I'm just thinking why would they bother? Have they done that before? I know they'll want to promote the album but seems a major faff..great for fans that want to see them obviously.

If the signings do get confirmed, I definitely cannot go. Thanks to my new job, I am not allowed to have time off on the last day of the month. Grrr!

Ha, they'll be late for Manc if they think that's doable.

I don't know how they're planning on doing those times without helicopter or something. Can you drive Brum to Manchester within 2 hours in commuting traffic? Because you can't by train, I don't think...

Not confirmed yet so will hold off on booking anything. Also I heard they had a provisional time for a London signing of 5pm so don't know when that got changed.

No way by car/lorry, train is just under 2 hours. Maybe they'll send gear to Manc and take train from Brum. Seeing as they don't need guitars at the signings?

London seems to be being missed out again? Maybe they decided London was getting enough?

That seems mental though, seeing as they need to actually get to and from the train stations and the HMVs...

Poor London.

You can train in the time, but I can see it running very late.

Yeah, train straight after and then even if they got to Manc Vic there'd be no time to set up, the times must be a little off or Sean can teleport.

Poor London indeed, so often overlooked.

Ha ha, no worries, I think it's irrelevant now anyway.

If you get the right train you can get Brum to Manc in an hour and a half so it's easily do-able but yeah there's no way it'll all happen on time cause they never do And well I imagine their stuff will already be in Manc already set up once the store closes.

You can get to Manchester from Brum by coach in 1hr45 at certain times. Surely they'll be driving though?

I can see Birmingham getting cancelled.
