Is anyone else going? I'm really looking forward to this.
I wonder should I book train/ bus tickets to the gig in advance?

johnnycnandy

Ya, I'm headin to the friday and sunday shows. Absolutely buzzin for it now. Flying from Korea for 3 days for it! There'll be shuttle buses running between HP and the city centre on the days of the gigs. Tickets can be purchased on the day.

I cannot wait!! I'm going Sinday night.. Seems like I've been waiting for this for aaaaggggeess..

Going Sunday night. Flying into Liverpool Saturday. Just hope the crowd is loud enough to drown out Brownies singing.

We are going on the Friday. Cant wait. The hotels where mad money for the weekend (we are going Thurs to Sun). Ended up getting some reasonably priced accomodation in the gay village. We also have tickets for the Sunday but we cant go to that now so going to see if I can get somebody to take them off my hands over the next week.

christeb

Yep, will be there for the Friday homecoming gig. Cannae wait.

I'm flying into Liverpool on the Saturday night, heading down to Manchester on the train Sunday morning for the gig Sunday night....got a present of a VIP hospitality ticket..Also heading to Phoenix Park on the Thursday!!! Cannot wait now!!!

I'm there for sunday night, what time do you think the roses will hit the stage at? don't fancy standing in a field for hours listening to the support bands(fairly poor tbh).

Im going friday and making a weekend of it. There should be some craic around the city with a quarter of a million roses fans hitting various afterparties

Ouravit

Yeah. Heading to Manchester for Saturday. Largin it with the fans that night and gig ticket in back pocket for the Sunday. Should be super. Looking forward to the moment when this rings out around Heaton Park. Roses intro tune..

Got me a ticket for the friday night, myself and a few mates heading over on the Thursday for the weekend - never been to Manchester, heard its great craic! Working till Wednesday so this week should fly by!!!

Heading over on Thursday morning with a gang of the lads, heading to the Friday gig (looking forward to seeing The Scream aswell!!) and staying on in Manchester till Sunday. Heading to Factory251 for the aftershow meltdown after our concert on Friday. Should be epic!! Then seeing them in the Phoenix Park the following Thursday!!

Alton_Dalton

Looks like every single bedspace is gone for that weekend. Closest accommodation available for that weekend is in Huddersfield. For a city with two of the biggest football teams in the world, that's some achievement...

I'm also going on the Friday, staying for the weekend. All beds are long gone, we've people on the floor in our room.

johnnycnandy

My head is nearly exploding from excitement. Gonna be some craic around the city next weekend. Where are people going for after parties? Undecided between the Ruby Lounge and Factory's.

Hey folks, does anyone know where in the city the shuttle bus terminates after the gig?

Cheers

I would say the bus will terminate at the coach station on Chorlton Street but I am not 100%

The CIS building is on miller street very close to Victoria Train Station

Im thinking of getting the Metro. It will be running. The only stop that will close is Heaton Park after the gig. Bowker Vale is the next stop down and isnt that far. the coaches could take ages to get throught the gridlock!

Actually. Just checked there and it probably wont work for me on sunday as last tram is 23:19. It would be very tight

If you are going friday or Sat last tram is about 1am so you will be fine

I've got the tram back fro Old Trafford before (similar amount of people) and they're rammed alright buy its only 1 5minutes or so from Heaton Park back to the city.

You'll do well to get a taxi.

Loads of good boozer in Manchester. Can't remember the name of the indie club, but the keyboard player Clint Boon from Inspiral Carpets DJs on a Saturday night.
Check out Afflecks palace during the day for some quirky shops.
Lots of cheesey bars with Coronation Street heads down by the canal

Afflecks Palace is great. Spent hours in there last time I was in Manchester.
