New Order live @ Summer Pops, Liverpool (UK) - July 8th 2006

Maybe Billy Corgan will show up again.

YEEEES. might do this instead of spain as i am skint and spain will completely break me (though i'm still on the fence about it). of course, if this wasn't on i'd do spain as some new order is in order. but this is wonderful news. :)

Maybe Billy Corgan will show up again.

Bloody Hope not

i'm a little uneasy about it being less than 24 hours before the World Cup Final.I like to kind of prepare and gear up for a day or two before that

Perfect - just before a couple of scousers (Rooney, Gerrard) lead England's Captain Gary Neville (Beckham suspended an act of stupidity in the semi final and Owen injured quelle dommage) to pick up the trophy...

to think perchance to dream...

but get the fcuk in

Does anybody know if they are the headliners for this gig? I am not sure if I am ready to jump across the pond if it is going to be a short set.

It looks like they are headlining. It's one night in a series of 20. New Ordr has a nice slot between JB and Jim Kerr:

Oscar Peterson - 1st July 2006 Whitesnake - 3rd July 2006 The Who - 5th July 2006 The Who - 6th July 2006 James Brown - 7th July 2006 New Order - 8th july 2006 Simple Minds - 10th July 2006 Ronan Keating - 14th July 2006 A-Ha - 16th July 2006 Westlife - 17th July 2006 Simply Red - 18th July 2006 Simply Red - 19th July 2006 Sugababes - 20th July 2006 Il Divo - 21st July 2006 Bryan Adams - 23rd July 2006

Think the cap. is about 4000 so should be similar to Brix. academy

Just means the peasants at the back will av' to shout more!

Is it all seated? that spoils a lot of the fun doesn't it?

great news - any chance of new songs now? How much will tickets be here?

Dont want new songs! Want OLD songs!

tickets, after stoppages, will be between £32- £45 i would imagine.

tickets, after stoppages

What's a Stoppage?

Sitting? Really? FFS.

Brixton's all standing though. It's gotta be twice the size if it's all seated.

4500 to be exact according to the site, looks quite nice for a tent! Pity no standing though, but what can you do, it's still a NO gig!

M wrote: great news - any chance of new songs now? How much will tickets be here?

Been on site.And they're asking £32 which was the going price at the Apollo last November. SEATED??? This calls for pretending it's a Steve Foster boxing match at the NEC and remove some seats!!

Peter Kay's just been on TV at Summer Pops last year. Definitely all seated. Looks like a huge venue too. Not sure what Barney's gonna sound like in there...!

Hi everyone

I work at CMP who are promoting this gig in Liverpool - I'm also a huge New Order fan so don't worry this is all honest info and not an attempt at hard sell!

I thought I could clear up a few things that people seem to be unsure about:

• I did count the 2001 Liverpool show when saying it was only their second gig in the city for twenty years! I'm pretty sure they played the Royal Court in '86 but I don't recall any other times! Apologies if I'm wrong!

• New Order are deffo headling - full set. There will be a support act but I'm not sure who yet - as soon as I know I'll post it on here.

• Capacity of the 'Big Top Arena' is 4,500. It is all seated - however it is not like Old Trafford! I have been to many gigs there and the atmosphere is amazing and people are fine to stand at their seats. The fact it's indoor does create an itimacy which is suprising - don't worry. It is non smoking but I supose we'll all have to get used to that one.

• Prices: £23.50 (restricted view eg: right at the back) £28.50 (low) £32.50 (mid) £42.50 (Gold Circle - these are right at the front - amazing view)

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 21st April.

Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.co.uk): 0870 151 4000 Ticketline (www.ticketline.co.uk): 0151 256 5555 See Tickets: 0871 220 0260 Liverpool Direct: 0151 233 3007

There are links on the cmp website to the agency sites - I would recommend buying online as they get more tickets.

I hope that clears a few things up: if you have any other questions post them on here and I'll try and answer them.

All the best

How close will the VIP holders be to the gold circle?

VIP tickets are distributed throughout the Gold Circle area rather than in a solid block at the front. They tend to sell out less quickly than the Gold Circle tickets as well.

[brown]alistair[/brown] wrote: Cheers for the info Jamie!

Right, fook the £160-70 VIP ticket, plain old golden circle will do me! :D

Much more affordable.

glad to hear you're coming.

