So, who's going to this? 80 quid is a lot cheaper than 450 quid, even if it's only a couple of tunes...

Ally Pally is not that far away from me (at least it's on the same railway line!)...

Tempted, but it's still pricey, although could be persuaded if anyone else is making it! :)

OOhhh errr....... he'll definitely think I've lost the plot now. NO, NO,NO (that's as in N O spells NO)! can't do. Lost a big contract today......school fees and all that....

Looks like Im going to have to be a light weight.

Glasto,Turin,RFH,Manc & Brixton will have to do me for the year !

Give us a wave on the telly Al !

£80 for one track lol

Sorry £84.25 including booking fee and postage

Happy to relieve you of one of the freebies Al! ;)

(There is no "tongue-in-cheek" smilie!!!!)

Karen did ask me last night if I wanted a ticket for this as an early Christmas present. Much as I like seeing tribute bands, this ain't my bag really. Forty quid a song equates roughly to four times as good value as Werchter was!

Al

You really are dedicated, and I thought I was insane paying £625 for a Glastonbury ticket.

Enjoy !!,P.S. don't go for a Piss or you will miss em

Sorry £42.12/5p

Michael, check out the pic above. That really is the view from my spare room window. There's no way I could miss this one even if I tried. It's 10mins walk from me!

Catch you in a couple of weeks!

It might be a hop, skip and a jump from your front door, Al, but have you ever worried (just a little bit, mind) about that whole dedication/insanity divide??

Er, no?

Thought as much.

What does the FC stand for after Stoke City ?

You're a cheeky bastard ain't ya, Mike??!! Full stops cost extra, and that bloody thing cost a fortune as it was.

(Stands for Fucking Crap, BTW)

It's still a long walk up that hill although downhill all the way home......somehow thats kind of romantic!!!!!!

I truly truly hope you all have a good time. Also, I am truly truly true........ly a little bit jealous. Work. Pays the bills, but OGD - does it get in the way of life sometimes. OK who can translate OGD? This one I cannot wait for.

OGD = Oh God? (okay, so not a true acronym, but it's my best guess at this time of the morning)! :D

Em, I now appear to be going to this......

I have made a post on the digital republic site in response to latest 4 winners if anyone is interested

( Here comes the abuse..........)

:bag:

Where are we meeting- can't see a thread on this...

I'll start one...

Looks like ill be paying a midweek visit up to London Village,

Ive got to be in work at 9am on Thursday in Southampton.

There is a train at 23:39 or 01:05 from Waterloo.

If I get the 01:05 chances are I will end up falling a sleep and waking up in Exeter.

Al, your probably best placed to answer this.

How how long you reckon the tube Journey is from Ally Pally to Waterloo. What time is last tube ?

The other option is to Drive, Ill defo get there some how.

No, they charge for entering between 9.00am & 6.30pm ( assuming your classing downtown as the west end)

Al Jarvis wrote: I'm booked in!

Er, but then this is the view from my spare room window on a clear day (where I'm typing from at the moment) so it's not like I have to go far (er, that's Ally Pally on the hill, for those who don't know!).

Had I known NYE 1998... Could've stumbled back to Al's for top ups!

:\pimp3:

right - any guesses/ definites on what time this will finish? have to get back 'ome after!

Whats the view like out ya front window Al ? Ally Pally has a staggering view of London town..

does anyone know about the timing of this event? when it starts etc

sugarcane wrote: does anyone know about the timing of this event? when it starts etc

Yeah could do with some more info especilally...

what time are NO on ?

What time does it all finish ?

WTF does smart casual mean?

Ive gotta decide between tube / train and driving so any info on timmings would be most useful.

exactly! yes transport is the issue, got to figure out how to get back to mancland. And getting there too- I'm hoping to sly out of work early, but i don't mind missing Alanis Morrisette. And yes the dress code thing is rather bothering me too.

