Oh well, I'll have ID just in case.

Quick query for Nottingham - what is the nearest tram stop to the forest ground? Is it the train station? We are staying in Beeston (our old uni stomping ground) so tramming it through for the gig. But uni was 20years ago so when we lived there, there was no tram system!

I’d say the train station is your best bet. Better area to be walking through. You can get the mainline bus outside the train station which will take you to more or less right next to the ground but not sure which stops they’ll be using as I’ve read there are some road closures.

Hahaha we lived in Beeston for about 5 years and in the Rylands for a couple of years in a little flat near the canal, bloody loved it!! Only moved back home as the husband got made redundant 😞 we're having a return to the Vic Hotel for a good meal before the show next week!

Yeah not walking through the meadows at night, I'll take my chances with the train station or try for an Uber 😬
 
Going on Sunday with my mum. Absolute terrified of the standing and pushing is it so bad ? How does it with trying to get close to the front do we just work our way or is it first come basis

First come first served basis. Nothing worse than someone trying to push their way to the front when you’ve been queuing all day to get a good spot!
 
I’m going on Sunday too.. the previous stadium shows I’ve been to were pretty standard - you queue for hours and you get a good spot. You come along later and you get what you’re given. I’ve never experienced pushing and shoving but maybe I’ve just been lucky. I would love to be at the front but I just don’t think my bladder and back can take the hours of queuing anymore 😂

Thank god that's not just me. My bladder and back cannot withstand hours, yet for some stupid reason I bought pitch tickets! Might have to buy some tena and hope for the best 🤣🤣 My sharpened elbows from the 90s roadshow days are out to waste now 🤣

I went for seats this time for that very reason! I’m way past the days of queuing for hours and not going to the loo for 12 + hrs 😂
 
In my defence I got swept along in my daughter’s excitement - ‘mum, we have to be at the front, honestly you’ll just have to hold it all in. I saw one video, someone was so close I could see the pores in Howard’s face’ 😂 …. So erm yeh… I thought I was 13 again 😅

Looks like the stadiums may have a small b stage set up judging by these Boro images

Interesting that the stage is at a goal end though when the plan for Nottingham shows different.

I hope they do! I realise that obviously they can’t have the full shebang like in the arenas but don’t see why they couldn’t have a b stage and runway like they have done before in stadiums! I didn’t quite understand why the stage at Notts isn’t at a goal end!
 
I think the B stage for Nottingham is directly in front of my block. But i'm still not 100% if that is my block or if i'm the 1 to the left of it lol