Think I will stick with the normal priced tickets. I could never drink and eat my moneys worth!

where can i pick a VIP ticket up from

will pay ANYTHING!

I'm with you on that, it's a lot of money and i go away the week after. So unless i have a windfall, it's the cheapseats for me!

im prepared to break the bank

i was saving up for the amsterdam tournament but sod it, its new order we are talking

Ness Order wrote: Think I will stick with the normal priced tickets. I could never drink and eat my moneys worth!

I hadn't thought of that - £100 of beer and food in one afternoon is beyond the likes of me these days!

As I said before reckon this VIP thing will be a complete waste of money.

On a par with these folk who tell you they're flying "Business Class" to Florida on their Airtours charter flight. They aint. They've paid £300 for an extra 3" seat pitch and as much Cava as they can drink. Premium Economy aint Business Class! Mugs.

probably too late for this gig but with the 'contacts' people on here must have can we not get a big block of seats for 'ehem' any future UK gigs this year?

The VIP is a waste of money btw.

I've been VIP twice at Pops, but only coz i got tickets from someone i know who buys adverts off Liverpool Echo. There is a limit to how much you can scoff and drink to justify the cost anyway. (but when its free, who cares) Don't Do it.

At least my barbs are based on fact, not fantasy.

i'm sure your 'barbs' at the piss-ups (no secret, al) make you feel like a real big man. well, good on ya.

p.s. aren't you treating this thread like MSN now, hmmm?

Al Jarvis wrote:

Having met me Christy, you know that, yes, I am a 'real big man'. Don't understand your comment about piss-ups though but you only know one person that I know (and you've never even met him) so seems a bit harsh that you'd betray him in such a fashion so publicly. And it's no secret what I think of you, so why don't you just can the faux-flirting, eh, it's getting extremely tiresome.

wow. what an ego. and if you think it's only one person who's told me about how you slag me off to others, you're dead wrong.

£40 or spend an extra £130 for a buffet, champagne and a bar. :|

I'll do VIP if the £40 tickets sell out.

Al Jarvis wrote: You're naive however if you think there's anyone else here who I know personally - other than Liam - who would go crying to you if I ever said anything negative about you.

erm...word gets around, al.

anyway, i'm done hijacking this thread.

p.s. liam doesn't come 'crying' to me. he's not a baby, you know.

aaanyway, who else is coming to the show?

I'm fookin not if you two are going to argue all the fookin time.

Right,

I'm not involved as this. and this will be the last time i say anything on the subject.

Al,

firstly, Christy has never 'betrayed' me. I fail to see any kind of situation where she has even been in a position to betray me.

Secondly, yes we talk regularly, and yes we havent even "met" in the flesh yet. Of course, your probably in a much better postion to judge my character, but please dont hold against either of us if we spend a fair amount of time chatting on MSN.

I think thats it. Anyway, I presume this will all be forgotten about in a few days and we can all get down to the serious business of getting shitfaced at the gig.

But to you both, if you are going to take barbs at each other, please try not to bring my name into it. I know i'm an egotistical bastard and all, but if i'd rather two people who i actually quite like and respect argued over something rather than me.

Now shut up the pair of you.

I agree with the whole getting shitfaced thing.

might be the best one to take the wife to then she can't complain anymore about going with mates,plus she might be able to see!!

Yes, she'll be sat with me most likely. And as you know i'm dead small and quiet and really inconspicuous. So you'll have to look really hard.

Does anyone know if you can actually booze in the venue? don't think i could handle an all-seated gig + no booze

its just a massive tent but thers a good vibe to it

im really looking forward to it

much rather this place then the MEN to be honest

Well you HAVE no need to worry about being OUT SHOUTED this time.Rocket Mick will be unable to make LIVERPOOL due to a PROMISE i cannot break even for NEW ORDER.So you can RELAX Shug me ole mucker.No need to hide in the bar!

Hi

Just a reminder that tickets go on sale at 9 am tomorrow (Friday) for the Liverpool Summer Pops show.

Bring it on!

No shit

... the same time Madonna and a bunch of other twunts go on sale. Expect server crashes and other rubbish. Why they can't just stagger ticket sales instead of putting a gazillion premium shows on sale all at the EXACT SAME MOMENT i don't know.

Oh, and Gold Circle? It'll be boring as shit with the rich 'uns up the font. Well, probably not. But Gold Circle pisses me off. How come you have to pay more just to be near the front?

