Partly because Adam at HoN has put me down on a list for the Hard Rock Gig, if i can make it - and as long as they still do Sam Adams Beer there, so from my pov, there is no harm in me asking to go to the Blackwood gig.

You realise this is going to make you massively hated, just don't post these and pretend that you've won.

Frankly I don't care, as long as this doesn't take tickets away from competition entrants.

Uck let him post how he did it! Bit of transparency! Ha! people complain about others keeping it secret, so why not? Don't hate the playa, hate the game and all that! hahahaha. And of course some people have advantages/contacts over others, but so what, who cares? And let's not forget we're not all equal the Welsh have the advantage over the rest of us

which is how it should be in this case.

Also I clean love the way I've entered this competition despite not even knowing the closest airport to Blackwood (apart from Cardiff I think but she's too expensive), how to get to Blackwood and what the fuck is in Blackwood (rubble and shit right?) To be honest I'm not even sure what date in December it even is!

If you win you have to hunt down James' dad and shag him!

Why have his dad when you could have the real thing?

cardiff will be the closest airport, and i don't think Blackwood has a train station i think the nearest one is newbridge, and only 2 buses a day from cardiff to Blackwood. It is actually a logistic nightmare to get to really. I worked out i would need to get 5 trains in total to get there from me, so would probs just drive. Not that I have a cat in hells chance of winning anyway

....because..

today...in Norwich...I was musing through the piles of 12" singles in a 2nd hand record shop (which is usually pretty rubbish)...and I unearthed 8 original early Manics 12"ers, including a pic disc of Motorcycle Emptiness! But my faves are the two 10" copies of Faster and Revol! They were like new...
Why would someone give stuff like that away? Fools!
If I get to Blackwood...I will take them all with me and try and get them autographed...
It was like having 10 birthdays all rolled into one!

Anyway...interesting replies everyone...some funny!
Whoever gets to go (and someone surely will), please make sure you post a detailed, blow by blow account of the whole experience here.....so the rest of us can vicariously bask in the glory too!

Blackwood Miners Institute...

"...funny place for the social!"

Y'see...it's gonna happen! : )

Urgh that does sound a bit of a nightmare. How do those poor people in Blackwood cope haha.

And if you do win the tickets, remember to run home as fast as you can only to trip outside and hold your ankle going "Aaaargh! Fffff.... Aargh! Fffff....Aargh! Fffff... Aargh!"

Good luck everyone, I hope that if anyone from FD wins, they'll text the setlist in for the rest of us.
