Won't bother, hate this place, like an aircraft hanger, plus nightmare to get home from

Well seen as we're doing all the other dates, we thought we might as well do this one too

It's a soulless venue, and needlessly out of the way. NIA would've been much better location wise. Still, easier to get home from than Swansea. Just.

I went to see Rush when it was the LG Arena (better name!) and think it's a good venue. No problems getting to and from it for me!

Smaller ? I remember it being in a seat only in block B and feeling miles away from the stage

For us fairly local its a pain to get to and from if you don't drive, its a decent walk back to the train then you have to wait for the train to New Street, byt that time the buses trains back home have finished.

That's one of the reasons I don't like it

I'll be there. Shame it's the Genting/LG/NEC Arena, but at the same time, the sound in the Barclaycard arena for Prodigy last week was truly awful. The sound in the Genting has been vastly improved over the last 12 months.

Also the location of my first Manics show back on the TIMTTMY tour.

I'm going. My first MSP gig since the last Hammersmith Apollo date in 2005. My partner bought me the ticket as an Xmas present.
