Any one know what time the gig'll finish? I think my last train home is around 11, I don't know whether to bother getting the train or just drive over to manchester from Blackpool. Is there decent parking anywhere near the Academy?

Can anyone recommend a good and close place to get a beer before and after?

Most pubs around there are OK, but give the Jabez Clegg a wide berth.

Parking: The university has a car park round the back of the academy. See handy link here. Very good for when it's very cold.

Drinking: The Salisbury pub by Oxford Rd station is quite good, but it's closer to Jilly's than the Academy. There's Kro bar, down the road from the students union, that does nice beers but can be full of prats if you pick the wrong night. Also there's the students union itself, which is just next door. Again, good call when it's very very cold. Like last year!

That sucks, at least my wife has taste.... she knows most lyrics to the popular songs, and a few of the b sides etc. Mine'll be with me as per usual, though i think it's the first time as husband and wife. Not seen Ginge and co since the tour May before last. Been a long time. See y'all there.

Anhoose after several life threatening moments and a mess it will take hours to sort I have my ticket Image

Cannot wait to sack off work and go see Wildhearts at Christmas as has now become traditional for me to do :wink:

Woooo I can already feel that these next 4 days will feel like 4 years..... but even that would be worth it Image

Well done that man Image thats dedication rite there

Though to be fair I was 7 when thay split up and didnt get to see them untill I was 11 on the 2001 reunion tour and affording gigs between the ages of 11 and 15 wasnt really achiveable.

Why the hell couldnt I have been 17 in about 92 and have been able to follow the band all the way through Image

Im off for a word with me parents....

I'm not sure whether to offer words of admiration, or call you a sad bastard for having kept count (first saw 'em in 93, no idea how many I've done. Could go through the shoebox of ticket stubs and work it out that way, but really can't be arsed :P
