I was speaking to a guy last week who did the PA for The Sisters on the 1985 tour (though he says it might have been earlier...)
He said Andy was such a nice guy that as a thankyou for the tour he took 5 of them to that years European Cup Final, with all expenses paid for by the good man himself.
How sweet.
He also said he hasn't seen
for years as he's turned into a hermit.
How sweet.
Any other stories about Von having a heart out there???

for some reason, he seems to be nicer to people who aren't in the band

Yep, a reminder of how
bad things were (and still are ?)

Never Forget:
The horrific scenes at the Heysel stadium unfurled shortly before the European Cup final when Liverpool fans charged towards Juventus supporters, causing a dividing wall to collapse and crushing fans to death. The final death toll was 39 - most of the victims were Italians.
Never Forget:
Bradford, Hillsborough......
Tragedies indeed, and if this were the final the Von took his crew to, I feel sorry for anyone who was witness to such atrocious behaviour and such a needless waste of life.
You call it "the bad old days", any footie fan who visits Hillsborough/Bradford etc STILL remembers, I know we lay a wreathe each year, whether we play em or not.
Never Forget.

By saying "a reminder of how bad things were" I express my hope that this will never happen again... and yes it should be remembered.
