i would just drink at home then go straight to the ground if i were you mate.

You will also be able to get a drink in the ground - although at extortionate prices! they tried this at the Old Trafford game but various pubs chose to ignore it.

There are also others that a knock on the backdoor will get you in ;)

Does that mean Mary Ds probably won't be open then?

Balls. That's our plans out the window.

A few at home with breakfast, a few before setting off, and a few bottles to take with in the car for the 20 minute journey (im not driving btw )

that should suffice until were in the ground :)

I think it refers to drinking in the street or outside. I'm fairly sure most pubs will be open baring the ones around Piccadilly station.

Can anyone confirm the definition of the Alcohol Free Zone that will be in place between the City Centre and the Ground as quoted from the MUEN?

I am hoping MaryD's will be open.

CALM DOWN KIDDAS the alcohol exclusion zone only means no drinking on the streets. every pub will be open and beer garden will be open it only applies to driking in the streets which will be banned near the ground. and if caught alcohol will be confiscated and if you hand it over no problems

Drove past The Corner Shop yesterday, and theres a sign outside stating the pub is open prior to the game but will have last orders at half time and will NOT reopen till Sunday Lunch, so dont head there after the game

!

Would this be the disturbances that happened when the GMP let the GaY Army out of the ground at the same time as us then sat back and watched as they marched down the middle of Ashton New Road taunting all and sundry?

Just spoke to Danny Wilson at the club and alcohol will be available in the stadium and those pubs which choose to open. The Telegraph article is just an old story being regurgitated - there is a byelaw which has been in existence since 2003 and prohibits the consumption of alcohol on the street near the ground. Word of warning though, the police might be extra vigilant tomorrow with people who are shitfaced on their way into the ground.
