Oasis reunion

I sat on the second row of the top tier at Wembley for the 2023 FA Cup final and had to grab the waistband of the lad’s jeans in front of me to stop him falling over the edge. He was on his way over after losing his balance.

It’s not very safe at all there. The wall is only above knee height if you’re tall.

Unsure how it doesn’t happen more often at Wembley. I know it did happen in the 2020(2021) Euros as well though.

Yeah I went to Wembley for something regarding my job a few years back and I was walking up near the top tier where the ledge is. I'm pretty tall and said to the person with me that it wouldn't take much to go over it.

Mind you, it's happened twice (at least) in the last 4 years...that's still quite a lot. Premier league ground get used a lot more and it rarely ever happens. Twice in four years in the same stadium probably shows the ease of it happening compared to other grounds
 
Was fortunate enough to get front standing for the first night at Wembley and it was genuinely amazing. Even during their tours of America I was probably never this close. A legendary evening.



We went to the final night at Heaton Park as well but didn’t get the front standing lotto so the view was not quite as good but it was amazing as well. Got a proper Manc experience with the rain and spent a few nights up north so was able to do the Etihad and CFA Tour amongst other things.

New York/New Jersey on August 31 is up next.

Renis were big 89-92 and were very common at City matches, gigs and raves.

Made a resurgence at gigs when the Roses tribute bands started popping up 97ish.

Made another resurgence when the Roses returned in 2012 and 2016 and a further one with the Oasis reunion. Oasis fans, through their link to Manchester have piggybacked it. It was always a Roses thing.

Outside of those periods you might see the odd one or two at festivals.

Its always been a Reni hat, to me.

I was too young for the Stone Roses first time round but once I started going to City regularly in the early 90's, I always had a bucket hat. I threw one on the pitch during the lap of honour in 91 or 92 and Steve McMahon picked it up and put it on. I don't remember it being an Oasis thing but I probably wore a City one for the Maine Road gigs, or at least one of them.

I was bought one for my birthday in 1999 and it's been everywhere with me, including the Heaton Park gig three weeks ago (the first Saturday night). I also have a 1.FC Koln one now.

It was one of my mates it happened to at the Euros, to say he was lucky would be an understatement - he was in hospital for months after but now back to normal
 
Well the circus rolls into Edinburgh this week
Luckily I miss the first 2 dates as im in Palermo but might try and get into the last night on the 12th.
Huge pop up shop opened on George Street and merch actually looks decent
 
Very sad and freaked out after seeing the picture in news to find out the guy that fell at Wembley was next to me during the gig , saw the picture of the couple and recognised straight away.
Was with him arm in arm singing along all night.

Jeez, that’s rough :(

Without being too blunt, I’m guessing you’d already left by the time the incident occurred? It happened at the end I think and remember you saying you leave early?

Seriously thinking about going to Buenos Aires to see Oasis in November.

I get my annual bonus in November.

I’m 57.

Life is too short.

You can’t take it with you.

A once in a lifetime trip.

Oasis, the iconic River Plate stadium, Buenos Aires, fuck it, I’m going!

The best crowds are there,so you should do it.

I always wondered why Anfield doesn't have more concerts when you consider it has the best atmosphere in the UK, it's the closest atmosphere to the likes of River Plate, especially when the Kop gets going! It would be electric for gigs.

It would not have the same raucous atmosphere without all the Scandinavians or Irish in attendance.

They’d sell fuck all tickets as they’d all be jibbing in.