8 hours! Fuck, I should be asleep. Will buy them then go back to bed.

Didn't do VIP, stayed with the cheap ones - don't you be annoying me Al

Managed to get KK row! Apparently it starts at AA in the front section and single A in back section, which sounds wrong way around. Unless they were talking bobbins.

what a nightmare, got to payment screen and i all crashed finally managed to get through on phone

got seat jj, trying to view seating plan to see if they are any good

Hello, New member but fan since forever.. got tickets thankgoodness row pp. Tried to go in again to see if could improve seats but already sold out and it was only 9.05!!

You're fcut, babe. You've got me, Paul and Wolfram in front of you.

You won't be able to see a thing!

Right, I'm going to leap from KK row and jump on your shoulders

Got through on the phone at 9.10 and they'de already sold out of front seats!!! Managed to get seats in PP on ticketmaster. That'll have to do. Can't see a raid on the front like QEH though!!

Ah, yes, I probably should.

I fundamentally disagree with the principle of a 'Gold Circle'. I don't see why I should have to pay more to be at the front. I suppose the worst example of "Boring rich 'uns" is the Live8 thing where the Gold Circle at the front cost £500. (And one of the flags in the £500 ticket zone wasn't even spelt properly, ffs). There's a Gold Circle at an upcoming Pet Shop Boys gig which is £137 a ticket!

I'm sure Liverpool would be rather better mind you. It just annoys me that if you want to be at the front you've got to pay top dollar.

...what i meant to say was I really should check my spelling when I post, and get ANY sleep the night before helps as well.

there will be more available later. guarantee it.

keep checking.

and no comments about MSN-type hijacking, please. i don't have access to it where i'm being cared for.

Anybody goin from Scotland beware of outrageous train fares. The cheapest ticket goin down on Saturday and back on Sunday is £54.

There's no flights from Gla or Edin To L/pool so the best option is BA from Glasgow to Manchester from £58 all in (for the 7AM flight) and £12 return on the train from Manc Airport to L/pool. Three flights each day.

F***in extortionate for the old John Wayne. Has anybody informed then they're competing with budget airlines these days?!

Sure we will meeting up in an agree location prior to the evening's entertainment, so should see you then. Always interesting to put faces to names and on-line personalities :)

Can't be arsed checking back to see if JT has posted, but we will be there. Not sure which seats because JT's sister booked them for us when we were in Spain. Update for the likes of BA and fellow posh hotel dwellers. Radisson SAS is the hotel of choice for this jaunt. See you all there.

The delightful conversations about sheds.

anyone want a decent ticket for this gig? im just after the face value. if so then please let me know. gerry_jamieson@hotmail.com

Bloody hell, how hard was it to get a ticket in that Golden area/circle? Sold out in no time. Only managed to get in the N area in the middle section.

How many tickets were there, after the VIP allocation, in Golden area/circle?

How far is Blackpool form Liverpool?I booked a flight from Ryanair butthere is not one straight to Liverpool...is Blackpool quite close to Liverpool?? Can anyone help me out?

I bought New Order ticket today...Area N Row Q is it a good seat??Anybody Knows??

It's not far, Blackpool is part of the Merseyrail Liverpool local train service. But I dunno how close the airport is to blackpool train station.

Thanks for the information:)

tickets arrived this morning still looking for someone to take one off me

It'll be about 27 rows back from the front, so still a good view.

It's £57 on the train from London!! And takes about 3 hours. The coach is £22 and takes 5 hours!!! I think I'll get the coach (got the coach to MvC in Jan too!!) It's like being a student again!!

6 of the Darlo order got booked in some yuffth ostle so i am told. No idea where the fook it is (Yes i know Liverpool) but sent me mate £25 so nae too bad eh

Aren't you lot far.... to old to stay in one of those!

For those travelling from London to Liverpool on the train I doubt that Virgin have released cheap price tickets as yet for dates in July 2006. Keep checking their website - 6-8 weeks in advance is the usual timeframe.

Lucyjane wrote: Aren't you lot far.... to old to stay in one of those!

Must admit Lucy - i thought the Radisson was a posh gaff. Obviously not @ £85 a double. Paid more in Wetherby

We have 3 bunkbeds in the room, and we even have our own en suite...which is nice! Posh these Youth Hostels these days you know!

Lucyjane wrote: Aren't you lot far.... to old to stay in one of those!

