National Express runs coaches between Manchester Airport and Leeds I think.

Oh the shame, thought I'd just shark in and correct my 'tapping too quickly' spelling error and look what's happened??? :oops: a whole new post. I may have to crawl away OR highlight it even more by drawing even more attention to it. :lol:

Just want to add in a bit of randomly discharged excitement to this thread.

I'll be their for the pre-drink. Even though the Fenton is far and away the better pub, the dry dock is directly opposite Leeds Met and really easy to find for out-of-towners. So that's where I'll be as well :)

This is going to be A LOT of fun.

Speculation on who'll be doing support? It'd be great if he got Salvation to do it. Red Lorry Yellow Lorry would be good as well.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

I went to the Damnation Festival at the Met Uni in 2007 (Damnation is a metal festival) and I remember watching the Rugby World Cup final in the Fenton,before wandering back to the venue to watch Kreator play some thrash.

I think most non-Leeds people are staying in the Travelodge on Vicar Lane.

Got my tix today - very nice design:

Anyone knows something about the size of the venue? I've seen some pics via google - looks a bit like squeezed a borg cube:

That looks pretty fancy!

And that Travelodge indeed does seem to be the place to be...

And if they don't Manchester Airport has it's own railway station,so getting a train across to Yorkshire shouldn't be hard.
Just ordered my tickets for the Thursday night from Crash records,to go with the Wednesday ones I got last month.
