First post. Who's going? The wife and I will be travelling up from Norfolk on the day, and would be nice to share a drink or two with some familiar names. We're booked into the Deansgate Premier Inn, so any advice around that would be appreciated.

A few of us will be in the usual place for the Manchester pre gig drinks if anyone wants to join us.

Clive. The Paramount is our usual meet up point. Not very far from the Deansgate PI.

Then the Paramount is where we shall head. For means of identification, I'll be the one with a head shaped like Kryten's.

I got my return ticket booked, don't have to a) quit my job and stay in Manchester or b) sell my soul to come home. One of those options would have been better than the other  |

I'm a little concerned because I want to meet-up and catch-up with all my old friends but it does look like there are going to be 2 separate meet-up venues. Katie on the FB page has secured a private venue for the meet-up across the road from the gig and then obviously there's the people going to the Paramount as usual. I don't mind where I go but I will be upset if I miss some people because they go to the opposite venue to me!

That's a shame Sarah but hopefully whatever you decide to do I'm sure you could catch up with people at the gig.

Hi Sarah, sorry that you feel torn. Myself and a couple of others did try to suggest the Paramount as a meet up venue for everyone as it's always been great when we've gone before but we were either dismissed or completely ignored!

I did notice that actually Hayley. I mentioned the Paramount too way back when tickets first went on sale and got overlooked as well. I'm going up Nat and crazy Hayley so I shall see what they want to do. I just don't see why we can't all go to the same place it's the old us and them thing coming back into play but not from our side I hasten to add! |

I have no idea who is meeting where on account of binning off the FB groups cos the mentallists were doing my nut in.
As Denis Norden used to say, it'll be alright on the night x

I'm Kate from the fb groups . I followed these boards but never posted ... You guys used to be very intimidating:)
I'm sorry if you feel you were in someway dismissed . That really is no ones intention. No one is left out it's an all inclusion policy as far as I'm concerned:) The paramount is now swamped by barflies and no longer resembles it's former self.
I know this was the old meeting spot circa 2006 but it's really not been updated since it's nothing but a dive ( this was earlier dismissed I might add) . Take my word for it as a manc ! I hope everyone has a fab time and if you all feel like coming over to kro before the gig it would be lovely for everyone to mingle.
There is bunch of open welcoming people for you all to get to know and let's face it we are all here for the same thing good live music from a great band we have all loved and followed for years.

Edit -
Glen I know you hate deleting, sorry! Had taken my post off as I had messaged Katie directly for a chat, not realising it had been responded to!

I know there are loads of groups of friends formed and that's great . It's part of what makes the family special. Like I say please don't think there is was any intent I think some of the organisation you speak of must have been done here and not everyone visits x There really is no need to feel like there is anyone left out ! I'm hoping to meet up with some of you guys . If timing wise you can't make it from the centre of town before the gig Kro have been so sweet and sorted an after party too . I'm happy to introduce around as I'm not shy at asking who's who ! X would be lovely to have everyone together x

Paramount was fine in early April. Has it changed that much since then ? Anyway, it's cheap, it's convenient for trains and coaches and hotels, it's big and easy to find, and many of us will be there from around two to three in the afternoon. Full on sesh. it's as good a starting point for what promises to be another legendary Manc night out. Kro is dead handy for the gig of course as it's only over the road. |

FB groups? How many are there now?
Glen, I'm sure that a hat will be in attendance.
