Gutted we are not now going to see Robbie Williams

Jan16
Yes I know the Knights Hill roundabout,can be a nightmare too.
Hope there havent been any accidents today

Oh for the days of my youth. In the 80s I saw Springsteen at Wembley and the Stones at Roundhay Park in Leeds. Both were disappointing because of the time lag between sound and vision reaching us. Never again.

It was different when I was young. The venues were Hammersnith Odeon, Albert and Festival Halls, Roundhouse, Saville Theatre and Finsbury Park Astoria. It was much easier back then.

I think it's appalling the way the concert organisers restrict what yo can and can't do. Many years ago we The Jam at Hammersmith. Sitting up in the circle some younger people stood up to dance at their seats. The bouncers just threw them out and didn't even give them the chance to sit back down.

We went, we survived and will fill you in later. Off to Wells now so will fill in the details later.

So…. We set off at5pm. It normally takes us about 20mins to get to Sandringham. It took us 3hours last night. It took longer than anticipated because the blue car park which we were heading for was full so we clashed with the red car park attendees.
Although the route was clearly indicated a lot of local fans thought they could bypass the instructions and caused a bit of aggression.
Anyway there were 4 of us so we passed the time playing I-spy and putting the world to rights.
So… we finally arrived at 20.05pm.
By this time we all needed the loo…. But the loos before we went in had a long queue and it looked as though there were quite a few that were out of commission. We decided to wait till we got inside.
The bag checks and ticket checks went very easily then we were in.
First stop toilets….OMG they were horrendous. We did go to tell the customer service team that they were in a terrible state.
They were extremely nice but said that although they were aware of the problem it really couldn’t be fixed. Totally lovely.
We decided that we would not be availing ourselves of the drink outlets anywhere on site in case we may have needed the loo again.
We propped ourselves up by some railings and awaited the ‘Kings’ arrival.
He started exactly on time.
He should stick to singing. His language between songs was appalling. At one point he spoke to a woman called Linda in the front row. She wanted him to sign an autograph. He told her that he was busy playing to his fans. She could shove her pen up her f…… a….
In between songs he was totally obnoxious.
Both myself and my friends have heard most rude words before but Robbie is a master of filth.
We left after about 6 numbers.
The best bit of the night was that we missed the appalling mess that we anticipated when it finished.
I think that the event organisers were greedy, perhaps they should have increased the basic price and reduced the numbers attending? It wasn’t their fault that RW was a total d…
It was total bedlam and I think this may have been my/our last outside event.
Primrose you missed nothing that was pleasurable.

PamelaJ1 - oh no! Thanks so much for such a detailed report. Several people I know have reported that they went on Sat night and said RW was excellent and they loved every minute. The local papers also said he had the audience in the palm of his hand all night.

I did hear the queues were horrendous and the toilets not good at all. One friend left Sheringham at 5pm and finally got parked at 8.30 and into the event at 8.50 so not long before RW started.

My friend and I are going to have a posh afternoon tea with our refunds.

Thanks again and sorry you didn’t have a good evening.

Enjoy your afternoon tea.
It was an experience…not one that I want to repeat. I can’t imagine why the f word is so beloved of so many.
You won.
They say that you only regret what you don’t do! … don’t regret not going to this…I did it for you🥴
