I usually organise meet ups to any venue I go to and this is one of them. It's only because I advertise it on Facebook. If someone local suggests anywhere, that's better. We usually go somewhere near the venue, that serves food for those travelling, veggie options for the veggies and I'm wheat and dairy free, so somewhere I can get something too

Fans meet up from 4 pm Yates '. See you there.

Can we have a sticky for this please?

Thanks

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

I think tradition has it that the Arrgeenie has to give THREE wishes ....

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

I will think about what I'd like my other 2 wishes should be then

.

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Well if you get stuck, I could pass on some suggestions and we can split the proceeds!

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

I'm sure it won't be too hard, but I will let you know, if necessary

To be honest.Yates is pretty ****,depending on what you like.There is a new pub just around the corner opposite pop world[im not sure what its called or even if it does food but it does some great ales lol.
50 yards from the Wulfrun

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Any chance you can find out what it's called?

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Would the George Wallis be any better?

Must be good if you can't remember name! Dog and Doublet maybe?

suss · In the Long Grass

No food if so.....but great for drinks apparently

Jules, for what it's worth, I don't mind anywhere; Yates is fine for me

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Dog and Doublet, apparently, does food. I will call them today and confirm later on.

Melv · Diamond Smiles

Dog and Doublet does look good.

The blurb on their website says they do hot pots and cobs (filled rolls) you can also bring your own food apparently! http://www.thedoganddoubletinn.co.uk

Obviously we'll go with whatever Jules decides. We probably won't arrive until 7 ish, but will be great to see everyone!

I can't eat bread (allergic to wheat and dairy) but if I can bring my own food, that could work. Will ring them to check..

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Ok well they're not answering the phone. Let's just go for it and I'll take my own food lol.

From 4 pm

suss · In the Long Grass

Food must be a recent addition as Trip Advisor from 10 days ago suggested none, but pub sounds good either way and location is ideal.

Should be a "Butlinesque" Rats mob potentially smile

From...me, Jules, Nick, Lisa (?), wolfinwales, Mark L, Leigh, M&M, Wes...any I've overlooked?

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

I'm sure there is more... But brain is not functioning on any cylinders right now lol.

The pub Wes is on about is The Lych Gate Tavern,its only a minute or so from the venue but if you carry on the main street for another minute or so you'll come to a cracking little pub called The Posada.This place tends to get the older clientele so it should suit us old fogies lol..

Wes[Wolverhampton] · House on Fire

It isnt the Lych gate--I know that well and have spent many a happy hour in there lol--although that would have been another option---It is the dog and doublet that is even newer than the Lych gate and really close to the wulfrun--I'm sure they did food but i didnt eat so not 100%

Wes[Wolverhampton] · House on Fire

I also love the posada lol--but no food to my knowledge---Im beginning to sound like a pisshead here

Beginning to?? Nah, it's ok Wes, we already knew you were! wink Well maybe we'll just have to do a pub crawl, see which one suits?

But actually, we will probably find somewhere to eat first, maybe a curry - I think I deserve to be wined and dined a bit more than a cheese sarnie and a packet of crisps smile

Anyway let us know when you've decided on a pub ... Look forward to seeing you all there xx

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Though on second thoughts, do I want to be surrounded by old fogies and pissheads? Hmm ..

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

It's Dob and Doublet - put it out on Facebook. Can't keep changing it. I'll get lynched lol. See you there tomorrow.

That sounds like the typical Rats audience. Well me at least.

Well I had heard rumours to that effect biggrin

I'll admit to being the latter, but refute the first one though my kids might disagree ...

I'm the former, probably used to be the latter

No half measures. I like being around the more mature concert goer. Far less likely to have them sticking an iPad in front of you or pi$$ing down the back of your leg. And that's just the girls!

PS I can't believe pissheads got past the profanity filter. I'd fcuking get rid of it if I had the choice

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Not sure I could pi$$ down someone else's leg - maybe my own but hopefully not - and I haven't got an iPad. So I'm quite respectable really. But not sure I'm ready to be called mature yet ...

Actually I'm surprised about it getting through profanity filter too - I just copied Wes though - I'm easily led!

Recent Libertines gig was one of the worst for pi$$ and vomit. Worse still it was indoors!

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

My hubby is a bit perplexed about the friends I have:

"There are some people meeting up at a pub called the Dog and Doublet from about 4 pm onwards - "

"Called what ? Who on earth has friends with names like that ?!"

Sigh!

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Yuck, you're really putting me off of going to gigs (not to mention drinking my mushroom cuppa soup!)

Lisa wrote:

Not sure I'm ready, but I just accept it. My latest gig going rule is to only see bands where at least one member is older than me. Tomorrow night, it's Happy Mondays. Others lined up are Difford & Tilbrook, The Boomtown Rats (of course) and Damon Albarn who is just a little younger. Fcuk knows why I'm off to see Royal Blood, that will be piss, puke and iPads galore.