We like to pretend we are still only 'youths'! To be honest, it was more out of necessity, tried loads of hotels, even the tourist office, and they had nothing left! (They all wanted bookings of 2 nights, cashing in)! Found the youth hostel, a room for 6, en suite, at £21 each, bed & breakfast, and it's on the Albert Dock!

As long as we all meet up a good deal beforehand and have a cracking time (as we usually manage to do) I have no objections to where anybody is staying so long as mine is at least 4* ! Looking forward to seeing you all

AA 44 and AA 45 for me and Ally (bought off ebay for not that much money - only slightly more than face value)...

Also bought another two tickets at the time - they're in row MM Gold Circle (I *think*) but they havem't arrived yet... If they arrive, then if anyone wants them...? :)

Myself and Ernie Cycle have recieved our tickets.Area N SS seats 13 and 14. Leaving leafy Bucks on Friday AM, going to Manchester on Friday as Ernie likes a lady who works in Long Legs and he wants to give her some of his hard earned cash. Then to Liverpool on Saturday where we will be staying in the Campanile hotel after the gig.

I've been to summer pops a couple of times. I saw Peter Kay and Simple Minds. It's a brilliant venue; great atmosphere. As for seating, can you imagine being able to stay in your seat when they crank up 'Slow Jam'. It's not happenin'!

If they fookin' play Slow Jam it'll be the last song they ever do - there will be a stage invasion and the fookers'll get lynched!

Stephen, i notice you are new around here. For future reference pretty much everyone here hates Slow Jam, Run Wild, Rock The Shack, Jetstream, Blue Monday, and a few others. Plus, everyone is really bored of hearing True Faith live, and most are fed up of BLT, and some are fed up of Temptation. And pretty much everyone is a pisshead.

Overnight parking at Donny rail station would be cheaper.

JT, forgot to say, we have moved up in the world a little since then, who knows, maybe next time we will make it into at least a 3*!

Hi there, I am looking for a ticket. Anyone got a spare one? Also asked that here: Buy-Sell-Forum

I bought my tickets from Ticketline but they haven't arrived yet. Anybody received theirs through Ticketline?

Nope, not yet (they're my two Gold Circle spares) - they do seem to be taking their bleeding time with sending them out whilst other agencies have already sent theirs... :\ohwell:

Bugger, The hotels I usually (Formule1 & Ibis) are sold out, bloody tourists! as are plenty of the others.

So anybody able to recommend a hotel/b&b within staggering distance.

Cheers

I knew the Formula One would be booked up, it's right on the docks and it would cost three of you about £6 each for a room!! Used it loads of times when clubbing in Liverpool, miles cheaper than a taxi, and there's always parties in every room!

aint got mine yet either.

mind you, i aint opened the mail for 3 weeks. could be by the door somewhere.

Gerry there's a guy a bit above this post in the thread asking to buy one......why not get in touch with him? (He's called "Ruined In A Day" on the thread, if that helps!)

"Your tickets will be despatched as soon as we receive them." and some other gibberish with my details on it from an email from seetickets.

So, any good pubs near the venue?

I've had 3 of these in the last week!

Loads of people must have complained???

Not got mine yet thou'

(They're another colour than gold).

Does it really matter if your tickets have arrived or not? The gig is over seven weeks away. Not as if its anything to panic about.

I'm cool about it, but loadsa other people must've complained!

I'm not at all, but a lot of others must be...

i bought from lpool council and they told me they havnt even printed the tickets yet!

Got mine yesterday...Golden circle :D

im glad enjoy

Blackpool's about 45 miles from Liverpool, think it'd take around 2 hours on the train. Don't think it's not on an Inter City route and it certainly isn't on the Merseyrail network.

More like an hour.

Uncle Liam wrote: More like an hour.

Just had a look, anywhere from 1:31 to 2:29, depending on wether or not you can get a direct train.

im glad enjoy

THANKS A LOT!!!

I hope you enjoy too...

Al Jarvis wrote: I'm confused?! What's happening at Blackpool?!

Saw a post saying someone was flying in to Blackpool airport for the gig. 1 of the replies suggested it was on the Merseyrail network. Kind of made it sound like you just hopped on a tube and it was 20 minutes away.

They've just put some cheap single fares up on the rail sites for getting to Liverpool, but there ain't any viable cheap singles back yet! The one they list isn't available.

