frank_spencer Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Really shows up how ill informed news people are when they talk about a city you're familiar with. Total confusion for ages on both Sky and BBC about how close Arena is to Victoria, it's attached to it ffs. Somewhere else saying there'd be 30-40k in the Arena tonight as well, come on. Seeing a lot of reports about people opening their doors to anyone lost/stranded tonight. Fine gestures those. Its a 28k venue at maximum capacity. Still a shit load of people in one place but not quite 40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morizio Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Bbc have a witness on called Karen ford, they've played the interview a few times now. She said that she's home and lives in Sheffield. That's some distance to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted May 23, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2017 All terrorism is cowardly but a kids concert is so far below the belt it's lower than a snakes stomach. Let's not pussyfoot around and be all p.c, this will be a filthy Muslim fanatic. I'm in no way tarring all with the same brush but it's about time they got fingered by their own as having radical tendencies. Families and friends must have their suspicions of some of the twisted, Stone Age fooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted May 23, 2017 Author Site Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2017 This is far far too close to home. I'd imagine everyone on here has been to the arena at some point (I was there 2 weeks ago) and know the place very well.