Smart casual is "no grunge, but no whistles either, somewhere in between". The TV people won't want anyone looking like a sack of shite, not that anyone would!

Doors open at 6pm is it? It ain't gonna be a late one, or a particularly long one, I wouldn't think.

Getting back: Coach. How far is Ally Pally from Victoria?

deffo going then liam? let me know when you've booked the coach, and I'll get off my arse and sort it out too. I'm going to beg/plead/offer sexual favours to my boss tomorrow to try and get the day off after brixton, so I'll give you a call when I know the result.

looks like there will be a few of us heading to victoria for the coach then!

oldmonkey wrote: Smart casual is "no grunge, but no whistles either, somewhere in between".

No Claire Rayners or Steve McQueens then ?

the lass from endemol says it will finish at 11

sugarcane wrote: the lass from endemol says it will finish at 11

Good Work ! Thanks for that

Spotnick wrote: Anybody got their ticket yet?

Not yet. Lisa from Endemol said they would be posted out closer to the day.

So if we are standing up and all the posh people are sat down and we can't mix what it will be like? Sounds like we are in a pig pen, I suppose there will be more than just us few standing?

In the usual TV cheesy style will we be cued to act over excited when they come on??

Ness wrote: In the usual TV cheesy style will we be cued to act over excited when they come on??

And shouting "NU ORDER!!"? :D

Also, will we be invited to the after party to mix with the "stars"? :eek

Standing is at the back as well, behind the seats!

We better shout blooming loud then, I'd better take a step ladder.

AT least you lot will stand out stood next to 'real' fans of The Kinks & The Ooo!

We should have a neworder only pen :D

Anything to keep those Eurythmics fans away!

Al Jarvis wrote:

Is that for sure, Al ??

Seeing these Brits type things before, they have the great unwashed down the front.

I'm very tempted to get myself an £80 seat, but it won't really be the same with you lot standing at the back. At least if you're down the front I could see you all going nuts :\ohwell:

are there pre-gig drinks and meets?

Just about to book transport then i thought i would check if anyone is going down from Manchester- I know Liam isn't sure about his arrangements yet. What about anyone else, want a travel companion?

Yeah, what time do pre-show shenanigans begin, folks??? Need to book me choo choo???

And does "smart causal" mean 'no shorts'?

Chinos are traditionally beige, JG, more your colour of choice, surely?!

Now now, you two boys play nice now!

Shug wrote: Pre-gig venue is aptly titled THE VILLAGE it's in Muswell Hill and not too far from the Ally Pally, at least this is what Al said when I phoned him earlier

We can arrange anything else the morra evening in Joshua Brookes. The Corby Order should be in town for 5.

Which is here;

http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/info_pubbar_maps_3737.html

I'll be there 4.30-5...

surely there must be some way to recognise people?

I'll be there, alone but there ...

Well no one's gonna recgnise me anyway as this is only my second post (and yes i do know that i am exceptionally lucky to be going!). I won't be able to get to this meet-up beforehand as I'll be rushing from work. Maybe as we walk in the "Rose Window" entrance to Ally Pally we need to all shout out "Nu Ordah" like a bunch of sheep trying to find each other in the fog. That'll impress the TV people!

By the way how do i get that "personal info" to appear when you click my nickname? (cos my info is fascinating, ahem) and how do i quote people in those blue boxes? This internet business, I dunno.

We'll be easy to spot at the pub; just look for the large gathering of people, some of whom will be wearing NO Tshirts...

If you don't arrive until the Palace then the same will apply...

ffs ive been posting on this site for 2 yrs and hardly ever pop in ere. right now i know where the village is,ill pop in (hopefully). and if anyone is stuck for transport oop norf "preston is as far as im going"ill have an empty van,as im delivering in the area (well 50 miles south of) but call in on way back hehehehehe. see yas there,ill be wearing a fac51 badge

I have a feeling we'd get chucked out at an event like this. Certain people were forewarned by security when the Order did TFI Friday in 98 (was it?). ATR was even told to take his Viking helmet off!

