One of the virgin team did tell me when he was pissed anyway but i thought it was best to wait til its been mentioned lol

No players in the South of England then.

GotaFancy? · 21-04-2008, 20:28

One of the AWOP videos did say Nottingham too

Will be curious to know what the capacity will be - I'm guessing it wont be quite as large as everyone may imagine - IIRC DTD was having a pretty small capacity to start with and "ramping up" the numbers as general demand dictated - so whether they have the infrastructure for a large event I dont know

Right time for a Virgin DTD award I think

I think this one was originally Brighton, but a few logistical issues obviously couldn't be overcome - I'd imagine that the next one has a good chance of being in the South

I would have thought London casino's could cope.

GazBlades · 21-04-2008, 21:34

Is the date 100% confirmed?

nah mate they give up too much space for playing the spoons and singing songs about irons and dustmen

Galronix · 21-04-2008, 21:40

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not moaning (though it sounds like it) It won't stop me from trying for a seat.

Don't know if Virgin will allow you to defer it to the next festival - worth a try?
