    Fuck United. Fuck United up Fergie's red fucking arse-face. Just because The Cunt was sold to Madrid doesn't make me despise this club any less.

    You can look up their website and figure out the opening hours and such. Aside from maybe paying for away tix, I certainly won't be contributing towards Manure's coffers in any way, or encourage others to do so. Ugh.

    I'm gonna have to take a bath now. Being called a manure fan... ewwwwwwwwwww. I feel so dirty.

    LOL, really? but i think it is quite central, isnt it?? (got no clue about london)
    i was just quite amused about all those pink-bathroom pictures.. beds don't look comfortable, but i'll only sleep there 2 nights, guess i'll survive that... :D
    i can basically sleep everywhere... if anybody is going to take the bus from manchester to london at 4am, you will see... woke up with things drawn in my face before, so bring an edding... ;)

    Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I've had a PM suggestion of this place for the pre-show in London:

    http://www.theo2.co.uk/inside/bars-rest ... ha-ha.html
    http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pubsandbars ... 27757.html

    It's in the O2 itself and has generally good reviews... the only trouble is it only holds 250 people and most reviews have said it's normally busy, even on non concert nights. On the plus side, we won't have to tube hop to get to the venue...

    Y'all let me know what you think :D

    We are getting the super duper train... but at about 09:30am I think... I'll have to check :oops:

    considering the massive queue 10c ticket holder are going to face, it might be a good idea to be nearby.

    Just checked and mine is 1:15pm. I am staying with some friends for the Manchester gig and didn't want to be straight out of the door first thing :lol:

    I am staying in the docklands area and I have been there before so I should remember my way round. I dont mind either pub, but some people might mention, and I am only guessing, that the 02 pubs will charge a little more than your typical London boozer.

    Seems to be more of a restaurant thatn a pub and lloks as though it may be quite expensive!

    I will go along with the majority though.
    Astoria 20/04/06, Leeds 25/08/06, Prague 22/09/06, Wembley 18/06/07,
    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.

    Theres a Slug and Lettuce inside the O2 and also Indigo Bar which is cool. Neither charge anymore than a pub in London, trust me, I live 15 mins from Greenwich so am at the O2 alot
    Underneath this smile lies everything........... all my hopes, anger, pride and shame
  • philthehipphilthehip Posts: 2,084
    Now I donr know whats happening??? Which pub are we going to???
  • I think Dunk mentioned going to IndigO2 after the show.

    As for the The Ha Ha Bar... apparently they have beer offers... on NON gig days :? :lol:

    I don't know about the queues for the presale tickets. I know it was bad for NIN but that could've been down to NIN's people rather than the O2. I wasn't planning on staying late at The Market Porter, I don't have a problem drinking there for the majority of the day, checking into the hotel around 3, getting presale tix (dependant on when we can) and then going to the Ha Ha Bar just before the gig to minimise spending costs in there.

    My main concern is the size of the joint :? Mind you, I suppose we could spread out around the pubs inside the O2... I dunno.

  • jrdjrd Posts: 3,060
    if there IS going to be a looooong queue to pickup tickets then might be better to go to one of the pubs/bars in the O2...?

    the Harry Potter pub sounds nice... but it'll be a lot nicer once i know i have my ticket in my possession... ;)
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
