FOOOOOOOWK!
I hope we see you there Gary, there's gonna be a mad scramble trying to get tickets now ;)
on sale tomorrow in manchester at the venue and or the palace theatre oxford road ,
to answer rockets question I am a fortunate beneficiary of our prison overcrowding situation , on reflection Judge Farrington-Gurney Smythe felt that 12 months for the relatively minor offence of topiary re-alignment was harsh , and that the resulting erectile disfunction Mr Leverhulme suffered was not down to shock at seeing his wifes prize bush rendered Brazilian , but a latent diabetes problem , hitherto undiagnosed . I thank the judge for his kindness, and will use these boards to help the other innocent folk I met whilst in th ' BIG HOUSE '

You're not familiar with the new Durrutti type direction then ??
Hooky is on cello and Barneys prompter will be written on parchment and lit by candles
Tickets are 34.50 I think - so I would hope for more than candlelight......maybe Andy can sort that fookin smoke machine out
What is the name of that pub Gary? It's the same pub we frequented in 2001 when Mani shared a pint with the Corby Order, even us two look tall in that place :D
I wish you guys understand each other, because I'm not sure I get this right.
What is this? A new concert or the Manc Aid?!?!?

I think it's called the Apsley Cottage Shug.
What's the plans then are we stopping the night?
I don't think Lorraine would take too kindly to going without a bevvy and driving back afterwards again. 
Just phoned Ticketmaster on the off chance of their being a pre-sale but the operator didn't have any details on the gig whatsoever.

We are all staying at Rocket Mick's apparently
I only have 1 days holiday left - but fuck it - there is NO way I am missing this.
Nic, it's a bonefide New Order gig. Wahey.

They were all sat down Shug :\ohwell:
Appsley cottage ? It has got something to do with a cottage or cottaging , which I believe is the collecting of small porcelain cottages by Wade or Denby , digiMB may know he's from the potteries .....I digress.
On reflection that little pub is alright in summer when one can sit outside, not I fear ,a choice venue for November , somewhere nearer the centre perhaps ? texts and e-mithers will no doubt be zipping cross country soon enough ....

Top work Sherlock. I cannae remember anyone sat down when we were there in 2001, mind you, I can't remember too much except for doing the walk of shame after getting murdered down the front 
So, will you be able to phone up/buy online, or do you have to buy the tickets in person in Manchester?
Bona Fide, btw Nic, means a proper New Order gig! :)
What's the betting they add another night or two? Don't think anyone is playing there on the 15th or 16th. White Stripes are next there on the 17th.

I just need to be able to ofigure out a way to buy them online!!!
Ness wrote: Yipee! Mad ticket buying again tomorrow then, hope it isn't as bad as the QEH rush!
Can't see there being too much interest. Most people who are bothered saw them last week. Not sure I'm interested in seeing the same band two months running...

I'm going to see Bob Dylan at the MEN Arena on Wednesday 16th. So IF I get tickets for this one, I will probably stay for the whole week in Manchester.
Anyone else planning to make a week of it?
Now what would be REALLY good would be if there was another gig on the Tuesday night... Or a night in a club...
Any interest? Any ideas?
any more info regarding those drawing pins ? I don't want to have to edit a post at three a.m. just to bump it back to the top .
Office Angels couldn't help, tried selling me a back rub over the'phone.

Holy feck!
This is a surprise (the good kind!!) Do you really need to go to the Apollo to get tix? Guess I know where I'll be tomorrow morning!
I'm going to be on the road tomorrow, so I'm relying on me mum's patience with the telephone/internet to get me tickets. Do I disown her if she makes a mess of things?

Of all the days to leave me phone at home! 33 missed calls and 18 texts! Just rolled in from a large night in the city and the question that's on my lips is ..
WHY?!
Why the f--- are New Order playing a one-off like this in Mancland?!
It's not like it's fucking 1986 or summat, or they have anything worth pushing?!
Am I the only one thinking this is a little odd?! They could play half-a-dozen dates at that venue and a lot more all over the country besides, so why the one-off?!
Answers on a postcard please.

I find it to be quite a surprise, as well. I wonder if they will schedule any further gigs! Perhaps they're just doing this out of the goodness of their own hearts. :D

That'll be two of us inundated with texts and calls. Big thanks to Liam, who has been singlehandedly trying to keep me in the picture while I was away for the night and without web access. Ticket secured, now for the hotel/train etc. Better see if I can get 2 days off as well I suppose!

Maybe they will be showcasing some new songs...
Just ordered my tickets! Can anyone suggest a decent hotel near the venue? Thanks!
Also, the name of a nice pub near it would be great too!
Blimey, tickets went on sale AFTER I woke up! 
Luckily, they still had standing available...
Hotel I've decided to stay at is The Gardens Hotel (in Piccadilly Gardens) - not too far away from the railway station and all the record shops/bars/clubs/etc. Also, the Apollo is only about 5 minutes away (by car/bus/tram/etc).
So, flight booked (yup, I'm flying up from Heathrow round about midday - cheaper than trains) and back the next day!! Now, all I've got to do is to book the holiday time... :)
WA-HEY!!!! 
standing of course! Uncle Liam if you are reading this i tried to give you a text but my phone died on me. Right got to go, nooling is strictly verboten at work.
Gardens Hotel is the place to stay, can someone get to work on the watering hole situation please!
Apsley cottage aint big enough for pre gig drinks. Picadilly Tavern is city centre and will fit us all in, but isnt the best pub. Wetherspoons is next door but i'd rather not go in there. There is also a yates nearby but as its yates it wont be very good.
Let the floor be opened for any other suggestions...
probably Moon Under the Water is the only pub big enough for this gathering. I know at least a dozen mates that are going, prob more.
This is gonna be one big muthafooker..
NUUU ORRDAHHHH
Nick King wrote: What about the pub next door to Bridgewater Hall (forgotten the name of that one)?
Pitcher & Piano I think. Not a bad shout as it's fairly big and a decent bar. Right near the taxi rank too.

Perhaps they want to release another live DVD and are unsatisfied with the performances that have been recorded thus far.

I must've phoned 30 odd people as soon as I received confirmation from GM & ATR. Tried you twice but nae answer. And I was too busy phoning round to text people. Liam had to be the most excited I've ever heard anyone, sounded like a 5 year old wean on the phone to me....."Is it definitely on? What date is it? Is it a full set? Why are they doing it? Is it all seated? who's going?" and to end the phonecall he told me he was going home for a sleep, but didnae know whether he could cos he was so excited Top man is our Liam.

yeh, just I can only access from work now.
that's the last time I get pissed and get the garden shears out. I even chopped my telly cable & burglar alarm cable.
bloody hell, how many times have I told you to hide sharp objects before you get pissed? Well never actually, but you get my point. Where do you reckon for the pre-gig meet up? We could even start a couple of days in advance.
Wish I could go, but the finances are looking a bit grim (especially with the family Chrimbo looming)... hope they hurry up and get back to London.
(Shouldn't be saying that as a born and bred Northerner!)
The current conversation in work is where the pre gig drinks are going to take place. We need somewhere big, (probably more people at this than last week) so Moon Under Water, Picadilly Tavern, and that pub next to bridgewater hall (alhough we best be quiet, we wouldnt want to offend any Ray Lamontagne fans!) have all been mooted.

I'm not sure, the Pitcher & Piano has been mentioned. Sounds good to me.

£55 instead of the £110 everything else on google came up with. :)
