Hey, if it is a Sunday as suggested, I won't be in Manchester either. :(

I'm reliant on Saturday gigs with my job, I do have an extra day off, I discover now, after booking only a day off spread over two days for the Liverpool gig (grrrrr). This is because have an extra bank holiday over xmas week, but Jake cannot take time off at that time of year, so we can't stay over like previously, therefore I will be relying on getting the train back and they are pretty crap on a Sunday (from what I remember from last time I went to a gig on a Sunday in Manchester).

What a shame if it is the Apollo as suggested, I love that venue. :(

I have been to 3 pogues gigs since they reformed- the best was Glasgow '06 (everyone was very friendly & the craic was great) & the worst was Manchester '07 (cos i got into a fight with some Manc chav bastards!!!)

P.S. I have many friends in Manchester but these guys were twats! if you're from Manchester please don't take offense at this! I've been to many gigs in Manchester since then and i've had no problems, however i won't be going back to the MEN Arena!

William Elliott Whitmore will be opening for us at all shows on the December tour. We are not expecting to add any further acts.
