Doors opened several hrs before the main event...I noticed captain america was down there as usual...he gets about. Im told the whole event was a 2500 sell out ....most people I know had a whale of a time...though I heard a few of the usual suspects bemoaning a few operational flaws... bevvies were £3.50 a pint ....beef rolls burgers £4.50 a pop and also a few moaning about the lack of views in the cheaper seats...

apart from that it seems to have been a rip roaring success, with many starry eyed fans meeting their spearing chucking heroes... the power..james "The machine " wade...marky webby webster and co stayed at the stradey park....where they were holding a massive jehovahs witness bash....darts people at a Bible bashers bash ....pretty bizarre cocktail that....anyhow I digress...this augers well for plenty more of the same please....exactly what this town needs some proper tidy entertainment.bravo
