Hmmm, you've got a point there. Hope they don't let Chavs in. Avoid Burberry, stripey Lacoste, tracky bottoms, baseball caps halfway up your head and you might be alright.

Don't worry we'll all be meeting up beforehand. The usual thing is there will be about 20 threads arguing about where to meet, then somebody will realise it's been shut down for years or won't let us in, then a mass panic until somebody decides on a venue about an hour before the gig. Just keep reading up before you go.
It never works though - you always seem to find us however hard we try to throw you off the scent!
Combining a little family break in Blackpool with this one.Taking the kids out of school for a couple of days,so a tad naughty..Mrs BRF and the juniors are gunna large it down the pleasure beach for the evening,and free me up for the ballroom gig,so tickety-boo there....I'll be the Billy-no-mates geek on his todd,in the mosh-pit if anybody fancies a chinwag 
That is up until now...chances are,an assortment of Redcar lads and lasses will get wind and come along too.

70 rooms, has to be worth a gander at that price even if it's not great! That price includes breakfast.
EDIT: "The hotel welcomes same-sex parties". It may well be a gay hotel! Should be good for some gay disco then!
The Cliftons great I stayed there the other week for Radiohead. I think Ill be booked into a special B+B for New Order though, called me mum and dads house. Very good rates apparently
The Clifton's a smashing hotel. Slap bang in the middle of everything. Old victorian building, right on the seafront. Ask 'em if you can have a room facing the prom. Good price aswell. About the same sex parties I think it refers to hen/stag nights. A lot don't want all the hassle. Some pubs are the same.
Yes going to be largeing it for this one hope to see the usual faces and few new! So we are doing the usual pub before arguments? Adams from blackpool maybe he has some suggestions.
Hello Gregory!
I suggest the pub next to the venue. Quite spacious and seemed nice enough when i was last in it.
Just booked a ticket this morning after deliberating.New Order in Blackpool is too good a crack to miss!!!
Is that bloody 'Manchester' pub still there? (rip off,dodgy bar staff central) Not been up for a few years now.
oo i do like to be beside the seaside,o i do like to be beside the prom,o i do like to be beside the seaside,where the brass band play -- FUCK OFF WEST BROM !!
OPPS SORRY MIKE 
FUCK OFF WEST BROM !!
Not a poblem, they are shite , can't wait for this gig
Adam, what's the venue like ?

I really like it, theres no sloped floor though, so if youre a littlun youre a bit fucked. It gets slightly warm too, I remember the heat haze above the crowd at the Roses in 89. Its got a sprung dancefloor though, so thats gonna be going like a trampoline during Ceremony.
As far as pubs go, Ill be in the Blue Room, about 50 yards up from the Winter Gardens on Church street, Ive been going there for 20 odd years so why break the habit of a lifetime? You`re very welcome to join me unless you all fancy one of the every man for himself pubs down on the front
Also I know that one of the support bands is from Blackpool, my mate teaches photography with one of the guys in it.
Wot time is everyone up there? I'm seriously thinking of booking a day's holiday on that Monday.
got myself a ticket
my first two NO gigs ever booked for this year then, Liverpool and Blackpool!

That's what i'm doing. Can't wait!
For those who havent been its a top venue, I saw charlatans a few yrs ago there. It has a great ritz manchester style bouncy dancefloor, if they play ceremony you might bang head on ceiling!!

Given that I'm 6'4", that's a given... At least I'll wake up in the morning with a headache, which I can blame on something else!
