I figured that since I've been a fan before the takeover (see my login registration) and who knows if this isn't Guardiola's last season with us, it's finally time after almost 20 years to attend my first City game. It will be the one against Southampton at home, and I can't fucking wait.
Ticket is bought, flight ticket and accomodation not yet, but since I live in Budapest, and Wizzair came up with the "all you can fly" subscription, I paid 500€ up front for the next year to have the option to buy (one-way) flights for 10€ but earliest 3 days before the flight. I just checked and today I could buy the one to Birmingham in 3 days, so the plan is to buy the Budapest-Birmingham flight for 25.10. when the opportunity arises. Then a train from Birmingham and I should be still easily there in Manchester around noon on Friday. Then I'd be probably fly back (from somewhere) on Sunday 27.10.
Any recommendations, tips about...well, Manchester? Be it football or not. It's unlikely I will have time for too many things, and I'm already planning another visit, sometime maybe in January or February, if I could catch two home games in a row, but still... What if this is my first and last game ever? What are the musts? Any places, pubs, restaurants, museums, parks etc. are well appreciated. And of course, if someone is up for a pint to meet with a foreign virtual buddy, I guess I'm all in before or after the game. :)
