can't find the old thread

reminds me of

 

 

The FOMO is real… I avoided the office today- couldn’t stand the thought of everyone milling through Victoria

missus messaged me asking if I’d have a ticket for £200; within 4 minutes it had gone… she might just be torturing me mind

Just been in Manchester to meet a mate who's going 

Just near the merch shop in spinning fields, place was brimming with fans, all of town was

Suns out, beers out, everyone's out

Wasn't arsed before that, proper jealous now 

When they played Maine Road in '96, we were sat outside at 9.30 am, queuing up to try and get in the front pen. We managed it, so it was worth the wait (back then)

When they announced the prices for the reunion, I decided it wasn't worth any more than £75, so I didn't even bother trying for tickets.

Seeing some of the videos from Cardiff last week, I must admit I'm a little jealous in some respects, but keep reminding myself that it will be full of dickheads chucking pints of lager (and piss) about

Yeah but then they'll start playing their music.

I’m being realistic- I’d hate getting there and back, I’d resent paying £600 for a night out in Whitefield, I’d get pissed off with most people around me, I’d hate the beer, it will kick off, and the sound there will be hit and miss… but still

Looking at resale for NJ in August- 2 birds 1 cup or whatever it is

And you'll have to spend the evening with oasis fans.

90 minute wait for trams at Victoria.

Why don’t folk go back a couple of stops to St Peter’s Sq to get on?

Aye. Generally, never go back

By the looks of them they were a twinkle in their Pod shoe wearing, gelled fringed father's eyes in the 90s

Kickers all the way

Wet look gel from chemist and a cheeky whistle lolly.

The gigs have Land Rover as an 'official automotive sponsor' fucking corporate dicks

They can't 

They messed around with it all so that you can only go from Victoria 

Probably easier to manage the numbers

Already queuing an hour ago at Heaton park

In this heat 

Gates don't open till 3

 

Drove past at about half 6 yesterday morning,  some were in the queue opposite The Ostrich, and a few in line on Sheepfoot Lane. Bloody long day in those temps

Rather a good day and evening, 

Never seen them before. Really enjoyed it, crowd weren’t as rough as I expected and everyone seemed in a good mood generally. A good atmosphere around Prestwich before the gig. 

Luckily living local got home at a reasonable time but it seemed like it was a bit bonkers afterwards. Can imagine it took folk ages to get away. 

Probably a waste of time but don’t suppose anyone knows of any oasis tickets available for tonight’s gig? My two lads keep asking despite me telling them it’s very unlikely. I’ve been keeping an eye on twickets but nothing doing.

what a night

City and United kicking off there last night

Couldn't get a ticket for love nor money, bought on Viagogo a couple of weeks back, cancelled yesterday. Went up to Gallagher Hill and what a belting decision it was. No trouble, loads of families with kids, mint atmosphere and could hear the entire gig no problems at all. 

 

Gallagher Hill?

What in heavens name is that?

The universal credit Henman Hill. Secondary vantage point for those can’t get main ticket.
