RotherhamI've been really encouraged by the massive response to this on SSM, and the gig has been advertised on the Dream Giver and Sample Minds sites too.. It's been a year since we had the band playing south of the border, and this looks like one hell of a return!! Amazing.. and great to see that so many people will be travelling far and wide to get to this. Bless her heart, we have Victoria coming over from New Zealand especially for this!! I've got my place and ticket booked so I'm a happy bunny..

Details as posted on Sosimpleminded.com by Dan Millard
Hi All
Tickets for the ‘Celebrate’ gig will go on sale at 9:30am (GMT) on Monday morning, June 25th 2007.
Tickets can be obtained from the ticket office at Rotherham United where Credit / Debit card facilities are available. The number is + 44 (0) 870 443 1884.
Tickets for the gig are priced a £20.
Anyone wishing to attend the Pre-Gig Meet up / mini-convention will need to buy a Hospitality / Meet & Greet Pass. This event will start at 2:30pm.
This will be a Private Event and will be held in the Hospitality Suite in the Main Stand. Mick & Derek will be taking part and will do a ‘Meet & Greet’, a signing session, they will be bringing some of their personal SM memorabilia (Mick apparently will be bringing some of his video footage of life on the road), and I believe a few special guests may well be on the cards!!!!!!!!!!!.
There will be a range of other activities taking place and a number of surprises! And of course, the usual fan meet up will require a bar, which of course I will make sure is fully loaded! (and yes Darren, we sell Fosters).
I will be putting on food (as it’s a long day) which will be included in the price of the ticket. Please ask for a Hospitality / Meet and Greet ticket whilst purchasing your concert ticket should you wish to attend.
Access can only be gained to the Hospitality Suite with a ticket. These are priced at £10 (which essentially is covering food costs).
I have negotiated a ‘Special Rate’ at the local Holiday Inn, which is a five minute drive away (there is a taxi company / rank directly opposite Rotherham United). The rate is £65 per room (whether single or double occupancy) and includes breakfast. The usual rate is £89.
If you want to reserve a room, call +44 (0) 1709 830630. You will need to quote ‘Rotherham United’ to take advantage of the deal. Here’s some info:- http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/...transportation
I have had a phenomenal response to this event. Can’t wait.
If anyone wants any more info, let me know.
Cheers
Dan

Hi folks..
JG is back in Merseyside after a week at Beecraigs Country Park, just outside Linlithgow. The weather nearly got the better of me at the start of the week, but thankfully it improved enough for us to get to the beach at North Berwick by midweek.
I'll be at Rotherham don't you worry. Keith will be there too for the meet and greet, though he may not be able to stay for the whole of the gig as he has work the following day and will not be staying overnight.
Looking forward to the weekend and catching up with everyone. I was talking to Dan M midweek and ticket sales are going well.

The countdown to Rotherham is well and truly on the way. Victoria leaves NZ today - hopefully she'll have time to get over the jetlag before the weekend kicks in. Shannon is on her way over from Texas in the next few days and should be in Rotherham from the Saturday, along with quite a few others from the Sosimpleminded forum who are making a two day break of it. I'll be arriving in Rotherham at about noon.. Hopefully I'll not have too much of a headache after (hopefully) watching the rugby league final on the box.. Come On You Saints!!

Just want to say ...hope you all will have a brilliant time at Rotherham, hope the weather will be good too you all.
I was at Newmarket last weekend and the weather was great. Graeme Duffin always says when WetWetWet do an outdoor gig it never rains and luckily he was right again .
We had such a great time at these Horse races, the fans cleaned up pretty well in our posh cloths, it was fun.
have a great time everyone,
love Willemina.

Jean Genie

Thankfully the weather seems to be set fair for the weekend, though I did advise Victoria to pack spring like clothing rather than summer beach wear, lol. The gig is at a function room at the football ground, so it won't be outdoor, unless Dan M has a surprise for us when we get to Rotherham

Hi folks
Didn't think Jim and I would be able to make it but now we can (dependant on getting tickets and accommodation sorted tomorrow - fingers crossed for us please) so hope to see you all there - can't wait!!
Otherwise we will be in the carpark listening and sleeping in the car - any spare beds going anywhere???

I thought Degsy meant coming to Red rose country!! Don't worry Shirl we will get them here maybe supporting the China's in the unfamous Cavern club in November (got me tickets - yes!) eh or even their own date ??? Come on lads you don't know what you are missing........
|
Jean Genie

I've not even looked at the China's schedule!! I need to check that one out, hope I can make it.. (No doubt it will be up for discussion over the weekend!!) I'm in Liverpool next week to see Spear, so hopefully will take a walk to the Cavern to pick up a ticket then, providing the date's free in my ever busy calendar..
Back on track.. The weekend is almost here. I'm meeting up with Shannon in Manchester for a few hours tomorrow. Had thought about an extra day in Rotherham, but really know that the pennies aren't there to make a two day stop over. Also, not sure if they'll have Setanta Sports and you know we have to get our fix of the Toffees, Andrea.. (There's nobody better than Mikel Arteta.. )
Looking forward to meeting up with everyone on Sunday.. It can't come soon enough

Hi Shirl
China Crisis are playing the "in-famous" (not "un-famous" - durrh - tell I have a hang-over practicing for Sunday last night!) on Friday 9th November. You (and anyone else that fancies another great gig) are welcome to join me and my mate (and Shirl?) at the venue that started it all!! As I say a great place for a 4GM gig too???
Yes Shirl defo need my Mikel fix - not going (Jim not too impressed!) but Setanta sport will do the business! Going to be a sad game to as I am sure there will be a minutes silence for poor little Rhys Jones absolutely heart breaking in it what is the world coming to?
On a brighter note roll on Sunday eh!
See you all then rocking and rollin.....
|
Jean Genie
|
Definitely going to be a minute's silence for Rhys I should imagine. I welcomed what Tim Cahill wrote on the Everton FC webpage. How many more little Evertonians are going to make the news for the wrong reasons this year??
Toying with the idea of going to Rotherham tomorrow to make a bit of a break of it. As I'm meeting Shannon at Manchester tomorrow, it would be a case of doubling back on myself to come back to Merseyside then go through Manchester to Rotherham the following day.
Count me in for the China's gig at the Cavern - Hopefully I'll get my ticket next Friday..
|
Jean Genie
|
I totally agree that the Cavern would be a good venue for 4GM though the capacity is relatively small compared to the Academy. The guys should come down to check places out I reckon,

I sympathise Will..... I worked in "hospitality" for 10 years - although by the end I wasn't very hospitable! It sucks having to work those hours when everyone else is off having fun! On the plus side though...one of the few jobs where it's (usually) acceptable to drink while working (apart from being a Rock Star of course!), you don't get sacked for coming in with a hangover, and you get to sleep in late!
