How about a taxi then!?
sorry! i'll be there!
|
James
|
yeh sounds good! could all put a few ££ in, an would probably work out cheap enough
|
Conor Major Major
|
Yeah that sounds good. The best part is the fact it is FREE entry to the gig!
|
Dave
|
Yeah I'll go, sounds good although I think 'army of fans' kind of gives the wrong impression, we're more of a 'herd'

That pub is apparently "0 miles (0km)" away from Little Sutton Railway station so it might be easier to just get the wirral line train from central to there? (it takes half an hour and they are every 15 minutes until about 8pm at which point they become every 30 mins with the last one leaving at 11:45)
|
Louis
|
yeah train would probably be a better idea!!
|
Conor Major Major
|
Neil is going to be gutted

EmmersoN

haha he told me to post it! (after I mentioned it to him)

Whether minibus or coach I'm all for it, count me in.
But what time do the trains stop? Because if the gig goes on late (as they often do) we don't want to be stranded in Ellesmere Port and forced to work down the soap mines to buy our way back to Liverpool
|
jamie
|
ah, you've been before too i see.

Its a good thing you asked this question cuz it made me double-check it! The last train to liverpool central from the station by the gig leaves at 23:08! Which may indeed be a problem depending on when major major play!?
|
Conor Major Major

I think a mini bus would be the better option because that way you won't need to worry about Train times. Although i don't think that it will go on any later than 10pm ish
|
EmmersoN
|
It depends really... a minibus is better if you can get one reasonabley cheaply and get a driver and have almost exactly the right number of people going... but the train option is much easiler! lol
|
Major Neil

hello all!!
The reason I thought of the minibus idea was simply beacause I didnt give yas any credit and thought yas would be too lazy to go booking any trains. The plus side to the train is it is gonna be cheaper for yas (and us hehe). But let the discussion go on, and we will sort something out!
|
Louis
|
a train would be easier, and more fun if we miss the last train
|
Dave
|
Haha I've only just understood Neil's signature thing

Haha its not like the kind of train u have to book in advance! You just walk into central and say "return to little sutton" or press a few buttons on the machine and then u get a ticket and get on the train!

i havent, tell me
|
Dave

No, you'll have to work it out yourself
Clue: You'll need an Enigma machine to solve it
|
James
|
is it based on hairstyles?

I thought it might be that!

Louis
|
any way , back to the point, i reckon we go by train, cheap, easy, and as conor said itll finish around 10.
everyones a winner
|
EmmersoN
|
Agreed and we can still get the train even if the gig over-runs by an hour!
|
Louis
|
someone should make an executive decision
|
Dave
|
Is any kind of plan going to be set about this thing?
I vote for the train although I predict a hilarious caper unfolding in the near future
|
Louis
|
yeah, i can see something wacky happening
|
EmmersoN
|
Yer i think it will be the train. If people want we could all meet in central station at a certain time and get the train together? Oh fun!
|
Louis
|
yes, good plan that man
|
Major Neil
|
Ok who is gonna rub and get the train to Ellesmere Port??
We need as much support as we can! would be boss to see ya all there!!
Have you got the train details emmerson?
|
EmmersoN
|
What time do you want us there?
|
James
|
am gonna come!!
|
Louis
|
Southport first though!!!
|
Gibbo
|
Southport is boss. We have to go on the Wildcat!
|
Tracey
|
yep we really do.....its great!! and the traumatiser, the spaceshot, the log flume, chaos, cyclone, king solomons mine.....i love southport
|
Louis
|
10am at the station though, not 9am
|
James
|
Haha - plans already goin to pot!
I've got plenty a 2p to bring along

But if we do the Mines, bagsy sitting in the front bit because if you're behind you get your elbows smashed in by inferior rollercoaster workmanship. The Spaceshot is crap, all it does is make your sphincter the size of a grain of sand and make you feel vaguely ripped off.
You forgot the House Of Fun/Pain! Where it's so dark that you often just walk straight into walls or fall down badly-lit staircases. It's fun for the whole family and their accident claims lawyer!

|
What time is this gig?
|
EmmersoN
|
Right the gig is at 8 ish so if people people want to meet in central station at 7.15 then that would probably be easiest! We can all get the wirral line train from central to Little Sutton (which I am lead to believe is right by the gig.)
Err... for the people who don't know me I look like this man and will hopefully be wearing clothes.
But more seriously pm me for my mobile number if you want it.
Hopefully I'll see you all at central!

For anyone making their own way or who doesnt trust my hunter-like sense of direction the gig is here
|
James
|
hope it goes/went well. sorry didnt come - just really shattered and probably would've fell asleep an ended up in southampton
|
Dave
|
Ditto, will be coming to the one on the 27th though, sorry again
(right James let's organise another 'coincedental' trip)
|
Conor Major Major
|

|
EmmersoN
|
Yer it was a really goood gig!
