Definitely the northern quarter, then walk to the ground, just follow the trams through Ancoats/New islington....

Personal favourites:
Crown and Kettle
Port street beer house
The Castle.

Three good pubs there. Also worth checking out The Lower Turks Head opposite Shudehill bus/tram station

I will park up at my daughters house and walk the 200 yards to the away fans entrance

What would be the best tram stop in the city centre to get to the Etihad before the game? We’ll end up walking back after the game but have always got an uber previously.

You can walk to Etihad from city centre. Takes about 15 minutes from Norther Quarter

Just follow the crowds

I've been with Octopus for quite a while and smart meters fitted. Fabulous until things go awry which they did last December. No signals, no data. The bills I received were, of course, estimated but when compared with the previous year's useage they seemed reasonable until I received a bill that, h...

The big difference will be when the VAT is due, even if the transfer is paid in installments the VAT is paid upfront.

Agreed.vat cannot affect profitability.only cash flow

We normally just walk back to the city centre but looking at weather forecast for Saturday might not be the best idea. Whats it like for drinking up around media city?

There are plenty of modern bars but very few ‘proper’ pubs

Down_Rover

Last time there when it was a Saturday, we got a day travel card for the tram and went drinking round Sale, there were plenty of pubs around the tram stop area then it is only a couple of stops back to Old Trafford, after the match got the tram back to Sale which was a lot smaller queue to get on t...

Cheers Down rover & Quoon. Does it then cap it to the same price as the 1 day pass for the zones you go through ? Yes it calculates the cheapest fare for your journey. You will be in a mess only if you forget to tap in and out each time you get on or off a tram It is the same system as used by many...

Leeds keeper took 21 seconds last night to take a free kick just outside his area. Score 1-0, deep into time added on

To be consistent the rule Change should includes free kicks, throw ins and boot lace adjustments

I’m sure it will be consistently applied throughout the season.

Against us yes. Referees wouldnt miss a golden chance like this

Looking to dispose of my old Burnley shirts. Any suggestions as to where they might be sold

Not looking to make a kings ransom. Will probably donate any proceeds to charity

I might sell my ticket and not bother going if its that bad

Good luck with that. I suggest you market it outside of this forum

First time I watched us play Man City was at Main Road when they had their double relegation... We were in a temporary stand and we drew 2-2 I think What a day that was I was there too. Any Payton scored twice if I remember correctly. I could walk to Maine Road in 20 minutes then from my home in Ma...

Andy McCluggage played over 200 games for us & scored 22 goals as well as winning 13 full caps for Ireland, so hardly obscure to be fair. Did you see any of those goals? I only mentioned him because I have never seen his name on here before I went to primary school with a relative of his in the six...

Disagree re him being goof enough. The VK set up hung the back 4+ Trafford out to dry. Beyer is a very good footballer. Would make a very good cd midfielder imo.

It would be be as good as Tarks in midfield?

Looks like Peter Rodrigues and Mick Channon to me

Can’t work out the connections tho

You have to make sure new arrivals ‘fit in’ with the local customs

If Trafford goes (and it’s looking likely) I would go for Muric. We’re going down anyway so we may as well have a laugh.

I would be delighted to get as many 0-0 draws as we did last season. Could be the bedrock of staying up

Down_Rover

I googled ‘ does Alan Pace own Espanyol?’

Absolutely not according to the A I response

Silly me for asking

Just read a click bait article suggesting we could buy Joe Gomez.alongside Ben Mee would be fun.Ben could teach Gomez how to tackle properly

Coventry missed promotion by 31 points uet avoided relegation by only 20 points.

That a team with such a poor record can get in the play offs underlines how mediocre this league is

Great trip. I agree about the car, loads to see

The old city is full of great restaurants so try and find a hotel within walking distance. My favs were Escargot and au four saint louis

We need to consider renaming the concourse bars. My nearest is the Billie Watson bar. Can we call it Steve’s bar?

I backed Manure to get relegated at the beginning of the last two seasons at 200/1 and 150/1. I will continue backing them as it will happen in the next few years.
In the seventies there was one season where Burnley were in the first division and manure werent

Not sure if some of the posters on this thread are parody accounts. Watford lost the plot, we didn't. The 2nd sending off was a yellow card every day off the week and then Louza who was in the refs face most of the game starts sarcastically applauding. What does he expect. If burnley players behave...
