Roll-call of those who intend to attend please - then we can begin to orchestrate a piss-up plan before and after. Limited amount of free accommodation available at Sloppy Towers (but remember it's a no smoking, no drinking establishment :lol: )

yup

Indeedy, I'll be there. And I've been firing off mails all morning to amasse a huge firm for this one.

Anyone remember the weather last time the Order played Fins-bree park, nearly 15 years to the exact date? Absolutely DIRE! And this time we havnae got a tent to protect us!

All I remember is the excitement when Hooky strapped on that six-stringer midway through, only to play As It Is... ! We were all hoping for something old..... :(

What's the capacity? do I need to get a spurt on for a ticket?

5 Mar 2002, 10:37

The thing I remember most about last time is being squeezed in so tight that it was impossible to breathe / move / go to the bar / go to the toilet for the best part of six hours!

Unfortunately, I shall not be going :( as I'm on holiday. (In Japan :))

I'll be there. Any recommendations hotel wise will be greatly appreciated.

Same as the Muffster, if anybody knows of any decent hotels or B&Bs (not too costly but not too :\puke: ) let us know.

By the way if the gates open at 1pm, there must be a fair few bands supporting besides Air. Just hope that those J.Division Wannabes stay at home unless they've improved, what were they called again something 'Wish'?

Come on - somebody must be able to make an educated guess

6 Mar 2002, 04:09

Mark - don't you foresee yourself being very poorly on the 10th of June? Surely you are entitled to a day off sick! Anyway i should imagine it will be well over by midnight (don't take my word for it though as it is a completely random guess!) Almost forgot i'll be there and wouldn't mind meeting up for a cheeky glass of pop!

Midnight ? More like about 9pm !!

6 Mar 2002, 05:13

Could all be over at 1.30pm if Barney throws his toys out of his pram and decides he can't be arsed to show! :lol:

6 Mar 2002, 05:18

Just had a thought. Air do Blue Monday. Maybe they will spare us having to hear it done by New Order !

probably not....

Anyone heard Air's last album? Now thats a f**ked up piece of work. When I went on holiday last year the hotel owners had bought the album and were piping it constantly through the internal radio thing. Some of its quite disturbing - we were convinced it was the work of some pyschadelic ex acid heads or something. Quite suprised when he told me it was Air.

I once met someone from Gabrielle's Wish in a club in Manchester. He was trying to convince me to go and see them by comparing themselves to Joy Division!

6 Mar 2002, 05:54

Aye, I`ll be there :D