I've booked on the 10 something to Lime St from Euston, but looking at getting a coach back for six quid!

The only problem with getting back is that it's World Cup Final Day on the Sunday, so you need to ensure you get back in time for that - which is my problem, as I booked a flight and then realised I landed at 8:10pm...

Foooooook! There's me on a coach that gets back to Victoria at 17.45. What time's kickoff?

oldmonkey wrote: Foooooook! There's me on a coach that gets back to Victoria at 17.45. What time's kickoff?

8pm - that means that you'll be pushing it to get back to Kent for that time (especially on a Sunday)...

Of course, we'll be missing the 3rd-place playoff match, as the gig is on at the same time... :p

Oh well. Of course if England are in the final I shall be getting a train back anyway, sod the cost!

Yeah, I really don't get this. Cheapies up, but nowt back.

Chuff me Al, it's normal to need a financial incentive or something special to get you to Liverpool isn't it?

No idea what my plan for the day is yet, but a pub and New Order is involved. :D

daydream believer!!!!!

I'm hoping Italy get to the final as I'm flying out of John Lennon International at 06.45 on the Sunday to sunny Rome! And at £18.99 it's costing me less than the feckin train down from Glasgow.

Liverpool - Rome - bus - Pescara - London - Glasgow £76 all in. You gotta love Ryanair.

Money down the drain my friend! Your mob have got as much chance of making the final as "The Boy" has of me buying him a pint in Liverpool.

Now if you'd said there was more chance of Scotland reaching the final than of you buying "The Boy" a pint in Liverpool, I'd have agreed with you!

Six quid on a funfare coach ticket back from the Pool ain't gonna break the bank though I hope, and the price will only go up on those. Until they offer cheap rail back from the Pool it'll do me. Should still be able to get home between 5.45 and 8.00.

Al Jarvis wrote: [Blackpool's got an airport?!

Yup! Strange but true

no funfairs on bristol travel. does that mean they've all gone - already?

12 quid on train up, but no cheap ones back yet - will they be added & so should i snap up the cheap one up? or are there none cos it's a sunday?

coach is 30 odd, but trains quicker....

New here but been reading for a while now!

I have two tickets for Summer Pops. Floor seating row A for sale at face value. Also have accommodation booked in a Wavertree B&B about 2 miles away! Have paid half of fee, full price Double room £44

If anyone is interested or knows someone please e-mail me!

P*ssed off as I can't make it now!!! But hopefully I'll get to Blackpool!

Has Liverpool got a hotel shortage or summat? Or are they using them as overspills for the jails?

I'm arriving late and flying out at 06.45 on the Sunday so not wanting to spend on a room that I'm gonna be in for about 4 hours. Can find bollocks all under a tonne and there doesn't appear to be such a thing as an airport hotel.

Any suggestions?

No hotel shortages at all. Overspills? That was almost funny. I've noticed a few barbs against Liverpool and Scousers from yourself lately. What's the problem? If you don't like the city or it's people why bother coming? I always thought Glasgow and Liverpool were pretty much the same. Maybe not.

Have you tried the Marriott South which is the Old Liverpool Airport? The nearest one's I can think of are the Alicia and the Solna in Sefton Park about 5 miles away from the airport or the Devonshire Hotel on Edge Lane, Wavertree which is about 7 miles away. There are loads around the city centre though much less than a ton.

I can't dig you anyway as A: I'm a Catholic B: my surname is Scottish and C: I like Glasgow. It just appeared in almost each post about coming to Liverpool a dig was made which was old hat. Something newer would be appreciated though! Anyway I'm sure we will look after you at the pre gig piss up.

It would appear (after initially searching for hotels myself about a month ago), that there isn't a lot of choice on that particular weekend (possibly something to do with it being in the summer, and the fact that a lot of tourists visit Liverpool on their hols - maybe for the Beatles connections?)

Anyway, most/all Travel Lodges/Travel Inns/Holiday Inns/etc seem to be fully booked up now - good luck with finding something...

You like Glasgow?!! You can have it!! I found The Alicia earlier on today but it said it was 20 mins from the airport. Suppose that's pretty close right enough. The Marriot South was £120 which works out at about £40 for every hour I'm gonna be there. Not ideal.

We stayed at the Alicia a couple of weeks ago. £65.00 for a single and £90.00 for a double. A bit shabby but for the time you're staying it doesn't matter.

could try May Duncans on Everton Road. i.e Pub/B&B

Lord Nelson hotel by Lime Street Station in town, same as above.

