I was there. Drew 0-0 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Best place to park near the stadium? Can't be dealing with getting trams or trains so don't mind sitting in traffic. I imagine I'll be arriving in Manchester around 3ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearest ones Ito the ground are on Grey Mare Lane, form the Belle Vue / Hyde rd ......................... There is a school car park open, and there is another one next to the Townley Pub, ( 1/4 of a mile from ground) if you coming from the junction South Side. The Police have started to make people park a fair way from the ground this year. I heard a good motorway junction away fans are using is Ashton / Droylesden M60. if anyone's coming from that direction............................leave plenty of time, the traffic is terrible late on. St Brigid's RC Primary! Beswick! That was my first teaching job, there. Frank Smith the head, still? No, I'm sure he's not. MCFC used to come in and do training with our Junior 3s and 4s even before the Commonwealth Games stadium was built (I'm talking 90s). Paul Power, I think it was. Nice bloke. Manchester United were nowhere to be seen with involvement in the local community. About the nearest they got to Mancunian schools was Singapore. Very poor. I lived on Heald Place at the time, just a stone's throw - literally - from Maine Rd. Poor old gAss when they visited had a right shock seeing a bedsheet in a tree with NO GYPSY GAS, THANKS written on it (98/99). Is the Townley the pub on the right-hand side of Grey Mare Lane, as you head towards the Ashton New Rd? I wouldn't advise a pint in there, kids (no offence, locals), unless it's had a spruce up in the last 10 years or more. But if you did want a local pint, head in to the Park Inn on Ardwick Green, near the Apollo, and ask for Mooresey. He's a red, but a top bloke and his family is split red and blue. Hope the Park Inn's still open. Never mind all your fancy nonsense in the Northern Quarter, head down there or The Fringe on the corner of Oldham Rd - they serve Cheddar Valley (or, did. They may have stopped since I left. That's a non-sequitur). Which part of M you from, Alan(theManc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's home fans only and you have to show your ticket to enter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanthemanc Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 ok .... just thought I'd mention a few pubs in the City Centre you will probably be allowed into. Sinclairs ...... seems to be the main meet up pub for away fans ..... can gather outside for a bit of a sing song, especially European clubs; Wetherspoons Piccadilly...... seems to let away fans in....... typical Wetherspoons pub The Waldorf ....... a side st off Piccadilly aproach......... left side as you walk out ( 50 yards back from gardens )...... again seems to be popular with away fans so I'm told. ask if you cant find as for the rest, would probably stick towards the Northern Quarter.

Ivanhoe Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Been twice with Wolves. First time we parked in Sale, had a few beers and got the tram straight to the ground. A 10-15 mins wait queueing afterwards for a tram. Second time by coach, traffic was horrendous before and after (missed the kick off despite being 2 miles away 45 mins before the start). Recommendation - Park as far away as possible and use the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
