Thanks, manic_miner - it always seems to be hard to pin down the date for Border Reiver!

Can't miss it, it's the only show I get to regularly!

 Just remember it is in a new venue this year.The Gateshead stadium.

Thanks for the tip, otherwise I would have just rocked up at the Metro Arena as usual!

[Dave Knight]

Did not know that - they need to get more publicity out otherwise lots of people will go to the wrong place

I didn't know that either.
Is it easy to find?

[manic _miner]

 You will pass by it when coming from the A19.It will be on your right.Easy enough to find.Noticed the main site does not have the date of the show.

There's a Gateshead Stadium Metro station too, but it isn't hard by.

Amazingly, neither the Border Reiver site not Gateshead Stadium's own site (http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/Leisure%20and%20Culture/sports1/facilities/GIS/home.aspx )have any directions, just links to third party maps or journey planners.


Do you think attendance will even reach double figures?

I live in Gateshead and the stadium is very easy to find whatever direction you come from. There is also plenty of free parking. The Metro station is about 500 yards walk, cross at the traffic lights its a very busy road. I see the main problem is the publicity side.  THE CID.

Been today, seemed to be plenty of people there. Great show as usual. Bought some Claymore Bill men and Scotish pike, AW miniatures Indian mutiny highlanders, Perry samurai, + more. NOW SKINT.   THE CID.
