No Manchester

Newcastle or Sunderland.
Hartlepool is a close enough I suppose, but with no car at University it's going to be difficult to get there and back.
Booooooooooo :(
or
that country, what's it called?
Wales?
but
hull! \o/

yay hull!
Or Nottingham
not that I really care.

Weird tour.
No Southampton, no Portsmouth and worst of all no BOURNEMOUTH!!!
Eddie, don't forget your roots.
Will probably go to Gloucester
to see this, despite Gloucester being a horrible, horrible city.
completely fail
to see why a talent like luke haines would get involved with these inexplicably-popular-in-other-countries little englander chancers.
