Have you caught McVicar?s production of Die Zaberflote at the Garden yet? Magnificent. Pass the Burgundy.....

Very kind season ticket holder. Let me know where you are sitting and I will give you a wave.

Depending on where you are sitting tickets normally from ?40 - ?100

I enjoyed it all the same LadyG. I'd forgotten how seriously some fans take things....one overheated guy near me was bouncing up and down in his seat saying he was going to sue the club and "bring his boots for a game next time".


The Monaco ultras were quite impressive too....


The Emirates though - amazing ground, amazing pitch but can't help feeling it lacks some atmosphere compared to the old Highbury which I went to once as a kid. It has a sort of NFL American corporate feel about it?

I hope you remembered to point that out MrB. Although I think its par for the course at most grounds, Arsenal may be slightly worse.


The only trouble with the old Highbury was the football was sh1t. :)

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks

      By SophieA · Posted

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Fireworks

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
