! I was VERY nicely tunned in already so only had to queue at the bar once, which took about an hour. Five pints purchased and I was set for the last of Supergrass and of course the arctics.

Arctic Monkeys were brilliant as ever, great interaction and a good laugh. Glad I wasn't there all day though.

Mared by - £3.10 for a pint which took an hour to get at least. Shocking priced food. One exit at the end. I saw serveral large brawls in the crowd. Toilets didn't really affect me as I only went once and managed to walk straight up to a urinal. My girlfriend who wasn't in the same group as me (tried finding her but gave up) queued for ages though.

A nice bonus was listening to the gig on the Sunday from the comfort of my apartment in Town! Yep, you could hear it 1.5miles away!

Great performance - ****ing shockingly **** venue

P.S - Managed to just spend £15 on 5 pints which I bought at the same time.