Lord Nelson is where I'm staying.

5 mins from Lime Street station. about 10 mins to the Gig venue.

£54 for a basic single.

crackin little pub with boss telly's on most walls at the end of the hallway as you go in past the reception too. with pool table. if the pub is full, they serve you at your table. European service. don't get much of that usually.

Don't worry there's time yet.

Failing that, you can always mug some kid on the way in for his ticket.

Mine arrived today. I feel ripped off for £40 a time. Least they could've done is one of those souvenir tickets.

After last nights gig my impression is that no matter where you will be seated you should have a decent view. The only problem is, the heat inside the tent is intense or I thought it was last night. Good sound too.

Really looking forward to the Order now.

SEND IN THE CLOWNS!

WELL... the time has come to see New Order again; in ALL there glory!

It will take a 7 hour plane ride from the states to the UK, cuz im crazy like that!

I was overwelmed with there gigs last year in Chicago and New York I can't seem to get enough of there musical talent and and more importantly how they all kept it together over the years thru good times and bad.

I hope Barney has fully recovered from his accident last year in California from saving his friend from a shark attach, i guess this is one way of knowing who your real friends are:)...

Thanks very much just phoned them but taking me hubby so single no good ..The girl who answered couldn`t have been nicer and advised me to ring tourist info tomorrow or even Sat morning so all is not lost but still frakin big time

Hi everyone

Hope you're all looking forward to the gig - I work for the promoters. Doors open at 7pm with the support band Alloy Mental on at 8pm - New Order will be on just before 9pm and the curfews 11pm.

Best of luck - hotels were in short supply when the gig was announced - must be Japanese tourists going on holiday to visit Beatles musuems?

hoping to see you there around 4 p.m

looking forward to it

It may be a little late but Ticketmaster are selling front row seats for the Liverpool gig. I have just bagged myself and my mates seats in row EE - five rows from the front. For smaller parties there are still seats available on row DD.

It is going to cost us a fortune as we already had seats way back on row R - but it is worth it to get this close ! If anyone still wants tickets I will have the row R seats available at a discounted price - ceremony@tesco.net

Can't wait to hear all about the gig, wish i was there.

Same set as athens. the bouncers were CUNTS! steve, the most polite man out of all of us got thrown out after 5 songs for being on the wrong end of the row of seats! That ruined it for me £42 down the pan for him!

Thanks to hooky 4 trying to sort the bouncers out for us (threatened to pull the gig!) & thanks to them for throwing me out at the end for trying to talk to andy liddle (lighting man)

Rocket mick got thrown out for dsncing too vigourously (yeah i find it hard to believe as well, he's a big lad!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

ps went to 2 nice weddings after the gig!

alcohol its ace!

Awww MAN...WTF

Wankers.

Cunts want thrashing for that, Hooky shoulda bassed a few of them.

PIssed off by proxy, of Bangor.

Big Clive wrote:

He told me he got thrown out cause he's old!!!!

Three rows from front last night - FANTASTIC! Felt a bit sorry for that woman in the middle of the front row who wanted to sit down with her kids through the whole gig...

Bouncers were wankers, but how cool was it when Hooky told them that he'd walk off stage and leave them to deal with "the consequences" if they didn't pack it in? What made it even better was when the guy in question went off in a huff!

D'you reckon that the start of BM was meant to merge into TPK? Hooky and Bernard looked surprised when THAT drum beat kicked in... Ceremony was just awesome.

Top night to be fair, even though security were dickheads. There was a bit of a comedy cat and mouse chase between some guy and a policewoman and guard that lasted for about a song, but i think they eventually got him Highlights were YSF and TPK for me, and Bizarre Love Triangle sounds awesome live, as did Krafty, very impressed by those ones. Cheers to Ally, Nick and everyone else - great first gig roll on Blackpool!

No bother Shug, going back to the late seventies it was a regular arrangements by the skinheads on Lowfields Terrace, who didn't give you an option about coughing up. Thanks to all who contributed.

Given that the management obviously knew the problems caused by all seater venues (After the 87 fiasco they Wembley now has a standing area for this Octobers gig) they must accept some culpability in the sorry affair. So, Andy Robinson if you are reading, he's still a few bob short.

Both security and police were out of order in the way they managed the event.

