I think it is probably either a hoax or a tribute band.

Ha ha ha. This must be the biggest wind up of all time.

UB40 - named after a document issued to people claiming unemployment benefit.

Oh the irony.

havent heard about it- but 30,000 does seem a teeny tiny bit optimistic if it ISNT The real deal!
The Northern Echo Arena is a 24,000 seater stadium home to Darlington Football Club.

Would be very nice if UB40 played up here!

Oooh! Give me high five, bro! I'm sure, if you read that, you had to be wondering about uk tour of UB40! I was so excited that they'll have a tour, that I'm so glad to share it! Let's go to buy a tickets and go there together to share emotions.

Brilliant back in the day, saw them a few times including Rotters in Liverpool but not sure I'd go now with all the infighting in the band.

I've seen posters for concert on local buses around town. Not interested as it doesn't involve the footie club and I see it as a last effort by the Rugby Club to stay afloat.

I saw UB40 years ago back home in a leisure centre... Suddenly they're going to fill the arena? Very ambitious

I heard it was going to be standing only, in an all seater stadium, bizarre.

With DFC paying DRFC's bills and then more rent for 20 years, they shouldn't be going bust.

DRFC are also making money from DFC fans on other provisions like food and drink.

If DFC had a share on music events, beer festivals, night time functions etc. there would be a far bigger income possibilities for the two clubs to share.

Take that sweet smelling cigarette and throw it down the toilet. That's it, well done. Now, get rid of those empty bottles, you've had quite enough of that strong stuff for one night. Now, clean your teeth, go to bed and when you wake in the morning, don't revisit this thread as you'll realise why everybody else on this board is having just a teeny weeny giggle at your expense.

Thanks

I think UB40 are dog eggs but it all raises the profile of the town so good stuff.

Level 42 have some good tunes, mind.
