We got up at 6am and all had showers then headed off to the venue at 7am just in case we got stuck in traffic- meant to be there for 8am! Got there at 7.20am and we weer the only ones there!! Not long after a few others turned up such as Vern and Julie, Sam, the Germans and Michelle! We talked to the guy at reception who told us where to stand and couldn't understand why we had got there so early- I was thinking the same to be honest. My cold was the worst it had been so far and I was shaking.
Gavin, Vern and I managed to go into the hall of the venue to have a look when the local crew were setting up at about 8.30am and saw that the catwalk loked quite long! Then Michelle decided to have a look wrapped in a white and she caused a sercurity alert!! LOL!! As the queue grew, we decided it was best to split in two so we went round the other side as both doors were the same!
I wrapped myself in a blanket Jamie brought from the hotel but I was still shaking and decided that I had to go and sleep in the car. I got myself comfy and decided I needed the loo so I went to reception and was told I could only use the mens so I agreed as I was desparate and it wasn't as bad as I thought! Slept for a couple of hours and it got really hot in the car so I finally stopped shaking! Cat and Trina joined me in the car and I think everyone was feeling ill and tired. At lunchtime I headed over to Burger king which I needed so much!! After that I decided to try the queue again. Sat wrapped in a sleeping bag on the steps all afternoon and covered myself in it completely when it rained!

Got a text from Andy saying we couldn't laugh at him when he arrived- he finally turned up with very blonde bleached hair!! We all laughed!!! We all packed up an hour before and got the queue sorted. I was shaking and the doors were delayed opening. I ate some energy sweets to try and sort myself out but it didn't help. If I heard that stupid message outside about smoking being banned and the doors opening being delayed again, I thought I was going to go mad! The doors finally opened and we all ran. We all got through the first set of doors and Jamie handed her ticket to a woman at the top of one set of stairs but then we went to another set of stairs and Jamie didn't get her ticket back so then they stopped her getting down the stairs. After shouting at them and a guard grabbing her, she got through and they messed up mine too. By the time we got through, the front row was full so I ran to the right hand side of the top of the catwalk and spread out. As our group were runing down, I had to shout at each one while Jamie was really upset about it all. It was such a nightmare! Luckily we all made it along there and it was no worse than being along the front of the catwalk! I was feeling very ill and asked if they would hand out water later but they said no. Gavin had a go at one of the security guards about what had happened with Jamie. Bastards. Viekko came over and asked us not to throw condoms as it would look bad for the DVD but we tried to talk him out of it!! I said that if he gave me Roger Taylor, I wouldn't throw them but he didn't go for that. I also suggested that he could push Roger off the stage in my direction but he didn't got for that either!! As he walked off, Gavin shouted 'You know we will throw them anyway' and he smiled so we went for it!! I collapsed over the barrier to wait for the show to start.
They announced that the show was being filmed for TV which confused us for a while but we just thought they must have got it wrong! The gig started and the lights were still on and the cameras were flying around everywhere! The crowd didn't get into it as much as the other gigs, I think because of the lights! Cat, Trina, Jen, Gavin, Andy and I were all having a great time though and I was so high on the energy sweets that I was going mental!!
We all threw the condoms at the end of Say It's Not True and Roger had a good laugh. Brian walked to the front of the catwalk walk and said 'You don't expect any comedy from me, do you?'. I replied 'Yes' very loudly and he looked over and smiled! During Love of my life, Brian told us that Freddie's mum was in the crowd which was really sweet! At the end he mentioned the condoms , picked one up and threw it and Jen managed to catch it!! Paul also picked up one a bit later one!!! Paul waved at me whilst standing on the stage in the dark during Brian's bit on Hammer to fall!
Roger was wearing the nice white shirt with the logo on the back- He looked wonderful when singing 'These are the days of our lives' even though he totally messed up the words!! I'm sure that will be edited out for the DVD!!
I'm sure we were filmed a few times but not with the camera right in front of us. During 'The show must go on' I was crying with pain. I was feeling so bad, took more energy sweets and begged for water but they wouldn't give me any! Bastards! Lets hope that's not on the DVD. During 'We are the champions', Cat, Trina, Jen and I linked arms and they filmed us up close so hopefully that will appear on the DVD. Paul smiled and blew us a kiss during this!!!! Right at the end when the band came down the catwalk to take a bow, we all did 'we're not worthy', Spike and Jamie laughed and Paul blew us a kiss!!!
We were all dying at the end so went back to Vicky and Dan's and collapsed in bed!! I have never needed sleep so badly in all my life!
