Ask me a question and I'll answer it, but not with an answer for the question you ask - that won't be pedantic at all.

Not sure you understand what pedantic means

You really haven't a clue what you are talking about and you deserve all the slagging your getting on this thread.

There were none.. ZERO arrests at the Stone Roses gig there just nice cool people and great music, as opposed to badly dressed red necks with limited brain cells.

How are they in a row if there are day breaks between them?

They're not. Are we expected to believe the one day break in 7 - 8 concerts changed everything for the residents in those areas?

I suppose if your stuck again you can call people names again. If you're so interested start a stone roses thread and see how you get on, organise a concert for them and see how many tickets you manage to sell.

You may well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

This thread is descending into petty squabbles......

Great, who cares though. If other cities can take 7 and 8 gigs in the space of 10 days why can't Dublin take 5?

Surely just from looking at those you can see the logistics of getting 80,000 in and out are completely different.

No, you said Glasgow has 2 stadiums with 80,000 capacity.

I thought you didn't deal in the past.

Wrong again. That's 3 times I've proven you wrong. There is no more I can do with your posts.

Very impressive that they did so many, but if you read it, its not consecutive nights, they had a couple of nights off.

They still played 5 nights in a row, in front of just under 80,000 people each night.

I doubt the 2 nights they did have off had anything to do with planning limitations or the NIMBY brigade either

This is exactly my argument. The only reason I'm rooting for the gigs to go ahead is because I'm so f*cking sick of living in the country where for some reason we can't manage things which are par for the course elsewhere.

Unless something has changed since I was last there, Wembley Stadium can hardly be considered to be in a residential area. More like a big industrial estate.

I suppose if your wrong about everything else then toodle pips might be best for you

And will never change the fact there are numerous other cities in the world, as DCC will find out to their cost.

Glasgow alone has two.

Keep up, it will never change the fact there are numerous other cities in the world, with a competent honest planning system as well, as DCC will find out to their cost.

The old Maine Road stadium would have been in an area very like Croke Park, with a lot of housing very close to it. Oasis did 2 nights there in 1996, and could probably have sold out more, as tickets were changing hands outside for stupid money. I wonder were they only given permission for 2, or did they even try to go for more?

when? I've looked at the dates, and can't see 5 in a row.

Michael Jackson also played there for 7 nights (5 in a row) in 1988.

It's in my Guinness Book of records for attendance figures.

It's more ironic how it complains that the DCC are corrupt because they won't make corrupt decisions. OH to be young and stupid again

Wembley isn't in slap bang in the middle of a residential area, as in there's a zone around it, not streets leading right up to the entrances. Secondly, the transport links are much better. You simply can't compare the two without taking such factors into consideration.

Glad Brooks showed up DCC and the haters in Ireland for what they all are

First thing I Googled was 'Wembley Stadium Gigs'

2011, Take That played to a total of 623,737 people over 8 consecutive nights

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_Live#Tour_dates

That was the first stadium I googled. No doubt there are many similar examples

Wembley isn't in a densely populated area and has the London transport system which is far better than Dublin

Sorry, he did 3 consecutive nights, day off, then 2, then back the following month for another 2.

Showed the DCC up for being law abiding and sticking to the rules? Again i will point out that a licence applied for is not a licence guaranteed.

I googled "Garth Brooks concerts cancelled" and got About 4,620,000 results (0.31 seconds)

So ten times the number of tickets!
