Ed Sheeran adds extra date at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light due to high demand. Are you hoping to go?

Joanne Stephenson:

All these negative comments, let fans enjoy, I love Ed but live so close to stadium will hear everything, don’t do large crowds.

James Paterson: Not at £85 per ticket.

Rachael Gray: It would be easier to get a camp chair and sit outside the stadium.

Mandi Gibson: Saw him at Newcastle and he was fab.

Jennifer Quinn: Yes but can't get answers for accessible tickets, been waiting for a reply since they first went on sale.

Clair Gallagher: I knew he would, I said be a sell out and he will add more dates.

Drafting in the military to deliver fuel to filling stations will not be enough to end the current fuel crisis on its own, petrol retailers have warned.

Jillian Robertson: The issue is media and stupid selfish people. So unless the military can sort that out there's no shortage as been stated by several tanker drivers and companies.

Chris Gregson: Why don’t all people stop being so greedy and filling up every opportunity. There is no fuel shortage whatsoever. It’s all to do with the media. Go back to normal and so will the fuel stations it’s unreal.

Simon Diggens: I wish people would listen to the people operating the tankers. Plenty of fuel at the refineries and enough qualified tanker operators to get the job done.

Geoff Wright: The real underlying issue of course which has made this worse is the shortage of drivers and the energy supply issues with us being reliant on Russia and Europe.

Peter Cannon: How many Military drivers are actually qualified to Drive Tankers. Most are standard HGV.

Renwick Wilson: We need the military to sort the selfish drivers out.
