Hey Rob

Me and (long suffering) girlfriend are getting the train from Croydon to this one. We are going via London with a Network Card and its only £15 for a return ticket (valid for one month). Just buying them on the day. Assuming you have some kind of student/young person's railcard, you must be in roughly the same situation.

Only thing to mention is that our train tickets are only valid as far as Banbury (thats where the network card boundary is - Leamington is only one extra stop, so should only be a couple of quid more), but back when I was at university the student railcard covered the whole country.

I'll stop now before I sound a total trainspotter . Point I'm trying to make is that you should be good to get there and back for under £20 even if the advance deals ain't that great.

I'll be there as well, as will Claire and Stella. Looks like we'll have a bit of a party going on - want me to find out if she doesn't mind you crashing our travel lodge (it's under Stella's name)?

Can I propose that we don the whites again?

We'll be heading home after the gig, thanks for the offer though

As far as I can gather from the random Facebook messages flying around this morning, make that 13

Hmm. Just about to book when I notice the site ain't secure Oh what the hell...

Is anyone haging around Leamington for a while the day after or just heading straight for the mainland / going home?

need to check the trains but I don't think I'll be off too early the next day

Heading straight for the mainland, the train connections look very convenient. There are many trains and they go very often it seems.

Book through the Assembly website and save £5 in comparison to the Sisters site (assuming you select box office collection).

And it's secure

Ticket booked via Assembly website (Cheers Rob).

Roll on August!

We're still missing a couple of non-regular posters.
A certain local lad springs to mind. Heaven help us all when he does find out.

Forgot to mention that The Wife went to Leeds station today to see if they had a ticket cheaper than the £53 me and Derek saw on the internetty. Lady said cheap tickets will not be available until at 12 weeks before the gig.

The Heartland Leeds Contingent is better waiting until then...

see what you miss when you don't come here for a week....

absolutely the best news for fucking ages!

Oh yes!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if this'll help anyone, but with all this talk on travel arrangements, I'll be driving down on the 3rd and joining the M6 at junction 27 (not sure what time yet, probably about 1'ish) so anyone needing a lift from here or en route, gimme a shout, got 3 places. Axe wielding maniacs need not apply

I really, really shouldn't (but I'm probably going to).

Tix booked, now for the hard part of sorting the other logistical issues..

does anyone know/guesstimate the venue capacity? sorry if this has been asked/answered before.

Leamington sounds nice. Aren't THE SHAPES from there? Great band. Going to check with my boss tomorrow to take 2 days off. If i can - see you there...

A capacity of 1000 standing 400 seated.

Further info here:

I think it'll be just standing as seating tickets aren't currently available.
