Maine Road or Etihad

[BimboBob]

Another only interested in the pubs - each to their own as I said earlier

You were the one to mention Summerbee's Bar. Not me. It was in your list of very good things about the Etihad. Why put it down if it is of no interest to you?

Did you visit any of them on non matchday?

yeah.......I lived around there. Too good for it are you?

Why did you move?

Why did you move?

What's that got to do with you? People still live there.......are you saying they are lesser than you?

He ran out of punters. There's a very small market for his kind of "street game"

Funny - I was thinking same about you. Have you read the comments from others on here who have similar thoughts to me about the atmosphere.

your love of all things Maine Road - It’s called nostalgia pal. Maine Road could be silent as a tomb sometimes & rocking on others. Just like the Etihad. But for me, walking up to the Etihad either down the main roads or from the link bridge - seeing it lit up - knocks Maine Road for 6.

this thread asks - Maine Road or Etihad? We’re not going to agree but just because you prefer Maine Road still doesn’t mean I can’t prefer The Etihad.

ive had enough of you now so this is my last response. Enjoy your reminiscing

Walking through dog shite , puddles and broken glass, while approaching the kippax, could never be replicated.
The half hour walk from the 1 inch kippax steps , down the waiting for a disaster steps from the top of the stand, queuing in the pouring rain to enter the piss filled urinals, modelled on Strangeways ,was a match day highlight.
Ducking the darts, broken bottles ,and random coinage on big match day, always bring back nostalgic memories.
Finally getting back to the car, the joy of finding a broken window, and missing stereo, the good old days.
They never ask the fans what they want when designing these grounds nowadays.

Most have the pubs have shut on the way to CoMS or around it. It is likely that most of the Maine Road pubs would be shut even if we stayed there. It is comparing two time zones.
