I struggle to utter these words but Rooney has actually just said something sensible, calling Van Dijk out for whinging about 12.30 kick offs. Spitty is also saying something but google translate doesn’t do dolphin

An American lady came up to us on the concourse and asked us why my son had a 6ft inflatable banana (which btw took a lot of negotiation and escalation to steward mgmt to get it in). We tried to explain, not sure she got it. Forgot to ask her how many loyalty points she had.

Seemed very quiet everywhere, we’re in the Premier Inn next to the stadium and bar was half empty before the game, normally it’s packed. In Block 120 only half a dozen of us singing, most didn’t know any of the songs. But we won, so still a decent day out

Depressingly half and half on the concourse, but my lads banana has been allowed in after a stewards enquiry…!

Macc bus was a godsend. Got on it at 23.15, exact time the last train back to Macc left Piccadilly. No way could we have stayed for pens and made that

Do any arena ITKs know how many of the bars and restaurants will be ready to open next week? There for Peter Kay on the opening night and will get there early if any of the bars are open

Flew back from China for this, very disgruntled when they wouldn’t let me in the Green Man cos it was “full”. Managed to blag my way in on the coat tails of a coach driver, bag of nerves all game, never felt so content sat in the hotel bar later watching it on MoTD

I ordered 3 and other 2 went to original owners, not me?

Agree. I would not use it if it sat around for 45minutes, but this is always going to be the problem as different people have different criteria. We leave at final whistle, stroll back to Connell college and typically wait 5-10mins before it sets off. But we’re ESL1, probs the shortest walk.

We only do returns (if the trains are running into MCR) so I’m not sure the clicker can tell them much. Definitely a more relaxed option for getting back to Macc than rushed overcrowded tram and train

Dunno mate, the people I know who sit near us were mainly there but a huge number of “first timers” milling about excitedly, looking for the right aisle and seeming confused that they couldn’t take beer to their seats…

There were more tourists and half&halfers around 102 yesterday than I’ve ever seen for a league match, nearly at Champions League levels

Yes you can just buy a single. So far the bus has never been more than half full so no problem getting on. Might be a bit busier tomorrow with the parking ban kicking in and trains a bit dodgy but can’t see it being full

Anyone seen a list of what bars and restaurants will actually be in the new arena? As it’s supposedly opening in less than a month surely they should be confirmed by now?

Not deliberately, I used to live in SH and joined BM after a very long day on the beer, only noticed afterwards I’d spelt it wrong and seemed a lot of hassle to change it!