I bet NO Regret that performance!

It was the worse live shambles I ever did see.:(

DIGGY MIKE went and is now on his way home.REGRET was played and i think LWTUA but we had more important things to chat about! SHOPPING AT TESCO:D

Thanks to John and Shug for the drinks and programme.

Hope we can be heard ( if not seen ) shouting Nu Ordah on the Telly

Just put a ..... wait for it.... ASDA Chicken Madrass in the oven. Must have a word with Mrs Diggy

And were you good little boys and girls before and after New Order and complete psycho's while they were on?

And Mike, BTW, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support your campaign for Hurt, should probably change the date on the sig tho mate when the head clears.

1. regret
2. lwtua

I was in the pathetically small standing area at the back of the arena - balcony would be a nice way of describing it. The whole thing was very odd and stilted. The sound was good, barring the drum sound - the drums were uniformly boxy all night.

Nonetheless, it did mark a rarity - with New Order being a fivepiece for the speech and award giving with a foxy looking Gillian - however she didn't perform as Phil did. Barney didn't seem that keen, not as many whoops as usual.

I did try to make it to The Village, but ended up lost in Muswell Hill instead.

Will do Steve

Sig now changed

Was well worth the trip down to London for this. Had the pleasure of meeting Ricardo again, Chant, Brigitte and all the usual suspects. Didn't matter that we only got Regret and LWTUA (both which sounded really tight, almost professional for New Order!) Had a lump in my throat during the tributes from fellow musicians and felt a real pride that they are finally earning the recognition that they fully deserve. A nice touch from Barney dedicating LWTUA to Ian Curtis. The Vikings tried to create some sort of atmosphere chanting New Ordah as they were receiving their award, i think Dermot O'Leary said something about having Doctor Clayhead thrown out when he interrupted his introduction. :D Cheers to Spotnick for the tickets, an enjoyable night was had by all and we should treasure these moments as there may not be too many more in the future.

Thank you Spotnick for a great evening again. I certainly was not worthy.

Met with Shug, John Sludden, Mickey Way (nice outfit), Big Al and his gal,Beatrice, Chant, Ricardo, Dave Lee, Neil hac must be rebuilt, Hibster, Don, Ness, Wolfman and Johnny Giles...... Old Monkey couldn't make it because of work commitments but still travelled all the way to Wood Green to give me Chant Ricardo and Beatrice of Strasbourg our tickets. Nice one Tim.Thank you

Alex the Red in all his majesty was also in attendance. He looked the smartest I had ever seen him. He even wore a tie. Hibster has photographic evidence.....

The Order was awesome. Couldn't contain myself when John Sims came on. I had to shout NUUUUUUUUU ORDAAAAAAAAAH! as loud as I possibly could interrupting his splendid intro. He took it well and just grinned. Hooky also seemed to be grinning when he got a major shout out before Regret....

The view was the best we could get and I jumped like a loony during their set. Great time.

It was quite awesome for me watching them being inducted alongside Dylan, Hendrix, Floyd, The Who and of course John Peel. To see Ian Curtis up in lights on massive screens sent a real shiver through me. I never thought I wold see the day. It just hit home what a fantastic band they really are and how under rated they are by the plebian masses.

I even met Will from that semi ok tribute cover quartet re orderorsomethingorother with a friend on the way home.

It was a good event in my opinion and I enjoyed nearly all the acts. Chrissy Hynde & Morrisette should be two of the first against the wall come the revolution.....

Smashing time, am on a high. And for once, I wasn't even down the front.

Spotty, massive thank you again!

:bag:

Oddly enough, if you check my 35093rd post that fell backwards through windows server 2067, you see that indeed pissy rind andalaaa, whatever the bitches name is, were indeed, first against the wall when the revolution came, by order of el-presidente Hook.

