so are we despite having just booked the plug in sheffield having not seen any more dates go up on the site. three nights in a row will be a nice prelude to my birthday that weekend so thanks NMA for being so considerate and timely with your tour planning!! not been but from what I hear the Wedge should be a nice little venue for an NMA gig - sweatbox indeed  ; ~ D

sweatbox is about right. Loads of nice pubs within staggering distance, even one 'next door'. The Leopold is tops for real ale though. Fairly low ceiling at the Wedge, so that could be interesting.

I'm working a deal for cheap drinks at LJR's for ticket holders!

that is the type of initiative lacking in many parts these days. Good effort.

well said Neily and well done ChristianS, sounds like an essential accompaniment to the boys playing Pompey again at last

Pazza and Neily, will you be showing off your new watches? Can I suggest finding somewhere safe to put them during the set this time  :)

yeah and various chains and jewellery too after that. It was the cheapest watch I couldda lost  to be honest but Neily wasnt so lucky. It serves me just about right for taking the p1ss outta him for six days after Amsterdam but there you go. Devine retribution. Or vengeance even...  ; ~ D Actually I never saw him after the acoustic set he disappeared somewhere in the pit. Talk about lightning striking twice.

Thanks for the touching concern Nicky. Santa did not show up with a new watch so I'm still one short. Pazza's was from a xmas cracker but sentimental, mine was priceless, ish... roll on Pompey, N'ton & Sheffield. Watchless.

who needs a watch anyway to enjoy the timeless spectacle that is new model army? overrated things in my view, particularly anywhere near a mosh pit. I have now rediscovered another watch I bought quite recently and had forgotten about so it must have been pre ordained in some odd kinda way - what I won't be doing is wearing the said rediscovered newish watch anywhere near either the Wedge, the Roadmender or the Plug...

Sorry to hear Santa didn't come up trumps for you on the timepiece front fella

Tickets are now in at the box-office! - First book of 100 is already sold and well into the second book...  Capacity is only about 400...

yeah don't hang around and you're right fluffy with the exception of the Leccie Palace (which is clearly nearer us) good to have the band back down on the coast. A Bournemouth date would really cap it off - cud we fill the O2 he ponders
