Even if we, God forbid, lose on Saturday, I'd presume we're still having a parade as we've won the double? Anybody heard anything?

My mate has been working in the football museum in town and they’ve been told it’s on……… TUESDAY. Gives a few more Blues travelling back on the Monday chance to be there at the parade to end all parades.

There was a guy on the other thread before it disappeared who said he was 100% if it happened it would be Monday.

Can’t remember who he is but think he said he’d got that from council officials.
 
It’s going to be on Monday again, isn’t it, which is shit. :-(


1. Because there will be loads of City fans still in Istanbul or making their way back to Manchester.

2. Having the parade on a Monday Evening makes it impossible to do for many City fans from outside Manchester, as they have to get time off work at short notice, and make long journeys to Manchester.

I appreciate the players want to get away, but holding the parade on Sunday or on Saturday that week would be much better and would allow 10,000’s more City fans to attend the parade.

Week on Saturday and Manchester would be rammed, Monday and we wouldn't make it still on way back :-(

England play next Friday night in Malta. Not checked but I imagine most other countries have games next weekend also.

As you say, thousands will still be in or coming back from Istanbul on the Monday.

Plus Saturday 17th June appears to be one of the quietest days for events in the city going.

Any updates much appreciated....around £50-60 with cancellation now. Also must point out not getting ahead of my/ourselves just if it gets on don't want to be thinking I could have been there given my shift pattern....
Edit:
The above was regarding Monday 12th. Hotel prices on Travelodge site more expensive for the Tuesday....
 
Unless you work in town having it on a Monday isnt great. Most people don’t finish work until 5. It would be so much better if it was next weekend.

I would have thought most of players won’t be playing international games. I think all the England lads are being rested aren’t they?

100% being planned for the Monday, route has been planned and everyone informed, its a different route to previous years but still around the city centre with a stage presentation area and screens able to hold 50k not including parade route

Would have thought that a lot of people will be arriving back Sunday and Monday and may be off work Monday due to a somewhat heavy weekend so Monday evening probably suits more people than Tuesday when most are back at work.

Saturday would be perfect.

But I suspect it’s all sorted now for Monday.

On a personal note, I’m not back until Tuesday.

Will be great if City win on Saturday as I will see it, but I would love to see the treble parade through the city centre as well.
