Nice one Joe! Didn't realise ER had hosted some sort of awesome baggy festival.
Slightly before my time I guess.
Interesting question since I am trying to avoid thinking about the game
tomorrow, but who do we think the best band to play ER is? I know Kaiser Chiefs
played last year ('everything is average nowadays' - it most certainly is
boys.) and we have Rod Stewart this Summer! Must be more.
Oh yeah, and I've done the tour. Won a competition in the News of the World
when I was a student, full exec piss up at ER to watch us get beat 0-4 by the
scousers. Got to meet Sven Eriksson and Mel C off of the spice girls. Great
photo of me and our kid in the dugout pretending to issue instructions to
imaginary players. Still, the result spoiled the day.