Great :D

thanks for giving us the opportunity to go to this Nicos

one of the highlights of the night for me was Gillian getting up on stage and getting a cheer!! was brilliant to see all of neworder on stage together again :)

Sorry I wasn't there; I've been sweating it out in bed with a bad case of flu...

Thanks to Spotty anyway for the opportunity!!!!!!!!!!

Back to my pit...

:dead:

Many thanks Nic for the freebie. You don't get that kind of thing every day. After all the boring Slash supergroup "Hendrix tribute" stuff (which will surely be edited tonight), it was nice to have Barney walk on stage promising "No guitar solos". The sound quality was far superior to that of Brixton last week, although it did also higlight the um, imperfections of the vocals. Eurythmics were quite good too actually. Sabbath rocked but alas only one song. And as for the Peel tribute/Buzzcocks band at the end, we got a Hooky bonus, but what the heck was Jamie Cullum doing on stage?? It's all record company promotion b/s I suppose.

As above....it was weird and totally sterile, but the good ship New Order was (hopefully) kept afloat by those in attendance. The sound was bloody pristine, mind, especially for Ally Pally and it's notoriously apalling acoustics.

Keep yer ears our for O'Leary walking across the stage just before he starts the Order intro.....I let rip with the biggest "Neeewwww Orrrrddddaaahhhh!!!! me throat would allow and Dermot begins by saying (something like) "yeah, wait a minute they'll be here soon". I'll be sleeping with him before you know it!

Great to see Gillian again, too!

Edit: belated thanks to both the mighty Danny (Gin Soaked Boy) who took time out to drive to Croydon so I could reclaim my baby; and to the equally mighty Allen Jarvis for letting me crash at his place. Cheers, lads!!

Can anyone let me know whereabouts NO were in the runn ing order? Really don't want to have to sit through all the crumblies...

delilah wrote: Can anyone let me know whereabouts NO were in the runn ing order? Really don't want to have to sit through all the crumblies...

Fourth, I think - after Eurythmics, Hendrix (or Slash wanking off) and the Kinks.....but it was all so boring before the Order came on I'm not exactly sure. In fact, none of could fucking remember a few hours later in the curry house - and we were all sober!!

Not much to add except it was a great finale to a great NO week.

Thought they played extremely well, looking forward to watching tonight.

Nice to see everyone looking smart (apart from Don whose was in the usual attire )

Got a nice treat from Mr King in the cab on the way back - Barney's plectrum! Thanks Nick, will sit nicely with my drumstick. About a half hour later, I realised how highly amusing it was that it landed on your shoulder at the gig!

First off, BIG THANKS TO AL JARVIS to giving me and Dave his seated tix that he paid for!!

Good to see crew at the meet-up before hand even with the venue change..Ally Pally looked huge and I thought the sound would suck but it was actually really good..thought there would be free booze but alas, there was not

Didn't care much for most of the other acts although most were alright..me and Dave we near the back of the seated stands but had a direct view of the stage..look for my mint green shirt on the telly !

Heard a few "Nu Ordahs" just as they were announced and we gave them a standing ovation..Regret was good but I thought Barney mumbled through LWTUA..perhaps he didn't get his usual large screen telepromter

Good to see Gillian up there on stage..but was hoping she'd play too..saw Serge in the seats too

Left just after and missed the Peel induction but had a great night overall..can't wait til next year's awards when DEPECHE get inducted :D

cheers!

Incidentally, after ignoring Allen's advice about buses this morning, I thought I'd have a wander around north London given that it was such a beautiful day (cold & crisp, no wind, blue skies, leaves all turning golden....absolutely my favourite time of year). So I strolled around Crouch End & Muswell Hill happy as Larry....y'know (and I never thought I'd say this) I think I could quite happily live there. Nice bit of the world.....

Depeche next year - Good Luck :)

Clayhead, the thought of you and your flag back together rekindles the warm memories of when Ken & Deirdre got back together in the '80's

Actually I learnt about that during a United midweek game, it flashed up on the scoreboard and the Stretford End cheered.

