I thought I would try Nottingham this year for a change as previous experiences at GMEX or whatever it's now called have not been so good. How far is the gog from the old trip to Jerusalem? Only pub I can remember in Nottingham........ :roll:

Not for me this year- Brum and Belfast are gonna wipe me out, though its tempting last year i drove up and dident have a drink- saw lots of things i'd never noticed before, still Belfast on the piss or nottingham sober- no contest

Don't go Soulfinger, those forkers at Green King have bought it, and ruined the Kimbo. Get yourself into the Newshouse on Canal Street for a drop of the local brew. It's only a 2 minute stagger to that dreadful Ice Arena thing from there.

great pub, and great ale they serve in it.
no Pogues for me this year. last year I flew Milan to Glasgow, but this year I don't have the money to repeat that, and I hope to graduate

Not being from this area, what pubs will fellow Medusans be heading for before/after the Gig and how far/near are they from the venue?

**Sat Dec 08, 2007 9:23 pm**

I'm a long time reader but infrequent poster on here. Last few years I have done Manchester where not only the gig but the pubs beforehand have been fantastic. The Pogues sing-along in Waxy's pre-gig has been excellent.

This year I'm doing Nottingham and was hoping someone on here would suggest a pub for a similar pre-gig experience. I had a walk near the venue a few weeks ago when OAFC were in town. The nearest pub I spotted was The Pit and Pendulum. From past experience this isn't really a sing-along-a-Pogues type venue.

Please, Notts folk, make suggestions. I'll be in Nottingham city centre from 5pm. Anywhere with a good pint and a suitable jukebox we can make our own?

**Sat Dec 08, 2007 10:33 pm**

I am also in the same boat I have not been to Nottingham for over 10 years. I will be driving over arriving around tea time so let me know where you are meeting up and hopefully I can join you for a couple of pints..

**Mon Dec 10, 2007 9:31 am**

Ditto.

I'm a Londoner and I have no idea about the area at all, or where the arena is, or where I can find a cheap place to drink all day. Me and my mate are taking the National Express up in the afternoon and coming back at 3 in the morning. Any advice or anyone wanting to meet up?

Plenty of good Irish pub's still around in nottingham, but sadly not in the city centre. As it's a Friday night, the City Centre will be heaving and you can't really go wrong for a lively drink due to the huge number of pubs we have here. Pub's I'd recommend that are nearest to the (soulless) venue:

The Castle - Lower Parliment Street (Good pre-gig atmosphere)
The Old Angel - Hockley (proper punk pub)
Bunker's Hill - Lower Parliment St (right next to venue - good atmosphere and beer to boot)
The Social - Talbot Street (Super cool pub/music venue)
Formans - Forman Street (another proper punk pub opposite the Cornerhouse complex. Bit further away, about a 20 min walk but worth it)

I'm sure you'll all enjoy your trip to Nottingham. It really is a great place, rather than the OK Coral, like the papers would have you believe.

Shame bloody Liverpool won't be coming next month, hey Phil? Sigh.....

Last time I saw Liverpool at the City Ground, they had Michael Owen with them. That's when I knew it would be a loooong time before they'd be back. No striker ever prowled the City Ground turf better than he did, except maybe Nigel Clough.
