err? photo aint showing 
Brilliant! Good to see Barney giving a nod to the fan support- very glad to have got my own pin off Al as well (thanks matey)- no doubt about it- we are very much one world in motion!
having wiped away the tears, I wanted to say that the photo is wonderful and disproves my idea of Barney being an aloof twat. Thank You
Tis currently the pic on the BBC radio page also, even more pride for Al.
I heard that Barney emailed all his mates this morning...
"Gues what? Saw that Al Jarvis last night - HE HAD THE SAME BADGE AS ME!!!"

Barney's badge is soooo last season though! :D
The real question is has AL attended MORE New Order gigs than BARNEY?
PROBABLY!
In MIND and BODY

Welcome.
Vikings = just a bunch of people (many posting here) who do New Order gigs together. Bit like a knitting circle, but with more alcohol.
Nice Badges Al.
I was impressed to find out you made them yourself. Classy and involved!
Sounds like a great night. If only every gig was like this, only 5 times as long!

Since you printed only 100, that's a little fortune though, I hope people really enjoy them
I should know, I tried to find prices to do NOOL pins, but turned out to be a little too expensive in small quantities
Like the badges. 80's/90s hooligan chic.
Calling cards next lads?
'Congaratulations. You have just been tuned in by The New Order Vikings'.

Surely that should read: "Welcome to Valhalla! You've just been raped, pillaged and ransacked by The Vikings"???
If we ever worried about the band's attitude to us - there's the answer
When did you give him the badge Al?
(I'll wear mine with even more pride now!)

Gave Hooky one (oo, er), not Barney though. Must've got it from their roadcrew. They've got loads of 'em!

well,al attended the band signing stand at t-in-park but barney didnt.apparently barney got up late for some reason and was still at hotel 
I was so chuffed with the badge Al that I started looking online for a suitable thank you present.
Not quite up to the vikings standard I know, but I bet Barney would get his camera out if he saw you wearing it!

Feckin Barney groupies!!
I just wish I had the time, or the inclination, or even the plastic surgeon really. Then, I would definitely consider the options. The nearest I ever came to being a groupie was waiting outside Birmingham Odeon and asking Ali Campbell from UB40 for his autograph! I was so scared I nearly p'd my pants! Does that count?

i showed badge off to hooky last night at his blackburn d.j.set and he laughed and he said he'd seen lots of them already this week
Must say that Al deserves a f**king good round of applause from all NOOLers who attend gigs and are handed free badge pins.
Al asks nothing for them, just hands them out to the first NOOLers to attend. Next get together, I reckon Al should be forbidden from putting his hand in his pocket for beers and we should ALL buy for him (and get him a cab/ambulance home if necessary)
Absolutely top work - the Mrs has been proudly displaying her badge to everyone who'll look (probably down her top rather than at the pin, but who cares if it promotes New Order?)
Just thinking, if any twat EVER tries selling one on Ebay, they'll get an abrupt and angry knock on the door...
So cheers Al - thanks for all that you do!

Spot on - though buying Allen a beer is fucking difficult: I tried several times before the Hyde Park gig and he aways had at least three "in the tap" waiting for him - poor fella looked practically worn out by the queue of lagers waiting for him. Though when I met Stash in Barcelona he denied all knowledge of ever having heard of Mr Jarvis. Perhaps he never got badge?
Doc - I've tried before as well, to be told, 'Cheers mate, but I've got a few lined up.'
Still, if I ever manage to get to a pub BEFORE Mr Jarvis, then I'll get them in and lined up ready...

We've yet to meet, right Chris? Though I do remember a certain Rocket Michael enthusiastically pointing out your missus in the Audley. Unbridled lust direct from Chorley.....
Cheers, Gents.
I did get a phonecall on Friday as well saying that these two gentlemen are after Vikings badges too.

On my life! Andy Liddle does their lights, and New Order's lights, and gave me a bell.
You might all want to check out these guys - they might be at the next gig...

Liddle's a bona fide Viking, they're his mates so I guess we could let them in by default?!
We could perhaps fast-track their application forms, make an exception in this instance cos their previous work with the Order?! ;)
Cheers again for the badge, Al.
Wore it at Anfield on Saturday and got a few good comments.
Is there going to be a 24 carat gold, diamond encrusted one for anyone making it to Ally Pally in November ?
