The Wildhearts

Right. Got my hotel and trains booked. Sam and me are turning up at about 4 in sunny Wolverhampton. Is there any consensus on a watering hole we should be heading to once we've checked in?
Also, who's staying at the Novotel and up for drinks after?
less than two weeks! Can't wait!

The Royal London seems as good a place as any. It's allegedly a bit studenty (not overly to my mind though), but it's big so there should be no problem if we turn up en masse.

Here are a couple of maps of the area.

(The Feline and Firkin marked on the second one isn't there any more.)

Yep, bro-in-law and I'll be arriving early afternoon. Also booked into Novotel. Will be wherever the fun is pre and post the gig. See ya there!

We're staying in the Brittannia Hotel, just round the corner isn't it?

we're in the britannia as well, probably around from about 4ish during the day so up for a meet up!

re the pub, even if it's a bit studenty, as it's close to xmas wont all the students have gone home for xmas?

I'd have thought so, and it wasn't exactly busy last year, so we shouldn't have a problem increasing their trade by a few cheeky halves.

I've added the Britannia to the big map.

The Royal London it is - what time should we be descending 'pon yon boozer?

I'm hitting Wolves at the back of three, so once I've checked in and such should be good to go from fourish I'd imagine?

Where abouts is the Royal London again?

It's opposite the Varsity by the main entrance to the Uni. Take a quick gander at the map links in my other post.

the frigging Royal London ???

WTF ?

right. as a Wolvo bloke, the ONLY pub fitting of a pre-Wildhearts bash is the Giffard Arms. literally just down road from Civic/Wulfrun and Wolvo's only rock pub

sort it out people. we'll be in from half 6

seriously who the fuck came up with the Royal London ?

Well unfortunately I won't be arrving in Wolves 'til just before the gig starts so pre drinks is a no-go for me

Sounds a plan - anyone else or is it just going to be me and this fella? ^

Rock pub? Count us in! Should be there some time around 4 o'clock.

we'll be there as soon as we've got parked. Not that anybody knows me like but anyway

Not a clue what time we're getting there, but tix are box office collection and we want to see all the bands, so might be bypassing the pub in favour of freezing our arses off in the queue...might try to drop in for a brandy, purely for insulation purposes of course
