I agree, it would be nice if they came back to the states and did a tour. I just hope that if that does happen, that they would make stops in other areas besides the west coast and the north east. Would like to not have to drive 8+ hours to see them concert.

More chance of Britney Spears waking you up with a blowjob, sorry!

FFS, there's quite a few of us around who'd kill to drive for eight hours to see NO live!

I don't get these sorts of posts. They're an _English_ band and they don't like to travel much anymore. You need to be prepared to make an effort if you're overseas. If they tour your country, assume it'll be the last time and buy the internal airfare or make a weekend of it in the car.

Make haystacks while the morning sun shines - or something.

Bit too spread out these, aren't they?! :nono:

22 May 2006, 07:25

Glasgow and London for me then.

22 May 2006, 07:25

Time off booked!

London, Blackpool, Wolves and (possibly) Newcastle.

They enforce a 2-week break at our place and I was sorta hoping to use it for these but the split ain't really ideal. Do the first two weeks off then, er, and additonal Friday arvo / Monday morn for Wolves?!

Expect some of these will get second dates.

Not Wembley though. :uhoh:

22 May 2006, 07:32

I just hope that since they're touring together, even a little, that they'll patch up whatever diferences Hooky was referring to in the Bangkok Post interview and finish up their next album!

Hopefully they'll be on the left side of the pond some day so I can see them and die happy.

You'd hope so. Wolves on the Saturday I hope.

That would mean three nights on the trot! You really think Barney could hack it?! :uhoh:

I'm thinking of them all! Time off no problem, October should be good.

22 May 2006, 08:05

Going to do all of them as well...

London - no problems (live near there, no time off, no hotels) Wolverhampton - some of my work is based in Telford, so can charge back hotel and travel to work :) Glasgow - RyanAir have very cheap fares for the date announced - half day off on Wednesday afternoon, and *might* not need half day off on Thursday morning (depends whether I can be arsed to get an extremely early flight in the morning!) Newcastle - EasyJet flight - same scenario as above Blackpool - bit more complex, although *could* combine that into a work scenario - i.e. travel back to Telford in the morning! :evil4:

Trust me, I understand that they don't tour as much and if I still lived in Southern California, then an 8 hour drive would not bother me and I would do it in a heart beat.

Living where I live now, makes it a lot harder to travel anywhere due to how poorly the roads are designed. A two hour drive in So Cal, will take close to 4 hours out here. It is also harder for me to find someone to babysit my two indoor dogs out here, so I just can't go make a weekend out of it. I wish I could, just can't right now.

It's my birthday as well, and I know for sure what by birthday present will be this year :evil4:

I was screwed last year because I took my vacation in October, this year I kept a week for October just in case :p

22 May 2006, 09:10

Those dates are a nightmare though... would have loved to do Glasgow and London, but they are more than a week apart.

Logical one seems London and Wolverhampton (wherever that is) which is on my birthday indeed.

Certainly get a different feel for UK venues I guess?

Wembley is new and vast and (virtually)all-seated and sterile.

Wolves will be the exact opposite. :uhoh:

22 May 2006, 09:30

Glasgow looks most likely for me, flights are only £36 return. Quite liked the Carling Academy as a venue when I went to see Morrissey in Glasgow. Would have liked to have made it for the Newcastle one but its on the same night as Northern Ireland vs Latvia.

At this point, I'll use all I can to get on the guest list.. can't afford to buy tickets this week, I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks and a half :(

Since it's seated (and probably reserved), it's my only hope to have anything better than back rows ;) though I would probably have no problem to have a photo pass, but still.

I can also do Glasgow/Blackpool, since they are the only other pair of dates that could fit in a week, but somehow, I think doing London is a good thing. (Plus you know how I like those big venues right? :evil4: )

22 May 2006, 09:56

BTW, Tim, if you read this... there is a nice huge slot opened to make NOOL Day on October 28 :p

With 5 months in advance, don't tell me there is no venue in whole London on that date ;)

chance would be that it would get organised and then new order fill that blank spot. but I'm sure between us we can think of somewhere. off the top of my head - my favourite smyths gig this year was at bloomsbury bowl. music, bowling, hen parties ... it had the holy trinity!

22 May 2006, 10:22

Will be going to the London one. Wonder if they will release 'Turn' as a single in October to promote the tour? :laugh:

Wouldn't surprise me if 'Control' is released around this time.

I am sure we (Corby Order) will be doing them all if we can still get tickets after we get back from Spain. Funds are at an all-time low and John's credit card has already had two heart attacks and a triple bypass.

It would be good to finally meet up fer a beer or three Nic

22 May 2006, 10:50

Wolves surely the pick of these, no? Great venue.

And there's more chance of Liam appearing topless on the front cover of "Mens' Health" than them selling out Wembley Arena, surely?????

It would be rude not to

if i can:

a) find enough change under my sofa and underneath my car seat to pay for it, and

b) get some time off,

then perhaps london and wolverhampton.

And as much chance of Stoke being selected to be European Capital of Culture :laugh:

22 May 2006, 10:57

Well I shall be doing them all, fuck the credit card!

22 May 2006, 11:06

fuckin blackpool here we come,only up the road from me, top stuff. look forward to seeing some of the loons from in ere there. cant wait :D

22 May 2006, 11:22

Nice one, A gig on my home turf :clap:

I'm definitely doing Newcastle (goes without saying), London and one more. Maybe Glasgow cos I had a top time last time I was up there

22 May 2006, 11:32

Wemberley and wolves for me and then hold out for somewhere exotic like Paris.

Although i reckon brighton centre or portsmouth guildhall may be added as nothing for us soft southern shites.....
