I'm trying to wrack my brain back to when I stayed at The Premier Lodge in Nottingham in 2002. I think it was 6 O'clock or something but someone with more up to date info might be able to help you out.

from the website:
"Check in is any time after 3pm. You will need to vacate your room and return your key by 12 noon on the day of departure. Also an early check in and late check out service is available at many hotels for an additional charge which will be offered when you book, subject to availability. Please check the Hotel Information pages for more details."

Any time should mean "any time", but when you're unsure, you could call the travelodge and ask:
Tel: 0871 984 6221
Fax: 0190 242 6130

I actually checked into one at 3.30am last year in Birmingham. So you should be fine.

Is everyone just turning up as-and-when on Monday or are there plans for us all to meet up at some time? If nobody is planning to meet up, but wouldn't mind hanging out with silly ole' Richey, I'll be found sat outside the Civic Hall doors from 2pm onwards with a packet of smokes and a copy of 'Kingdom Of Fear' by Hunter S Thompson

I think I'd recognise you if I saw you. I'll say hi if I do.

I'm getting really excited now hearing about the Barrowlands.

I've got three coloured neck-scarve things so I might wear one of those to help you spot me!
Just got to decide which colour!

Awesome. I'll keep an eye out for you but I'm not 100% percent sure I'll recognise you. But yeah, if you do wear one then let me know.

If I can't get hold of a decent shirt to spray paint then I'll be in tartan trousers and a black vest thing (freezing my arse off) so I should be pretty easy to spot.

I am getting very excited now, I just hope these cancellations don't go to plan and Nicky mnages to recover OK, the poor buggar.

I'll be in the queue, probably wearing my really crappy Manics shirt possibly a football themed t-shirt and I'll probably look grumpy as well because that's my queuing mood.

Hmm, will the ticket collection be avalable all day? Cause I think I'll be at the Civic for about 4:30.


You know them panics you go into a couple of hours before a gig? The ones where you make a check list and actualy run through your day to think of what you might need? Yeah, well, muggins here is in that panic now.

I'm not sure if ticket collection is available all day from the little civic? which is the civic owned pub which houses the box office and is situated nextdoor but one to the civic itself.(if you were looking at the civic head-on). I'm guessing the pub section is open most of the day, but the box office within the pub only opening on the evening.
However, the midlands box office, which is about 150 meters away from the venue, is open all day every day. This again is related to the civic, and i'm sure that's where the tickets would be collected from in daytime hours.

Be warned, this is just a guess though!
