Marilyn Mastin Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Alan and I can put up four people in our Sale home (not far from Manchester) It won't be luxurious, but it's free and we will look after you. There is a comfortable collapsable bed for one person, A settee for another, and two people can sleep on the floor, if you bring sleeping bags. The first four people to pm me and let me know, will get to come and stay with us. It's free, all we ask is a bit of help (about £2 each) towards a taxi back after the gig and whatever we're doing afterwards, which we will all share, back to Sale.

pinkfakecheez Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think I'm the youngest going. (14 now, 15 @ gig.) Dunno who I'm taking with me but oh well. Despite living near Manchester, I've never seen the Apollo and I've never been in it. By the way, I know this is probably a silly question but what are the chances of there being a M&G?

Despite living near Manchester, I've never seen the Apollo and I've never been in it. By the way, I know this is probably a silly question but what are the chances of there being a M&G? The chances of a quick hi and a signing are pretty good, it depends alot on how many people are there, if he's got any guests or comp winners and also what the weather is like! Unfortunatley the security guard who is normally in charge at the stage door is not nice! He was really nasty to some of us at the last Mika gig there and I saw him again on Monday when I saw Paolo Nutini so he still works there! I love the Apollo as a venue, it's a nice size. Hope to meet you on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn that's a really lovely offer, makes me wish I didn't live close enough to drive home afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikafish Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I really didnt like that security guard. He was so rude. Marc and I were backstage afterwards (because we'd been on stage during Lollipop), Mika asked us to wait until he'd spoken to the competition winners so he could come back and talk to us and the nasty security man chucked us out!! Never going to forgive him for that! He was being quite nasty at the Paolo gig too, it's one of the reasons I decided not to wait around afterwards.

It ruins things when there's some jobsworth like that ruining it for the people who are there! Let's hope when we go, it's his night off. Thanks for saying what you did about my offer. I'm only too pleased to do it for people who need to stay over in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Big names coming up north Whoo-oo! I think I'm the youngest going. (14 now, 15 @ gig.) Dunno who I'm taking with me but oh well. Despite living near Manchester, I've never seen the Apollo and I've never been in it. By the way, I know this is probably a silly question but what are the chances of there being a M&G? The Apollo is lovely. The floor slopes like Brixton so you can see even if you're not at the front. But where Brixton was fairly big, the Apollo is smaller. Mika's played it several times so I guess he likes it. The band members all had family there last time I went. And Mika did a m&g when I was there but we had waited ages and it was freezing cold - even some snow! So if you're depending on parents, I know a lot won't wait after the show. And they kept saying no pictures, no photos. I didn't understand if they meant we mustn't take and or we mustn't ask him to pose for any. Pity the security man was a pain and is still there.

You mean Nov 07? Yeah I was driving back to North Wales afterwards but still waited, I was like a Zombie! Lol. It was worth the wait tho. My only problem with the venue is that because of the slope I have to walk very slowly to the front or I'll fall over, and people always run and push past no matter what security say. Another bonus to the venue is that they hand out water quite frequently too and most of the security inside are nice. Plus it's got a Tesco Express, McDonalds and a lovely little pub all nearby. The pub is actually right next to the stage door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parked on the side street next to the venue, so long as you don't park on the stretch opposite the stage door it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
