Any you’d recommend? There' are loads down there, just a few PUBS iv'e heard football fans go in before and after the game are......Port St Beer House....Tib St Tavern or the Bay Horse.. There are quite a few others all within walking distance of them all, just google Northern Quarter and they will all come up......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanthemanc Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 BY THE WAY...... THE POLICE CLOSE SECTIONS OF ASHTON NEW ROAD ,...... after the game for a good while so away coaches can get out......... usualy a good exit for coach travellers, although by the sound of it there are a lot of coaches to get out.

Murraysrightplum Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 3 hours ago, Littlesh*t said: from what I looked up on the internet it looks like my best option is a walk to heald green and then train to Piccadilly, they seem to run every 20 minutes would you say your option was better? The tram goes right to the stadium. Piccadilly Station is quite a long way away. The tram will take longer than the train but no walking. Swings and roundabouts! i guess you could hop on a tram at Piccadilly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'd echo the suggestions of parking near the motorway and getting the tram/train. If coming from the south, park at East Didsbury (big, free car park) and change trams in town, or anywhere along the Altrincham line (Sale, Timperley etc) and get a direct one. And if anyone is staying in MediaCity/Salford Quays area, there are trams from that direction too. The aforementioned Sinclairs in town is a Samuel Smiths pub, so is ridiculously cheap. The beer isn't the best, but for around £2 a pint you can't complain. The Mitre across the road is another popular one with visiting European fans.

A pub in St Nicks Market (quite a few years ago, and I forget the name) used to sell Sam Smiths - one of myfavourite pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Cigar Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 @Alanthemanc, Hi, just seen this from your club's website: https://www.mancity.com/ticket-information/visiting-the-campus/visiting-the-etihad-stadium I asked you about bringing rucksacks into the ground. Apparently bags no larger than A4 size allowed! Under prohibited items, it lists: food/drink!!!! Is that right??? You can't bring your own food or drink (non-alcoholic obviously) into the ground?

Fat Cigar Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Been in touch with my sister-in-law's bloke (who's a Man U STH) and he says you are definitely not allowed to bring in any rucksacks or food or drink at Old Trafford. Women's handbags are fine. Assuming it's the same at The Etihad, things like rucksacks need to be stored somewhere beforehand. God knows where. And then you join the huge queue to pick stuff up at the end. Will leave my rucksack on the coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 The safety of everyone at any sporting or music event is paramount for every organiser or club. I know that dark humour is a British trait, but would imagine that any form of humour, such as above, will not be appreciated by the Mancs on here or at the game. Apologies if you think it's an old man preaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get young kids get bored but surely if they aren't that into football you shouldn't be dragging them up to Manchester on a mid week? I'm also pretty sure they will sell food and drink at the ethiad 12 minutes ago, bengalcub said: I’ve never understood the bottle top ban .... shake a bottle of Coke up with the lid on and feel how hard it goes. if you then launh that at players or fans you could do some serious damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
