New Order live @ Apollo, Manchester, 2005.11.14

I was just gonna say the onsite will fill up, then empty as half the original intake is nicked, making room for more.

Leaving Darlo between 3 - 3.30ish, and now I'm worried about my motor :\ohwell:

Looks like the trains from Piccadilly to the airport run through the night on a light service and pick up again around six or seven am. Airport buses I'm not sure about timewise.

For late night food it's just the usual selection of take-aways, I'm afraid. But some of the curry places in Rusholme along Wilmslow Road (about 20 mins from the city centre by bus) are open pretty late.

Thanks!

Can someone (ANYONE ) please answer the other questions? Someones gotta know.

Also: Ashley, Ill give a quick email tomorrow, and send a text to your number just to make sure I'm square on the details (If Im not, please let me know). Should be a pretty straightforward operation anyhow.

I did phone the airport to find that, while the terminal is open all night, the eateries re-open around 5.30am - so that's breakfast sorted anyway! we can get the train timetables when we arrive there. But we definitly need the address/directions to JB's for the meet-up.
Anyone know what time is throwing-out time?

Left my car in worst places, left a 2 day old Mini Cooper copy outside Brixton Academy at strangs gig, untouched when I came out Noticed the on-site is patrolled so should'nt be too bad. Won't spoil my first NO gig anyway

Well within striking range of Oxford Road then. We should have no problem getting there from the Train Station too.

j b' address is 106 princess st,but if you go down to bottom of princess street and see a pub with loads of people in it ( on a monday ) then thats the one

The Premier Travel Lodge on Portland Street is about 5-10 minutes walk to Joshua Brooks, tops... Probably the closest hotel to the pub that there is!

Looks like I've got a result in choice of accomodation :D

Bansheeman I must get to meet to you in JB's as I'm sure a beer or two post-gig will be necessary. I'll be wearing a 2001 tour t-shirt (the black one with red on the front and tour dates on the back). Wanted to wear my '86 State of the Nation tour t-shirt but can just about get it over one arm now

I should arrive at JB's 5.45ish. If the plan changes I'd be grateful if somebody could mail me a mobile contact number as I'm hoping to avoid getting lost. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Al,

Take it as a given

me and a mate arrive at about 3pm, we are arriving by train from glasgow. Is it easy to get to this pub from the train station? hope to see you all there.

if you're coming into picadilly, that station on that map is roughly-ISH where the railway crosses the London road. At least that's what I'm working on :)

Al. like the avatar.

1. For definite: what pub are we all meeting in and are there directions (i.e. on Google Maps)?
2. How much of a walk is it from the pub to Oldham St?
3. How much of a walk is it from the pub to the Apollo?
4. Where are we going after the Gig?
5. Are there many late-night food outlets about town (I get desperately hungry after all that gigging)?
6. Is the pub we are meeting in, and the place we are going to after the gig near a train station? What time does the 1st train in the morning leave for the Airport (roughly)?
7. Is the pub we are meeting in, and the place we are going to after the gig near a Bus stop that will get us to the Airport? What time does the 1st bus in the morning leave for the Airport (roughly)?
8. Roughly how much is a Taxi to/from the Airport?

I would really appreciate it if some Manc head could answer these questions – some of them are more important than others. I was in MCR for the Saville show, and found it easy to get to and from the City Centre by Train – there is a line to the Airport. I can usually make my way about quite easily. Conrad and myself will be heading (and 2 more Irish heads I think?) – and since they will probably be clinically brain-dead with drink – let alone in a state to make flights – by 4pm, it’s pretty conceivable that I am actually speaking for 4 here!

Thanking someone (anyone) in advance.

Right then. As an exiled Manc now living in the black country, here's a few answers.

1. Ithink its Joshua Brooks - Dont think theres been to much dissention on that one. 2.JB's to Oldham Street is 15 mins max walking through the village.
2. Pub to Apollo is 15 mins walk, as long as you. dont mind a roughish estate. Easy though.
3. Dunno not much open on a Monday .
4. Normal Fast Food stuuf. Chinatown - Pearl City is normally open until 2 AM. 6.JB's is 5 mins walk to Oxford Rd and 10 to Piccadilly stations. Trains run about every hour to the airport during the night from Piccadilly.
5. Dunno Dont do buses .see above.
6. Black Cab to Airport. Approx 20 - 25 quid.\

Hopefully that answers the questions. Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. I be the chubby peter Kay soundalike with the 2001 Apollo t with the Red Design on the front.

The Apollo is 1 mile from Joshua Brooks.

I just checked it out in my motor, I need to get a life.

i'm picking my ticket up off Ness in JB's. What time are people going to be there? I'll be in from 4.30pm or 5ish after work. I think JB's do food, at least they used to, there are plenty of dodgy bar's and food places to eat if anyone wants to, I can recommend the Lass O Gowrie next to JB's on Charles street (across from the old Factory Records offices), 2 for 1 meals I think.

I need to get an answer about camera's, I dont fancy having my digital camera taken off me, does anyone know if I'll get the thing in to the Apollo? I did in 98 for the secret gig at the Apollo, but I was right at the back at that time.

cant wait for tomorrow, no idea who all of you are, so this will be really weird, kinda like a blind date, and i'm shitting it, hope everyone is welcoming. This will be my 9th N.O. gig.

Matt.

Nah, you just need bought a drink for services above and beyond :)

I reckon that's a cab for me unfortunately, but things may improve :)

Enjoy tomorrow's big event, peeps! Hopefully you'll get EGG!

I should be down to Joshua Brooks at around half five or six. Looking forward to another fine night!

Conor: I'm going to ring up the box office tomorrow and see what time I can pick the tickets up. I'll try to get them in hand before I head down to the pub, spare the queue later!

See you tomorrow .

should anybody want a standing ticket for tomorrow, one of my mates can't go, so I have a spare........ drop me a line if you or one of your mates want it... Al

Well, the Norn Iron Order are off and running. Gonna smoke a fag, pop a couple of last minute items in the bag, and hit the railway station. I'll see all your worthless arses in JB's in 11.5 hours ish.

starting to feel really sorry for promising to wear shorts...took me 5 mins to get from sleepingroom to pissingroom this morning, cos I had to unfreeze my feet after eadh step, and contrary to commonly held mainland belief, we have carpets here (the first ones arrived last week :) )

So, ladies and gentlemen(well you know, there may be lurkers who come under those headings), at this point, even a world class gobshite like me, can only think of two things to say.

1. Can't wait to meet all yee cunts :)
2. NU ODDAH NU ODDAH NU ODDAH (repeat to fade)

MANCHESTER WE HAVE A PROBLEM Rocket is FUELLED! See you tonight FOLKS.
