best ever city match day pub...

[brandyzee]

Osbourne by far the best pub on match days, but alberrt and claermont ran close.

The Grapes.

Me and Tommy would talk about the old days and then wander off to the match. He bought me a pint once.

I did like the Parkside tho.

I suppose a lot of it depended on where you came from. Being from North Manchester i only frequented the ale houses town side of cleremont road. Started going in Jabez Clegg in the latter years, always a nice welcome.

Drank in most of them but these three and the gardeners were the best

I'm really, really glad that no one has said Mary D's. And not even on the wum either. I was too young to drink when we were at Maine Road but I did enjoy the visits to the Parkside, with a certain Mr Sow on the door

Think if someone mentioned Mary-D's Blue Moon would go into meltdown. I only went in the Parkside twice I think as a young lad with my dad, couldn't drink of course but I have vague memories of the place. From those two vague memories alone I can say that the Parkside was 1000 times better than Mary-D's, and I'm actually a fan of the latter. Seems to be a lot quieter nowadays though, shame to be honest, at the end of last season there were several games in there that I thought everyone was bang up for it! Was quality.

Gardners for me.

The Parkside with mates, or the Fallowfield with my brother.

Always in good time for kick-off going from the Parkside.

Nearly always missed the kick-off going from the Fallowfield.

My brother still is a slow drinker....

Parkside was the best.