On the good side, one of the security was saying "after what "he" said they won't be allowed to play Liverpool again." Excellent! I can't think of another reason that would get me there.

Sounds like I missed out on a top night... Cannot wait to read the blog... did you get any pictures of the copper?

Top night in the end after everyone was eventually allowed down the front after Hooky's words to the cnut bouncers.Thanks Hooky!

Cant add much more than's already been said about the security stuff.Superb how Hooky sorted em out

There was one lad who pushed a security guy and then scarpered down one of the rows .Security were trying to see where he had hidden and then to my disbelief some cnut behind me pointed him out to the bouncer,what a wnker

This was an ongoing scene for a lot of the gig

Nearly forgot I managed to get an £80 on the spot fine for being pushed by a 6ft policeman. CUNT. All I said was "Don't push me you fucking wanker" Everyone was pissing themselves as I got lead away for my details to be taken. And a big thanks to Lucy, JT and Al (I think it was them) who arranged a collection and got £60 for the CORBY 1's fine

you see thats your biggest mistake. My cousin is a rozzer and she has said she can issue an on the spot fine to someone who has sworn at her BUT she can't if they call her a pig. What you should of said is "Don't push me you pig!".. and they would of been powerless

of course the twats who made up security at the gig would of probably thrown you out for health and safety reasons

Apart from the cunts on security the gig was fantastic and they didn't worsten my enjoyment, it was my first time seeing the band and they were fantastic. Personal highlights were the JD tracks (would of loved to have seen "atmosphere" - but beggers can't be choosers), "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Blue Monday" and "The Perfect Kiss".

Although I was only getting over chicken pox, I'm so glad I went, I had fantastic seats 6 rows from the front stage right.

Now I wish I was seeing them at Wolvo....

A few pics to keep yer going til Hibster posts his :)

Sorry about quality of some (all? lol) :)

Time Indeed!!

Bernard was going on about playing k-klass re-mix of True Faith, but i can't see it listed on here. Was it ever released or did he get confused?

A fantastic night & great to hear a couple of "new" Oldies ! Apart from Hookies Bass sounding like a twat for a while ! The sound was excellent & even the Bernies vocals sounded spot on. Seems as though he has toned down the whooooping. I was sat back in the tiered seats, but can someone tell me whether BS has lost weight cos he looked fit as f**k from the back 'bopping about' !! And thanks to the Adelphi for having an electrical problem and putting us into the 'Thistle Hotel', upgraded to the the penthouse with free taxi's * car parking thrown in + only ten minutes walk to the venue. Extra bonus cos it looked a proper shithole. Bumped into some nice folks during the day, so top marks to the scousers......... very friendly people & wicked sense of humour !! Looking forward to October & my first local gig since Sunderland '83'.

When he started going on about K-klass i thought they were going to do Ruined In A Day as K-klass of course did the superb Reunited In A Day remix of that.Did k-klass ever do a remix of True Faith?

Excuse me, i'm testing to see if i can post. Just spent half an hour doing a detailed gig report, submitted it and it's disappeared

How strange

Jem, it times you out if you spend too much time typing. Do it on Word then cut and paste if you know it's going to be long. Try the back arrow at the top of the page to retrieve your essay.

Gee fanks mister, i'll do that!

loved the gig as always, with 24 hours as well (not 24h pp as barney wryly commented)

wouldnt bother me if new order were banned from the city. friendly people, but those "yella jackets" as hooky so eloquently called them, were complete tossers. we were about the row behind the so called vip seats. great view in front of barney but I thought youd be able to dance in the aisle. until i was told to get back and dance in my seat. tried again and had a "polite" go at a bouncer when told to get back again. i told him to sort all the other people out and i think thankfully to hooky and the jackets losing control of the numbers they grumpily retreated.

what was all that nonsense of our finest constabulary sticking hallogen beams into the crowd and filming??? a no gig is hardly an anarcho-terrorist meet up.

perhaps it should be. cheers to new order. next up for me and my dearest is blackpool. top venue to dance away. and if you wish to sit and have a view from the balcony, then you can. will not do the pops again. a great gig despite the jackets

Told you thats what i did in athens! :(

Erm.............

Another problem was that the Bar etc refused to accept my money as it was Scottish notes despite the factor it is legal tender. As I had travelled down on the day it is all that we had and they refused us passout to go to a cash machine..... So a whole gig with a hint of a drink !!!!!

