I was umming and ahing about getting tickets but the chance to hear the whole of JFPL was too much! The Civic is a great venue - I saw them on the PPF tour there and they sounded great, and there's a great view from pretty much everywhere. See you there!

Is it worth hanging round after the gig and will anyone be doing so?

I have school the next day (According to my mum) and we won't be back in Sheffield until about 2.30 if we take the train, so I probably wont be allowed to hang around. So I need persuasion tips!

I've just realised what this involves...

A train to Wolves. I've never traveled further than Mexborough to Sheffield on a train before.
Finding our way from the station to the Civic Hall, which I don't know the directions to.

Oh.

Wish I could be of help to you Abby but I'm only familiar with how to get there via car. Does anyone know which side of the venue they are most likely to come out of? Is there a particular door that they are most likely to use?

Don't worry, i'm sure you'll find it. The Civic isn't very far from the station at all. It's pretty much a case of walking straight on for a short while from the station before eventually turning right. Sorry, worse directions ever! There might be a small map on the Civic website

Cheers for that Counterlanguage! If my directions serve me correctly that means the stage doors lead on to the main road? Passed the car park and round the corner from there? The complete opposite side of the building from the Wulfrun? (Sorry, just making sure, my left and rights aren't very good!) The car parking is definitely 24 hours isn't it as I don't want to be off hunting down the Manics and then find I can't retrieve my car! Might start a thread to find put where people want to meet up to try and track down the band afterwards, whoever is up for it!

It will be easier for her to follow if I do some directions though as it is a good 10-15 mins walk from the station

Do a google maps search for Wolverhampton Corporation Street and look at the aerial photo, the stage doors are to the right of the green wheely bins in Corporation Street
Cheers mate! Just praying the carpark doesn't close at 12 midnight or something or I shall cry! Especially if the lads take their time!
