It's a thought that's crossed my mind numerous times. Haven't got a clue what I'd say. Got a nasty feeling I'd either be dumb-struck or sound like a complete babbling winner.
They say that you should never meet your heroes. I used to think that was because you might be disappointed, I now think it may be because you will totally humiliate and embarrass yourself.
Nicely put Chris. I think we're both on the same wavelength on this!!
The meet+greet will be in the Forum's bar so I'm thinking I'm gonna have a few pints to get the old confidence up and see what happens.....

Kinda hoping to persuade my wife to allow me to attend but it ain't looking good. Seems that she wants to treat the whole day like an SAS raid. In and out in as little time as possible.
....somewhere EF is breathing a heavy sigh of relief.

Has there been any info released as to how TDOC members go about getting into the venue early and attend the meet and greet? Thanks in advance!
(needless to say I am a member, and if it's a problem please let me know and I'll find out another way
)

Previously, there's been some comments on the interactive section of the site, but they tend to disappear as new comments are posted. Are you talking about that or a different section of the website?

Just wondering, as the 'Doors' time at the forum is 7pm, is this still the case for the proposed 'quick entry' for TDOC members? Just so I know wot time to arrive to get some pre-show atmos outside the venue (weather permitting!).

The forum is only 10 minutes away so leaving just after 6 should be more than ample

Would love to meet the guys and gals after the gig but with the concert probably not ending until 11pm I will have to shoot to get my trains home because as you know in the wonderful country of ours everything transport wise ceases to exist much after midnight!! Next time they come over I will book myself into a hotel for the night that way it won't matter what time I depart the venue. If it finishes at half ten I might be able to for half an hour provided they go straight there and we don't have to wait a long time for them to turn up. Either way I will sure enjoy the gig and will hopefully get in the Guest List Queue for fast-track entry!!

12.20am is the last tube to Kings Cross.
I'll put the latest TFL and Network Rail news on line closures on my blog tonight...however I can't update it on anything last minute as I won't have access to my computer beyond mid-day tomorrow
