Last time we came back from Manchester after a Pogues gig in 2001, the last train was ridiculously early so we got the coach and we only just made that. Hopefully the service has improved a bit by now (but I'm not banking on it).

Since I posted this I have done some research. The last train from Manchester goes from Oxford Rd and leaves at 11.56pm and then stops at ever lamp post. There is a coach at 11.00pm and then the next one is at 00.30am on Monday morning which takes about one and a half hours to get to Liverpool also stopping at every lamp post.

I'm sure that back in the day when I used to see The Pogues at the Manchester Apollo there was a train from Manchester Piccadilly to Liverpool between 11.10pm and 11.20pm because I remember getting it several times. The transport system in this country is getting worse. Liverpool is less than an hours travelling time away from Manchester and this is supposed to be the 21st century you'd think the transport system would be better than it was 25 years ago not worse.

Anyway there must be a way round this. If there is anyone planning to drive from Liverpool to Manchester and back maybe we could share the driving (please).

Do you need to be Facebook friends to buy pre-sale tickets? Or can anyone buy them with the link? I signed up with Facebook just in case, but I can't seem to make the Pogues my friend.

Follow the link on the front page. That is all you need to do.

...but it's always nice to be Facebook friends as well. If you're trying from a mobile I have seen where (for some unknown reason) the Like button will be missing. If your on a computer you may need to delete cookies and log in again.

SCUNTHORPE - I'm in court Thurs for speeding - anyone gonna save me? Hopefully I fought the law but the law wont win??

Other half just about agreed to come with me to Manchester. If I get ckets to Glasgow & Brixton - any volunteers to look after me? I'll be the one in a bright green Pogues hoodie, shouting my head off after copious pints of cider...........

No, are you really going to be in Scunthorpe court? Can I sit in? Actually, I hate court, but good luck, I hope you do beat the law!

Is this true or are you just trying to will it to happen? I tried willing the Scunthorpe pub shows into existence, but it didn't work, just so you know.
