Where's everybody stopping? I'm really tempted! Just looked,I can still get tickets. It's on the night of Xmas works do.Let me see...shall I spend it with a load of backstabbing C**TS or shall I boogie on down my very good mates?
Us girls are in the Malmaisson, thanks to Emily's brother. Gazman is sorting out digs for the smelly boys.

Yes, definitely spend it with us! 
Read today that the 'guerilla venue' this is taking place in gets bulldozed in January to make way for flats. I've got visions of it being like that awful place Kraftwerk played in Krakow only even colder. At least there'll deffo be a bar this time. No doubt understaffed and selling warm cans of some unheard of brand at £4 a go.
Cannae wait.

Can't even spell it proper like. You can take the girl out of Bolton.....
Anyway, it's all about 'Abode' nowadays, the Mal's so 90's. Johnny Giles' hotel of choice when he's up here as I recall.
There's a rumour going round (in the Scottish Sun today, apparently?) that the date and venue has been changed to 27th December at the Carling Academy...
If that's the case, I'm going to go outside and shout very loudly....

I really really wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. As I mentioned in my 'Why Promoters Should Talk To Each Other' thread, on the same night you've got Primal Scream at the 5000 capacity SECC and an almost sold-out Complete Stone Roses gig at the Aacdemy (2500 capacity).
I would be surprised if this Hacienda thing has sold more than a few hundred tickets. Three gigs targetting the same crowd in a city the size of Glasgow aint ever gonna work.
Bugger, it's been confirmed...
And I've bought train tickets which are non refundable...
Aaaaargghhhhh....

Cheeky fuckers! Do they think we button up the back? DF (the promoters) have decided to cut their losses due to a monumental fuck up on their part by putting the gig on on that particular night with so much other competition in the city.
If they'd have spoken to Regular Music they'd have known about the Primals gig (anounced after FAC 51 but on the slate MONTHS before it) and if they'd paid attention they'd have seen that Colours were doing TWO dates with the Complete SR on Fri and Sat.
And now that loads of folk are out of pocket for travel etc they blame it on that old 'licensing issues' chestnut. Licensing my spotty arse!

its defo in the sun with no ACR on the bill.
And to top it off they've rescheduled it for Old Firm matchday. It'll be fucking carnage about the town on that night with it being the 'festive' season too. Avoid.

Ye'd better hope yer team get beat OutofOrder 
What a pain in the cnut.
At least they've rescheduled it for my next trip up north so will still be around.
Who's still on for this?
I've got two tickets, but can't make either date.
I assume I can get a refund? If anyone wants them, let me know.
I've just contacted Ticketbastard, who seemingly are unaware of any changes at the moment.
I was assured that as soon as they hear about any changes, they will notify all customers and they will be given a full refund if the new dates are not suitable.
Phew!
Well, if 808 can make the rescheduled date (dunno whether they can yet), then I'll be there on the 27th...
:dead:

Phew!
Are we still going up to Glasgow anyway for a night out on the original date?
I'm out I'm afraid, I just can't justify the expense. We still have the Manchester one on the 28th remember.
