Still worth going on the night just for the Crap Mass Produced Buds and Burger N Chips, probably hear it through the walls, the Stage is tiny there!

Oh, it has. It's just that Nicky has used up all of the ticket allocation with places for his favourites.

Edit: Great minds, Sarah.

It's funny that the only mentions of the whole guest list thing in this thread so far have been by people making digs at the people who moaned about it last time, who haven't actually said anything this time anyway

I'll enter, but really not fussed if I don't go. I've seen the Manics plenty of times recently, with three re-scheduled gigs to come. Frankly, I'd be almost relieved to be saved yet another trip to London tbh

It is linked with the bar cafe, but round the corner, 5 seconds away.

I still love what Keith Moon traded £15,000 in cash for on the wall in the bar there.

Stage.

I would enter, but London's a shitter to get to at short notice.(for not wanting to pay loads, anyways.)
And I hate the Hard Rock Cafe.

Indeed. How many competition only gigs is it this year now?

[MSPKYE]

I'll enter but if I don't go no biggie, as Laura said it'd save another trip to London. 6 gigs in the same city for one tour 3 of which have had limited accessibility, bit much?

And the whole guest list thing, well the only way it's gonna kick off is if the same lot of people as Hammersmith end up there again, and even then whats the point in getting angry about it all?
