mizer Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/8140230.stm Aberdeen Football Club is taking legal action over damage caused to its pitch during an Elton John concert five years ago. The SPL club claims the concert promoter Marshall Arts Ltd had said the cost of replacing the Pittodrie pitch would be covered by insurance. However, the club claims it has yet to be compensated for what is said to be a £36,000 bill after the 2004 concert. The club has lodged a claim at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

Harcus Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm sure Elton played a gig up in Inverness as well, so AFC should maybe get on the blower to see if Caley will support their claim. After all, That's What Friends Are For. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, That's What Friends Are For. Only one problem with that. AFC couldn't pay the phone bill because we're £36k out of pocket. Pocket ryhmes with rocket.
