I'll be around. Pally's a bit limited for pubs. There's one decent one near the overland station but I'll be fcut if I can remember its name at the moment - it'll come to me - and you don't wanna be drinking in Wood Green, if you have the choice. Nasty area.
Perhaps best off drinking in Muzzy Hill, which is a stone's throw away, easily reachable on the W7 from Finsbree Park. Would recommend the Victoria Stakes at the crossroads of Priory Road and Ally Pally's approach road but then it's an uphill walk to the Pally, which you don't wanna be doing after a couple of liveners. Much easier to just start in the Hill and then walk down to the Pally!
Strictly juice for me these days anyway, so up nor down doesn't matter, but it would be good to meet up with people beforehand.
Did think about Friday as well, but got Buzzcocks at Indigo2 that night now.
Anybody else doing the boy brown in brixton on the thursday?
Best boozer for Ally Pally is The Village in muzzy hill

Yep, defo. We arranged to meet there before that awards thingy a couple of years back ... and it was shut for a refurbishment! 
Actually used to live in a flat slap-bang next to the roundabout, before I moved to Crouch End. Village was two boozers back then - Ritchies for the underage, then Swiss Cottage next door.
Strangely, Village just seems to be full of Greek/Turkish lads and lasses of a weekend now - when there's none of them actually living in Muzzy Hill itself?

I'll be there, and will arrive for a meet-up at any boozer in the area - I'll probably need it after this week!

Gary and Gordie talking about aleing in Kings X. Fcuk that, need to get home first.
Think the Village is probs yer best bet.
Don't go via Highgate though. Northern Line is shite. Easiest just to jump the W7 at Finsbree Park and it takes you all the way to the terminus, which is in Muswell Hill, opposite the boozer itself. Bay A, Stroud Green side.

Probably easier (for myself) to get a train to Ally Pally, then either a taxi or bus...

Next stop on your train is Finsbree Park anyways, isn't it?
Best just to head through to there, no?

London Bridge to Moorgate, First Capital Connect from there to Finsbree Park, W7 to Muswell Hill.
Or get the Norvern line ALL the way to Highgate and get a bus to Muzzy Hill from there. I'd avoid the Norvern Line like the plague, however. It's shite.
dave clark wrote: thanks Al, what time is everyone getting to the Village?
I won't be able to get there much before 7pm, probs.
EDIT at 9.30am: Not making a detour home now and am already in a shite mood in the office, so fancy a proper drink. Should be there just after 6pm!
Saw 'em in Blackpool last night.They were awesome.Opened with PIONEER TO THE FALLS which is epic.They were right to encore with songs from TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS as I think it's still their best album.
Pretty much the same set as all year. Nice to hear Hands Way though.
It was a good gig, but not a patch on Zurich or Berlin.
Did you get up front Liam? It was chock-a-block when we came in,we were stood where DJ Scruff was spinning tunes at NO last year.
... and there was no chance of getting any further forward - chocca! (Topical word tonight eh BRF?)
i just pushed everyone out of my way during "Obstacle 1".
Never failed on any of the other dates. Nor did it last night.
