Pretty much the same info as they had at MK. The only additional flyer I saw was for the next Midlands show which will be on 28 and 29 March 2009 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, NEC.

I think the Hilton Birmingham Metropole dates were actually for the next Autographica event which the only guest i saw on the flyer was Ernest Borgnine.

That'll be a neat trick, considering that he's been dead for years.

Birminham is at least possible for me to get to, but a strange venue for a collectomania when you have the NEC over the road!

Could anyone tell me if Sportsmania 4 will be at the same location, or is it likely to be moved again (cough cough Manchester cough cough)?

Birmingham is a less strange venue than an -in-the-middle-of-nowhere football stadium in Coventry!

But as someone pointed out about the NEC, weird to have it so close to the location of other events, if you know what I mean...

if it is, then for me its a good thing, 2 cons for the price of one trip, or just one depending on the guests.
either way it will be interesting.

Least possible to get to??? Its on the directly off the motorway network and it has its own train station and international airport. Where do you live, outer mongolia??? The only way you cant get to the NEC site is by water.
I don't think showmasters can use NEC due to a exclusivity deal the NEC has with another organiser. So a hotel on NEC site is next best thing.

I expect one of them will move dates between now and March. Makes it a bit of a farce otherwise.
