Not directly steward related but in EL1 the bar would only serve 2 drinks per customer. Pointless and inconvenient as it meant our designated waitress (Mrs SHCF) had to go round twice despite protesting that the HT round was for 4 of us. Now she likes a drink but 4pints of Asahi in 15 minutes...

Macc bus was 20mins late, plus more delay setting off cos the driver didn’t know how the ticket machine worked!

I was 14 in the scoreboard end with a denim jacket with hells angel style city “wings” on the back. When Denis scored and the orks came across the pitch a copper gave me a leg up into the seats, still chuckling now

Yep I was there and it rained and rained and rained. Still got the scar from Shrewsbury the year before.

Not directly City but does anyone know if they planning on doing something similar for events at the arena?

That is good, beat us driving. Many on it?

I’m in EL 102 and it was a bit flat, quite a few regulars not there, 3 blokes my age (ie quite old) sat in front of me in stony silence with arms folded until one muppet came out with the immortal line “ this is shite, not seen a decent game here in 5 seasons”. I couldn’t bring myself to respond…..

Is that definitely the case; I interpreted is as the ticket being used, eg if transferred to F&F it still counted?

Connell college is actually a great place to park for a quick getaway as ATW is shut at the academy bridge so you get a free run at the main road. The problem last week was they waited an extra half hour after scheduled departure time for “people who had bought returns” although no one actually...

Mmm, I think you’ve misread my comparator. I said “the UK” compared to Western Europe. All your examples are the UK, a very low baseline! I’ve lived or worked in pretty much every European capital and major city, most of Asia, Australia and a few dozen in the US, plus lived in China (clue in the...

Think I’ve solved the mystery of the meandering route back to Macc, don’t think double deckers can get under the railway bridge on Kirkmanshulme Lane to get across to Kingsway/A34 hence the diversion out towards Ashton

Normal bus, no toilet

Good to hear. I’m shit hot on google maps and can guide the No8 bus driver back to Macc without going anywhere near Thameside…

All they really need is someone who knows where we’re going, or a phone with google maps! As you say not the worse, could’ve been better

Sat in the Nags and Mrs SHF going mental to the Ska tribute band, could be here for a while….

We were parked the right side of that at the college. Straight out and into Longsight. The closed lights work in our favour from there

Dunno really. Back in Macc for 9.20 for free, should I complain given half the trains (all the big London ones) were cancelled? Just frustrating that it could have been so much smoother.

The difference being they actually get you there and back in a reasonable timeframe. Actually getting on the metro in Picadilly anything less than 2 hrs before ko is Russian roulette. And queuing after the game is comically bad. It’s not defensible or fit for purpose, never will be when it...

It’s actually the same people (Swans) who ran the service City set up before TFGM got involved. Totally disinterested drivers, no real clue (or interest) where they’re going

about half full I think, doubt it will be next time!
