us lot will hit the uni area about 7.15ish.
steve seems to know the area best, perhaps he could suggest a pub about that time.
it makes sense to have the last pre-gig drinky in jabez cleggs, cos it's just across from the venue, although they may have crappy music on.
over to you steve.
Unlikely you will be allowed in the Univeristy bars as there is no gig on there on Saturday(as far as I know).
Jabez Clegg is a good place to meet up but I would also recommend Kro Bar which is right opposite the University on the corner of the side street you emerge from when coming from Jabez (you have probably seen the tables outside).
Academy bars are ok but a bit cramped to say the least once the place fills up.
