I was just in front of James one the front row. Kept turning and looking for folk but didn't recognise many. Saw Laura, James, Karren and a few more though, apologies if I unintentionally blanked anyone.
 I'll upload my mum's pictures when she puts them on Facebook.

Amazing gig last night, great to see my old mates - Radiomanic, Maniccow, Paul (Archivesoftherevollover), Lindz - even met a couple of people for the first time i.e. Karen (shame we couldn't have had a longer chat) and Dexter (you disappeared!)
Anyhow, here are a few of my pics:    Got to meet James (just about) after the gig, I haven't seen him for 4 years but instantly recognised me and immediately said some great things about a CD I gave him the last time I saw him - what an absolute legend! Shame it was a brief meeting. Here's a really bad picture but didn't have time to get another due to the scrum that ensued.

Yesterday was my first time in Wolves. Had a great time queuing, which seemed to fly by. I had a go at pre-gig ping pong (at which I was rubbish). During a break from queuing, I nipped to the nearby shops, only to be followed by Nicky & Angus. Didn't ay anything to them, I just let them be (and it did feel a bit awkward).
The dreaded doors of doom turned out to be not so bad after all. The staff told us which door they would be opening and they stuck to their word. I was happy to see the mugs were back on the merch stand, so I grabbed one and made my way to the barrier, right in front of Nicky. Didn't think too much of TJF, did spot James enjoying them during their last song. Setlist wise, great choices. I liked how it was paced, with much needed slower tempo songs slotting in to calm the pace down a bit. Good to see the Wire in a skirt again (although I could have done without him putting his feet on the monitor - thank god I could ogle, sorry watch, James). I'm another who's not too keen on SSI. Landslide didn't sound too great either. I'd heard it on the GH tour and that was enough for me. Still, it was a nice addition to those who had never heard it at a gig. Managed to meet Nicky & James afterwards. Nicky has also read the Joe Calzaghe biography and knew about the mistake with James name. The scrum trying to meet the boys was terrible and I agree with Gutless, those who'd had their stuff signed, should have moved away, but it was impossible. I told James just how wonderful his voice sounded and he said that it was "one step away from being fucked up" I told him it wasn't. I heard him answering a fan's question about Rush album recommendations. A big hello to everyone I spoke to yesterday. It was lovely re-acquainting myself with familiar faces and also lovely to meet some new faces! Gutless, I was hoping to meet you, sorry I didn't get to see you, maybe next time. Also sorry you didn't get a proper meet with James - don't let this bad experience put you off. And finally, thank you to Lindz for offering me a lift to and from the gig.

Forgot to say. I was interviewed for a website called Winkball as I was coming out of the gig. I'll look out for this and post it, if it surfaces.

That was a FANTASTIC day starting off with the table tennis (sorry if i hit the ball at anybody) then the gig itself, got to the barrier in front of Nicky which was cool apart from someone digging their elbow into my back as a support for their camera. Managed to meet Nicky after the gig which is what ive always wanted to do also managed to get him and James sign a couple of shirts all in all a Great day in Wolverhampton.
Id give this gig 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000/10

I was taped twice for Winkball but haven't checked to see if I'm there! I was a bit lost for words before the gig but had a bit more to say after it!
Edit: Just checked and I'm up there at the very top!....they spelled my name wrong though!
