Given that it is concert time the weather forcast is looking decidedly gloomy for the Radiohead gig on Sunday, question is will the ground be fit for the Hampshire game in July or will their Chief Exec blow a fuse again?

Don't care.
I've switched sides this year.
My only trip to OT this year will be for the concert.

| And what a concert it was! Fantastic gig by Radiohead, first time I've seen them, they didn't disappoint. |

Looking at the webcam there seemed to be a fair few at the concert - more than when we play Derbyshire/Durham/Yorkshire for the umpteenth time.

| Apparently 41,000 tickets were sold. So if the club is still going to bang on about having no money for the redevelopment, I suggest they're lying. |

REM are also playing at OT at the end of August, and the "face value" of a ticket is £45.
How was the concert Carl? (or did you mean August) |

The club will be lucky to make £100k out of the gig, the ground will cost tens of millions. |

With you on this one GA,are those covers on the outfield to give the mud chance to dry out or those special covers to induce grass growth? |