I managed to get your autograph off my arm ok! Bet you've got a hangover?

I had an absolutely amazing day yesterday, met so many people. I thought it was the best meet-up ever, we filled the pub! I arrived at my hotel at about 1.30 and was pacing my room waiting for somebody to play out with. Luckily Al, Nick, JG, Wolfram and Pompey Order weren’t far behind. We went straight out to the Slaughterhouse in the centre.

Ness was already in there (with a Viking tattoo) and Greg. It soon filled up, Lucy Jane (with half a tattoo), JT, Monty, Kershaw, Uncle Liam, AgentWood, Dave Legge, Midnight Blue, Marc, GaryMac, Fradders, GlasVegas, PHD, Shug (thanks for my badges – I love them!), Old Monkey, Baldrick, John Sludden, Aberdeen Order (well Royster!) Lunatic Fridge and his son Ethan, ChrissMari, Julie and German Order who had a good turnout with matching New Order away strips! (Forgive me if I’ve missed anyone out). Bonzette and Barney Army arrived fashionably late, as did Diamond. Still, better late than never eh?

Special mention to new Chorwich Order buddy Rocket Mick (who couldn’t keep his clothes on – exhibitionist – still, with a physique like that, you’ve got to flaunt it!). I nearly went cross eyed when he walked in with Diggy Mike and Johnny all in beautifully loud Hawaiian shirts! If I blink now, I still have the imprint of the shirt designs on my retina’s.

Oh and thanks to Big Twat Clive who asked if he could borrow my phone then proceeded to text random numbers on my phone pretending he was me and asking if I could lick their bum – I can’t wait to face my boss tomorrow! You will pay boyo, revenge will be sweet!

Me and Monty got told off back at the hotel for doing rolly polly’s in the corridor. I woke up this morning with a swollen ankle, two fresh bruises and I’ve lost a nail, sign of a good night out!

The gig itself, apart from the bunch of security wankers was brilliant. Hooky handled the situation brilliantly – respect! One of the security staff caught me flicking V’s at him and so he kept coming over asking to check my ticket and scowling at me – dick head.

Me and Bonz were rioting in the aisles, especially when TPK came on. I think I must have lost a stone last night! I’m amazed I could even speak this morning after all the singing (well, er shouting) I did.

Brilliant day out – you NOOLers rock!

Given that the management obviously knew the problems caused by all seater venues (After the 87 fiasco they Wembley now has a standing area for this Octobers gig) they must accept some culpability in the sorry affair. So, Andy Robinson if you are reading, he's still a few bob short.

Both security and police were out of order in the way they managed the event.

On the good side, one of the security was saying "after what "he" said they won't be allowed to play Liverpool again." Excellent! I can't think of another reason that would get me there.

I'm sorry you don't like Liverpool very much Jim.

However you are right about seated venues. I think New Order and The Who have been the liveliest bands at the Pops this year so it was obvious that there would be trouble. Saw it a mile away.

Me and Al ( not Jarvis ) will gladly clear Shug's remaining bill. I'll email him in the morning.

Can't believe the hoo ha afterwards. Merseyside police are renowned knob heads anyway. Waste of space.

I doubt New Order will play Liverpool again. It's been five years since they last played so that will take us to 2011!

Oooh Promises!

Did you get anyone accepting your offer anyway? Other than "are you completely mad" from your straight laced work collegue, actually probably a good judge of character

I'm going round doing it on Tuesday

PHD and other scousers that I spoke to last night

PHD your lovely friends were the only nice thing about Liverpool for us. So please don't take our dislike of your city personally. JT has never been keen but the WPC outside told me to remove him otherwise she would arrest him (for talking I assume!!) It was plain to see that Merseyside Police were not running the show and doing their jobs. It was the gorillas in yellow that were really in charge.

On a more lighter note, what a fantastic piss up, great to meet all the usual suspects and to meet a lot of new ones. It is always a pleasure to be amongst such lovely people and have a right good laugh and of course a right good bitch. Tim especially knows what I mean!!!

Looking forward to October and especially miffed that JT and I can't make next weekend.

Not many people seemed to have cameras this time, what's all that about then!!!

P.S to Bonz, will we ever get chance to talk for more than 5 minutes without being whisked away by men!!!

Oh Yeh, New Order were fantastic Shame I forgot the reason I was there.
