Manchester music lovers and football fans will have the ultimate decision to make next Saturday, if a suitable solution can’t be found. It comes as Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott’s AO Arena show is set to clash with the England vs France World Cup match on December 10.
Beautiful South singer Paul took to Twitter to explain the dilemma, confirming that the band are ‘working on plans’ to show the match during the gig - but not everyone is happy about it.
Kick off for the match is 7pm, with doors for the arena opening at 7.30pm. While the game should be over by the time Paul and Jacqui take to the stage at 9pm, it would certainly clash with support act Billy Bragg.
