This Saturday

[meeesh]

Morning lads/lasses,

Having to come into Manchester this Saturday through Victoria as there is major engineering at Piccadilly,so just needed a bit of a heads up for the boozers to head for and to also catch the Chelsea v Liverpool match.

It's a long while since I been at that end of town coming in on train,so any ideas appreciated,I'll have a look in Sinclairs,and I know there's Crown and Kettle,was gonna try a bite to eat as well around that area (pub) before getting a cab upto ground,not interested in Printworks though !

Cheers

Well the trains from Crewe to Piccadilly were ok last night, albeit some of them running late and one cancelled. Not heard anything about problems on the route for Saturday's game

As you come off the platforms turn left and head towards the escalators.At the bottom look right and there is a wonderful pub right opposite the taxi ranks by the traffic lights,The Bulls Head.Loads of City fans,great ale,free butties and 50 yards to jump into as taxi afterwards.Usually only costs about £5-7.

I think there's confusion here lads. I read that you're not going to Picc, you're going to Victoria? If so, there a few battle cruisers close to the Crown & Kettle where they have games on TV. Try The Smithfield, good ales in there mate;o)

Im on the Preston train as well so ill be in the same boat. Normally pop in the Waldorf so a boozer around Victoria will be required.

did that trip for the last home game and we headed to the Turks Head and had a scran in Bluu
the bar in the train station is ok too but not sure if they show the football

Hahaha I usually try one in Waldorf myself,but I thought fuck it,I'll have a mooch around Victoria end for a change,I ain't walking up there neither !!

Tib Street Tavern do food and have live football. Not too far from Victoria.

 

[Second Skin]

Turks Head on Shudehill is a decent boozer, does food as well, but I have not eaten there. You can always go to the Printworks or Northern Quarter for food. Hare & Hounds is cheap (Joey Holts). Some places in the Northern Quarter don't allow football colours, I have heard that the Tib St tavern is quite good and does a burger & pint offer, but no colours.

You can jump on the tram at Shudehill that will take you to the game.
