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.

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.

Another newbie to Heartland here, although have been lurking for a while. Just bought my tickets for the Thursday night. Any recomendations regarding accomodation would be most welcome!

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...

I just realise it is probably another building/venue I found via google with the keywords "the stage leeds".

Thanks for the link diego!!

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.
