The Club would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused but all tickets bought for the original venue are valid and instead of the ‘Aussie’ buffet there will be a pie and pea supper included in the £4 admission price. The food will be served between 6.30pm and 7.30pm prior to the start of the main event. The switch to the JJB Stadium will enable more fans to attend and have their chance to hear the thoughts of Ian Lenagan, Brian Noble and Mick Hogan ahead of the new season. Tickets are now available again from the Stadium Ticket Office or by calling 0871 66 33 552. Speaking about the change of venue, Chief Executive Mick Hogan said, “We would like to apologise for the late change of venue for the Forum but the change allows more opportunity for our fans to attend. We have been inundated with requests for tickets and the South Stand Lounge enables us to increase the capacity. The last two forums have been a huge success and I am sure this will be another great night. We would like to thank Walkabout for their help and we will be looking to team up again with them for events later in the year.” Fans are reminded this is a family event and accompanied children are welcome.

Stupid decision. People should have got there ar$es into gear and got tickets. The SS bar is pitiful for bar service for large groups, whereas Walkabout is a lot better.

But then if they'd have got their arses into gear and got their tickets, the people who have tickets now wouldn't have them and would still want them and so there would still be extra people wanting to go and they'd have to move anyway... Plus there is no disabled access to get upstairs in Walkabout and the downstairs is pretty small.

Gutted about missing the Aussie buffet though.
