They've got too big for us small people now like. I've got a scar above my eyebrow that leaked blood like a running tap after someone twatted me at the Blackpool gig and I e-mailed Geoff to see if he could point me in the direction of anyone who could shed light on the incident. I blacked out when the blow hit and all I can remember is pulling myself up off the floor. Sadly, no-one's bothered to acknowledge my request and I am completely in the dark as to what happened.
Ah, heard about this and v. sorry to hear it was you mate. The incident apparently happened behind me, so I was oblivious till I read the reviews on hmhb.co.uk, having thoroughly enjoyed the gig meself. At least 4 of the 6 reviews on there mention it. One of the reviews even contains the immortal phrase "I don't care if you are 'Wigan's top boys', enough is enough, you're spoiling it for everyone, etc"
All I know is the last couple of years those 2 blokes have been looking for a scrap, so I always tell everyone just ignore them when they shove/ elbow you etc, even had to tell my female mate to just ignore them this time cos they would have merrily twatted her & then me too ...
I might be sounding a bit like some studenty type who doesn't like a proper arl mosh (and so are those reviews maybe to someone else who wasn't there), but no, I'm a proper centre half and I like a good mosh up, as long as elbows are down like .... but those two lads are something else...
So neither of us was right, it was maybe a bit more Annie Road than Kop or Cowshed ...
