    That's like they are actively trying to turn away last minute business!

    They obviously have a plan in mind but I don't see it being successful.

    They'll create no atmosphere in the markets field with that tactic.

    I wouldn't know the figures but I'd assume last minute business would be high numbers, especially at Limerick because apart from buying tickets on match night the only place in the city you can buy them in advance is a butcher's on the northside of Limerick.

    The plan in mind is trying to get more people to buy tickets online I'd say, but if you're aiming for that should leave the prices as they are but offer a discount to buy online not charge folk extra for the A games because they didn't buy online.

    They'll know if we draw Waterford (who they class as an A game) on a weekday and they struggle to break 700.

    Hurting but not massively. Looked away for a split second, didn't notice some red lights had turned, hit a car from behind :/ Wasn't speeding, but the lights are pedestrian ones, are nearly always green, and had slipped my mind as to the fact they were there. Completely my own fault. Sore, but we were all able to drive away. More of a fright than anything serious, though my back, chest and shoulder are all feeling beat up. Already have pain meds for a dodgy hip I have so I'll recover.
    Not looking forward to the financial end of it, mind...

    Going to my last concert of the year next Saturday

    Queen with Adam Lambert (he's some US American idol guy). Videos on YouTube look quite good and who doesn't love Queen. Going to enjoy a few drinks before hand watching the rugby

    Amazing year of concerts for me (will do up list later)

    Have you ever seen the guy that sings for the Official Queen Cover Band? He's amazing. I quite enjoyed Paul Rodger's run with Queen too.. He didn't try to do a karaoke of Freddie, put his own spin on the songs.

    Glad you're ok tsc, I'd take Liz's advice and get checked over by a doctor though.

    There's a video on youtube called Kids React to Queen (can't link to it, still at work) and I thought it was really cool how many of them were able to sing along considering Freddie Mercury 26 years ago this week.

    I'd say Lambert is doing quite well considering he didn't win AI

    A lot of people are saying queen and esp Brian May have sold out a bit and going down the pop/Simon Cowell/X factor etc route. A lot of fans have said they should of hired the guy from the offical tribute band.

    my gigs for 2017 we're
    Jan- Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed
    Jan- Black Sabbath
    May- Iron Maiden
    June- Aerosmith
    June- Guns N Roses (London)
    July- U2
    Oct- Metallica (Glasgow)
    Nov- Queen and Adam Lambert

    awesome list and it's a great but expensive hobby

    2018 so far is Tears for fears, Foo Fighters in Manchester and Billy Joel. hopefully I'll add more

    Queen should've ended when Paul Rodgers split in 2009.

    Far as I'm concerned, Freddie & Paul are the only Queen vocalists that should be acknowledged. F*** Adam Lambert.

    possibly that's why it's always billed as Queen+ Adam Lambert ???. it was billed as Queen+ Paul Rodgers in the past. Queen itself will always be remebered and is Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon (retired) and Freddy (RIP)

    hope the movie coming out next Xmas will do the legacy justice.

    Queen + Paul Rodgers I can understand, they've put in the miles over their careers.

    What's Lambert achieved, a 2nd place finish on American Idol, to me anyways he's a stain on the Queen legacy.

    modern day music politics may of got Lamebrt the gig ???. he did sing a lot of queen on AI and Brian May is great associates with British talent show higher ups !!!. He might get another generation into Queen music. honestly I would not of heard of him if he didn't join Queen

    Well if Adam Lambert is anyone's way into Queen's music/back catalogue, then I'd be avoiding them like the plague.

    Granted I don't follow football that closely, but I'm really surprised at how bad Dortmund have been in the Champions league. Thought Spurs would be hard pressed to get through to the next stage, certainly didn't picture them topping the group.

    Well it's not so surprising giving their form in the Bundesliga. Appointed a very ordinary manager who has achieved little outside a Europa League cup run.
    Very poor defence with Kagawa & Goetze starting in a midfield 3 your asking for trouble.

    Yeah, after I posted there I had a look at the Bundesliga. Guess I just remember them playing well a few years ago, then haven't paid enough attention to them since that time.

    cheating on Football Manager 2018 and managing Waterford FC but editing the Finance and reputation. I think the transfer balance is E70 million and i have players signed from all over the world including ex and current internationals. Im winning the league by 15 points half way through the season. Go promoted to the Premier Division in 2017 and won the FAI Cup too

    Would it work in real life if a suger daddy bought an Irish club and made them into a power house ???. It would prob end up like the Scottish league

    Could easily happen if said sugar daddy didn't mind losing a **** ton of money. Is this years version of FM any good, haven't bought it since FM 15?
