Since Alan was announced, I did think 'maybe' guessing at £256 for the cheapest rooms and 2 Adult tickets though... I think I'm done travelling for Quo gigs/events...funny thing is my In Laws live around half an hour away, shame there's no 'On the day' admissions, unless someone knows different??

According to some, there's nothing for him to talk about I give up on these idiots, who call themselves "fans"

Did I read somewhere that Alan wasn't well enough to come over to Ricks funeral?
If so hope he's feeling better now You beat me to it I was going to mention that!
It seems a great shame (to me anyway) that he can come over for this but couldn't come over for Ricks funeral.
If I was in frail heath and having to travel for 24+ hours (I've done that trip to Oz) because a dear friend had died and I felt devastated. And I'd also have to see people I might not want to see. Or face public intrusion into my grief. I might decide not to go. However, to make the same trip and face people who are happy and excited to hear what I have to say, I'd could make the effort. I wasn't surprised that Alan didn't make the trip to Rick's funeral. I'm sure he was there in spirit and Rick would understand. And yes, I hope he's better now. And that his trip fulfils him.

I don't think it's a shame that he can, hopefully, come over for the convention. Although it was a shame he couldn't do so for Rick's funeral. However, we don't know the circumstances as to why that was the case. I think we can be confident that it wasn't a case of not being arsed / forgot what day it was on, or who Rick was / clashed with pre-arranged dental appointment, etc.

Ah just some arse. He better not use it as an opportunity to disrespect Francis apparently Some people ffs However, moving on, I doubt anyone here can answer that question about him playing. None of us know really how he is, health wise so... Maybe he'll be tempted to do Backwater

Unlikely.
DQ will have the whole place booked out now that Alan is gonna be there.
DQ: "So Alan, on a scale of 1-10, how much do you hate Francis?" AL: "Well, I.." DQ: "ANSWER ME!!!!!!"
fW booked for this a while back, it was rumoured that Al was going, but had seen it as my last quo outing.

I hope that Alan and John get asked about Francis and they say what they feel. The idea that no-one is allowed to talk about the blessed Francis unless it conforms to someone's ideal that he is a lovable old sage is absolutely ludicrous.
Francis doesn't want to work with Alan and John anymore so why should people tiptoe around the issue for his benefit? There is no friendship to be put at risk since he ended the friendship.

The poisoned one across the way believes no one has any interest in Alan and wouldn't buy anything with his name on it.

Lads, the other site is good for weather reports.
Seriously though, you've made your point about the site. No more comments about it please, unless it's on topic and not just a personal attack. We have a far wider variety of opinions on here, and one person's opinion doesn't make things fact, so don't worry about it.

I do agree that people should be able to talk freely but I think tiptoeing is still needed for a bit longer. True there's no chance of any more FF reunions now sadly, but I for one would like to see a reunion of all Rick's band mates, friends and family at a memorial concert to celebrate his life. Unfortunately that is difficult if everybody is slagging each other off.

Unfortunately that is difficult if everybody is slagging each other off. To be fair to Francis he gave his reasons for not wanting anymore gigs with the original band and even though I disagree with that he was very open with his views. I haven't seen anyone slagging each other off but happy to be corrected if this the case Cheers
