Photos: Various, Gavin and Cat

Arrived at 9am ish to find a few of our lot there already and a couple of randoms. I began to feel more and more ill as the day went on. The sun kept coming and going as did the wind - this only added to my general feeling of unwellness! I starting shaking around 11am and it didn’t stop for a good few hours. I had to borrow Jamie’s socks and blanket and just tried to keep warm. I look as white as a sheet:

We played the line game and sharades again to pass the time and I tried to sleep. The big red trucks the band use kept driving past so we keep waving at them! Gavin’s jumper got a hole in it so he went to Primark and got a new one for £5 (and it lasted the rest of the tour!!).

We got moved down to the bottom of the steps to queue on the pavement which was a nightmare and I felt so bad- I just collapsed on the floor again on a blanket. An old man walked past on the other side of the road who ‘looked’ like Roger so Gavin shouted out Roger then the whole queue starting cheering and waving at him!

Before the doors opened, they split the queue into boys and girls. Luckily our group managed to keep the front of the queue. We spotted Jim Beach in the door way and Gavin shouted ‘Love the jumper Jim’ and he laughed and waved!! As we went in, we got searched (the reason for the sorting of the queue!). Fairy nearly fell but was caught by Jen and we all made it in ok and took up the front of the catwalk. had to sit on the floor once inside for the hours waiting for the gig to start because I felt so ill. I was getting worse and worse all the time and decided to ask for water. The mean sercurity guard said no. It all turned into an argument between Gavin and her, then Pam joined in and told her to stop acting like a Nazi. She went to get her supervisor and eventually I got some water! The security guard then asked to be move as we were being hostile!! She was replaced with a guy who sang all the through and it turned out he had been at the knebworth gig!!!

Just before the gig started, I had some energy sweets (my life saver on tour!) and spent the whole gig going mental- I was surviving on adrenalin and energy sweets! Brilliant gig. Someone held up a banner saying ‘Roger, bang me like you bang your drums’ and he spotted it as he walked down the catwalk. He spotted it, pointed and said ‘That’s disgusting’ and laughed! Bless him!!! Wish I had thought of that! Pam shouted ‘Roger you sexy bitch’ so loudly that we all heard, not sure about Roger though!

We managed to get a group photo of us with the cool security guard and Pierre’s drumstick he had managed to catch from Roger during the gig.

We then all rushed round the back and Gavin, Matt and Becky went off to get some chips for us all! On their return, Becky managed to get one security guard to go and get her a set list in return for some chips! I walked a few metres away to throw my chips away and told everyone they had to call me back if Roger came out. As I put the rubbish down, they all started shouting and I was like ‘Yeah right, I don’t believe it’ but it actually was!!! His car was nearly out on the main road so I legged it and leapt out next to the car shouting ‘Roger I love you’ whilst waving and blowing kisses. I actually saw him turn round and wave to me through a small gap in the side of the tinted window!! AHHHHHH! Paul drove out and stopped the car when he saw us and called us over. I told him I loved his trousers with the stripe on!!! AHHH )(*£$%&*(&)^(^&$&^*&(^(

More photos of us and the drum stick were taken then we left!

The drive home was so painful and bad. Gavin did a bit then we swapped and as I was driving in to Bristol, I got flashed by a camera but it turned out to be a trail one so I didn’t get a ticket!!! Now to rest until Sheffield!
