Heading along to Croker?

It's safe to say we've been waiting a while (20 years, maybe?) for the Spice Girls to come back. When it was announced that they would play their first comeback concert in Croke Park we were as excited as kids in a sweet shop. Now that the gig is just around the corner, a public safety notice has been issued - and it's very detailed. For everything you need to know, read on:
