Our supporters bus travels into the stadium via Droylsden Rd, Manchester Road down to the campus and asda. Anyone know if any of the pubs on this road are Blue pubs on match days to have a peaceful drink in for a couple of hours before kick off. Sick of that shite beer they sell in the ground.

Halfway House at Edge Lane on your route is worth a try. Usually decent amount of space and loads of screens in the back barOur supporters bus travels into the stadium via Droylsden Rd, Manchester Road down to the campus and asda.

The Halfway House and The Grove are both Blue friendly Holts pubs. The Halfway is bigger.

Recently moved to Droylsden from Salford and pleasantly surprised by how Blue the place is. Silly Country is great for a few pints before the match and only a few yards from tramMarket st in Droylsden has blues out before a game silly country and jam works some call in the jolly then got the halfway house and the Grove
Apologies for slightly derailing this post, but on a similar vein, can anyone recommend decent pubs within walking distance of the ground? I usually go to Mary D's or Townley for a last drink before going in, but is there anywhere else decent? cheers

If you want decent quality ales but at a high price Cask 2 and 7 Brothers in Ancoats are a 15 minute walk or Bradford Inn for a bit of Holts in a bit of a rough area but closer to the ground.

The taprooms of Cloudwater and Track are good
Tried the Halfway house today absolute spot on. Good pint of trailblazer and tram stop straight outside to the ground. Think we've found our new pre match watering hole.The Halfway House and The Grove are both Blue friendly Holts pubs. The Halfway is bigger.

A few long term Blue mates drink in there. If you speak to Phil or Johnny in the bar area then say hello from me.

Is the Waldorf still considered the best option to watch City away games in town?
Looking for a boozer tomorrow night where the vast majority are Blues.
I live in Irlam which is unfortunately a Rag stronghold, hence me hopping on the train to town after work.

If coming from Gorton way, you can’t go far wrong with The Angel on Wellington Street IMO. It’s got its own City room and the beer is cheap and served in proper pint glasses. 30-35 mins walk to the ground though but an Uber is usually on hand if you don’t leave it too close to kick-off. Unless we’re drinking in town pre-match, we’ve now decided to sack off moving on to the pubs around the ground from there. The Townley was usually our pub of choice but the beer has gone to shit of late in there so we’re sticking with The Angel.

Are there even any pubs left in Irlam? Last time I went through, The Ship was boarded up. The other big one on the same side looked like a curry house or something. Didn’t go off the main drag, so dunno about The Boathouse. Catholic Club looked open but not really a pub.

It’s slim pickings mate. Boathouse is nice but it’s Rag central and will be again tomorrow, sadly.Are there even any pubs left in Irlam? Last time I went through, The Ship was boarded up.

I’m told the Catholic Club is full on Raggy too so I’ve never bothered with it.
There’s the White Horse but not sure they even show footy.

The Waldorf's alright, i've been in there a few times, can get packed for the bigger games though as its not that big a pub .... the Salmon Of Knowledge on Lever Street is bigger, and has got a huge screen, great for football, but sometimes a fair amount of City fans are in, sometimes hardly any ..... I watch a few City away games in the Crown and Anchor near Shambles Square too.Is the Waldorf still considered the best option to watch City away games in town?
