Elton John Concert At Ewood

[blueboy3333]

WAR will get all misty-eyed looking up to Big Baz in the Directors box when Elton cranks it up to eleven on the ballad-ometer:-

What I got to do to make you love me?

What I got to do to make you care?

What do I do when lightning strikes me?

And I wake to find that you're not there

What I do to make you want me?

What I got to do to be heard?

What do I say when it's all over?

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?

[AndyNeil]

Is this the first time a concert has been held on the Ewood Park pitch?

On the whole I think it is a good thing. He's not my cup of tea but undoubtedly is a big name in the world that will hopefully attract a big crowd to Blackburn and help both the club and local businesses. Concerts and international matches are regularly held at rivals' grounds, it's something that has been neglected in this part of the world over the last few years. These are the sort of things that will get non-Blackburn Rovers supporting people to visit Blackburn, spend their money and use the hotels etc.

Rock FM had some sort of concert back in the early 2000's with loads of different acts on...apart from that I can't really remember anything else.

Some crsppy girl fake band

[bob fleming]

Who's his agent?

Saturday night's alright (for Venky bashing)

Burnley fans will be there destroying the toilets.

[rog of the rovers]

Should be a good night! Will look into tickets.

[tomphil]

A nice way to calm the natives after we've dropped into league 1 maybe ?

Oh, hold on a minute...

Won't calm me, can't stand the bloke.

Whatever happened to acorn?

[tomphil]

Acorn ate some of that chicken after opening those shops and has never been seen since.

[broadsword]

Don't go breaking my club
I couldn't if I tried
I think it's administration
Baby please don't cry

Don't go breaking my club
We'll sign Wes Brown on a free
When the bailliffs knock on the door
I'll have to give them the key

Nobody knows it
When were down
Venky's were clowns
Nobody knows it
Jerome Anderson
Kean was his chum
Reamed us up the bum

So don't go breaking my club
I won't go breaking your club
Don't go breaking my club

And nobody told us
`Cause nobody showed us
And up to our necks in debt, babe
There's no way we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put us bang up the creek
When Ewood's gone up in flames
Will we be rid of you creeps?

[K-Hod]

I think he died from embarrassment, or food poisoning.......

[tomphil]

Maybe his reward for helping open those shops was a share in Rovers and now he's kicked back in Brunei and never had to work since as the Rovers royalties roll in

Question - if the club goes into administration - could this still go ahead?

For me light bulbs should be pinging here - we surely have to be able to use this to our advantage somehow

If we interrupt an Elton John concert do you think it would go down well with the general public?

A good way to lose any sympathy we ever had in my opinion. The media would just show us up to be a bunch of disruptive thugs. Think about it.

Depends whether it is a humorous interruption.

To be fair Elton John is a football guy and a past owner. Could he be persuaded to don a sparkly venkys out tshirt at some stage?

[philipl]

At least a good crowd to chant Venky's Out.

Being serious, I cannot see the Raos resisting the wish to be there rubbing shoulders with Elton John.

There will be loads of dark-windowed limos drawing up so the crowd will conclude the Raos are in town even if they are not.

Now that would be brilliant and the publicity would be good in that case.

[Lancaster Rover]

Does Chaddy think people should get behind him. ?

I bet there has been a few fellas who've 'gotten behind' Elton, or visa versa.......................

[tomphil]

Eltons the biggest diva in pop music, disrupt one of his concerts at your peril

If he was a true football man he'd refuse to play a stadium owned by club wreckers.

You can well imagine Barry Rao turning up for it.

Exactly - nobody mentioned about interrupting it - more about using it to our advantage

Would it still go ahead though if we went into administration?

Knowing the Rao's they put us in to administration just after the concert. With a knackered pitch for spite.

[yoda]

Is it Balaji's coming out do

And I guess that why the call it the blues.................Bar
