London Troxy or, and here's a thought, not ignore South Wales on the next proper tour.

Either a residency of a few nights a la SFA in the Millenium Music Hall (formerly sub29) or a big gig at Cardiff City's new stadium.

Only time sitting has truely worked - Hay on Wye, probably wouldn't have worked better standing, except for when we decided we were standing regardless of anything for IKTZ which needed to be stood for.

Also, I'm trying to remember the last gig the Manics played in a venue that had "Theatre" in it's name...

I reckon Toronto Phoenix Concert Theatre, there was quite a few on the NA tour, Minneapolis was particularly awesome, only time I've ever seen the manics in a venue featuring chaise lounges.

I'd say they should play Suffolk as they never have (except Wire but he thought he was in Norfolk anyway), but I'm not sure its worth the effort on their part, unless they did Lattitude thats alright by and large as a county its best avoided though.

Roadmender in Northampton again! But I guess it's too small...

Cambridge junction...we could even persuade them to open the pie hole...

I still want to see a full on acoustic backed with orchestra show at the Cardiff Millennium Centre. Erm would obviously love them to play either Caerphilly or Cardiff Castle, they'd fill them easily as an outdoor summer thing (hell if the Phonics can do it...). Would love to see them in Leeds Cockpit too.

Anywhere in New Zealand, i'm not too fussed.

[The Gutless Wonder]

A few venues near me that aren't too big. I'd like the whole band to attempt to cram into the Stoke Sugarmill!

[franny]

I'd like them to do a gig in every place which is mentioned in one of their songs.

Anywhere with seats!! the Wolves Civic is about the best venue in the Wes Midlands

If they do this they had better wait until I am out of school again so I can come over there and get hired for the orchestra...

700 of it is balcony seats though. So 2300 standing.
Seriously though I would love for them to play there.
