Bobby Roberts Circus were supposed to be moving to a new venue in the early hours of this morning with the hope of leaving all their woes behind. Instead they're left pondering where it all went wrong in a muddy field in rainy Lancashire.

With no venues to take them, it could only get worse with them having to cancel their Yorkshire part of the tour due to hosts pulling as a result of activists. After Yorkshire, they were aiming to head up the North East towards Scotland.

Below are the venues they hope to use in the coming months, before their June arrival in Scotland. Let's send them packing in the opposite direction, towards a retirement at their winter quarters in Northamptonshire.
