Saturday night is definitely not alright for fighting according to people objecting to Sir Elton John's upcoming concert in Leicester.
The pop legend is set to perform at Leicestershire County Cricket Club on Saturday June 11 as part of a nationwide tour when some 17,500 fans are expected to fill the Aylestone venue.
However some residents are worried about the impact of drawing in large numbers of potentially rowdy fans for the night and are opposing the cricket club's application for a licence.
The club needs Leicester City Council's permission to stage live music and sell alcohol to Sir Elton's fans between 4.30pm and 11.30pm on the day.
A handful of residents have written to council licensing officer opposing the club's application on the grounds it will lead to crime and disorder.
One objector said: "Having this number of visitors in such a small area will place residents' personal safety and property security at risk.
"Some residents feel they have no choice but to move out during the disruption leaving their premises liable to break-in or vandalism."
Another warned Sir Elton's arrival could lead to aggravated burglaries.
Other concerns have been expressed about the event such as the fear that gardens near the venue will be used as toilets and that children will lose sleep because of the noise of the crowd and Elton's tunes affecting their school performance in the weeks that follow.
Other concerns are that the club - which is more used to hosting 3,500 cricket fans - has no experience of running an event of this kind.
The cricket club has written to council licensing officers to assure them it has a tailored management plan for the gig and that noise disturbance will be kept "within agreed guidelines".
The club says it will work with residents to mitigate the impact of the event in terms of nuisance, noise and traffic congestion.
It will hold a residents meeting on Tuesday April 19 at 7pm in the Charles Palmer Suite at the ground.
Councillors will discuss the club's application on April 1.
