Oh & those going to Nottingham, Its now saying virtually all roads in West Bridgeford will be closed(ones near ground)
Strange as Forest are advertising a pickup/drop off zone that the Council are now saying is a closed road as are the ones surrounding?

Can't believe its come round so quick. 9th June Sunderland for us.
Does anyone have any tips on parking for Sunderland? Never been before so no idea best spots to park.

Isnt Stadium of Light North East

Ah just seen that. Not my first choice, would have preferred Boro again but I'll look at the dates before I say no (work in a school so term time is hard!)

We did Nottingham on the last tour as it was half term and we used to live there so an excuse to go back to old haunts! Plus it was a smaller stadium so a great view wherever you were!

The Circus 2.0 looks 99% likely only question is will it be 3, 4 or 5?

 

[HiyaCath!]

Oh yes, that crop top was amazing! To be fair, it's a great music video! Love a bit of Mark Owen... My husband got me this mug for Xmas after last year's tour reignited my Mark crush

Yeah, I'd still love a bit of Mark too
That's so cute he bought you that!

There's an album listening party in Germany on the 3rd of September with the band doing a Q&A so I'm guessing the release won't be too much longer.

When are they on the One Show? Is that going to be the announcement or just discussing it?

 

[bowtiesarecool]

Got our ponchos ready!!! On our way down to Nottingham now, the rain has been horrendous

Well we got here and it was sunny, but the thunder and rain has arrived Hopefully it won't last!

What time is the announcement do you know ?

I also want to know

 

[Multi-21]

I saw Gary did an IG where he said an album was coming. It was a bit odd as he said he was really proud of it but it only really came together at the 11th hour which also made it sound like up until that point it wasn’t actually great in his opinion.
He then went on to say there was an announcement for European fans who he didn’t like to think of as thinking they were an after thought but they are an afterthought.

I keep forgetting Olly is the supporting act! Is it true he sings It Only Takes a Minute? X

Yep! He was really good.

 

[pixxyy]

What time is the announcement do you know ?

Gary did mention it on an Instagram post in 2019 when he was posting about different tours.

I think they are taking a bit of a risk. I would say the 2009 tour and era was when they were at the height of their fame. And Jason is missing this time. I feel for those of us that experienced it back then, it could just never feel the same? I really thought they may have done a reimagined circus tour so it respected the 2009 tour but still felt fresh and more fitting with TT3. Because it will be impossible to recreate the feeling the 2009 tour gave. But I think this is also why they are going full whack with the promo. They really have a lot of tickets to sell compared to recent arena tours.

That said I am still really excited and will get tickets, and just enjoy it for what it is and be grateful they are still giving us tours.

I’m honestly in two minds about it. Some of the stadiums were on the last tour. I’m going to be really horrible but it was a total Prosecco fest the last tour I went to, and I couldn’t cope with that. My issue though!

I got front standing for the Friday in London. Went really smoothly using Seetickets but I could see that tickets were selling fast!

I'm sure the first stadium gig I did (Circus 2009) the whole pitch and first tier seating was General Admission and cost about £45-50. I don't remember any special VIP areas. We pretty much walked up to the B stage, no cordons etc. If you wanted front row you got there early. I'm going to be in the cheap seats but at least I'll be able to rest my middle aged legs for a while only downside of seated is all the people who don't stand up to dance then tut and sign when you do!

Think you're right as I'm sure we ended up in the first tier of seats right next to the stage. Great view and a seat was a bonus.

 

[RainbowFuzz]

oh that was such a big moment in original tour so hopefully they keep it the same

I really hope so! Part of me wants to unfollow everything so it's a huge surprise on the day I go, but the other part of me wants to know so I can manage my expectations

 

[PollyPerks]

Bit annoyed that the song they've released today is not the one they teased!

Edit: just realised they haven't actually released a song today but announced it for next Friday. I want the Mark song damnit!

At least we know the album title and tour dates now, but still no release date.

 

[Tinky Winkys Handbag]

No, still waiting for mine. I keep checking my spam folder too just in case, but nothing x

 

[Sammiejayne444]

Sooooo pissed off with the whole thing now! I managed to jump on this morning, despite thinking I wouldn't have the time, bagged 2 tickets straight away, got through to payment and accidentally made a typo in my email address. It wouldnt let me correct it, the box was greyed out and unclickable. The basket timed out and I lost them nothing available where I want now so going to have to wait and see if anything comes up later. TBH I don't think I can be arsed any more!

I've had colleagues this morning try and the prices have been super inflated by some of the tickets agencies

It always felt quite big, the age gap between Robbie and Mark and then the other three … Howard and Jason felt mature for a boyband! I remember my mum’s mates genuinely fancying Howard they felt manly compared to say the One Direction boys, who were very much a “boy” band.

I'll be honest and say the only one I remember is Mark who claimed to be the same age as Robbie but was actually born in 72. I can't remember how much the others took off but didn't think it was that much.