Looking back, that wasnt very cool. But then again, apart from New Order, who was cool in the '80s?

Oh and yes, I know I've set myself up for some 'anti United quips' from you funny boys.

Let's face it, the Stretford End need something to cheer about

excellent

20 mins in and I'm reminded of Stephen Fry saying "I didn't think there was enough vomit in the world..."

Well, just watched it on Channel 4. They obviously edited out my NUUU ORDAH during John Sims intro but they couldn't fucking edit out my very best NEW ORDAARGHHHHH! between songs which was echoed by the NOOLs to my right!!!!!

Immortalised now. I can now go to my grave a happy man. A stupid but very happy man.

:bag:

really enjoyed that.good tributes to the boys.great performance also

all theyre talking about on the bbc website is friggin pink floyd, and why there not getting back together, blah, blah blah, thought the performance was brill watching it on tv. never went to it, used up all the money going to brixton and hyde park. it would be nice if they went on tour next year, one joy division song they havent done for ages is "sister ray". also, very strange is lack of tribute from u2's bono for joy division

I spoke to Andy Rob earlier, and he sounded rather chuffed/touched that New Order had a 'prescence' in the audience as, for anywhere who was there knows, no other band appeared to have the fanbase.

The only other 'shout outs' you got all night were for fcuking 'Onetel'!

It's good to know our efforts weren't wasted. They found their bloody award yet?

err that's a velvet underground song that new order covered....

Spent all night doing my tax returns & missed the C4 show

I'm off to watch the webcast of Manc again now - see if i can spot meself in the crowd

Where were the New Order/Joy Division fans in relation to the stage and where New Order played at Ally Pally? The atmosphere seemed to be a bit strange and did I hear Barney shout 'Come on!' at the audience? I take it that wasn't directed at the New Order fans.

Great, apart from the bunch of OneTel tossers in the crowd

Wew were right at the back, a million miles from the stage. So I was pretty chuffed when I re-watched the show a bit earlier - we made quite a racket between the two tunes, much to Hooky's obvious pleasure. And you can hear Alex ("Don't mention the war!") like he was right at the bloody front!

I also saw him standing during their performance but after he was told off by an elderly female usher, he sat down. I mean fancy telling Alex to sit down. Especially when he looked so smart and everything. ;)

Apart from me and Midnight Blue. We gave our own little standing ovation when they came to the podium and after the set.

We sat down during the songs, but the whole bloke of seats was bouncing about from our sit down dancing

Wew were right at the back, a million miles from the stage. So I was pretty chuffed when I re-watched the show a bit earlier - we made quite a racket between the two tunes, much to Hooky's obvious pleasure. And you can hear Alex ("Don't mention the war!") like he was right at the bloody front!

You all sounded great. To be fair, all the fans sounded great considering the distance. Just wish I could have been there.

Yes, I think we all appreciate having the Order in 'close range' particularly when we hear stories of how far people travel for one gig.

Necklace is right, but if you want to be really precise - a tight one like that is a choker. :)

See the posts are still muddling up! I am sure Nic is having a joke putting them in a new order everytime

First one - "Have you farted Alex?"

Second one - " Oh no we are gonna get a crocked 34 year old Man Utd reject "

Can I just say that Shaun Ryder's "I can hear the whole world in them songs" is just about the most succinct description of the reason I (and we?) love New order I have ever heard.

Thanks.

Amen to that just proves he really is a lyrical genius after all.

Well lads, you all look very dapper.

On the second photo, has anyone else noticed that Santa is helping himself to someones beer???

Caption competition!

In the first one Alex has just told me my bottle of Becks was 3 quid and his Pina Colada was only 2.50

In the second one I am wondering whether I locked my front door before coming down to London.

:D

First caption...... ATR: "Talk us through that goal again Teddy...."
