City will play in Hong Kong this summer

[Plonker]

Good boozer to meet before and after the games ?

I suspect the Maya Bar & Grill in Wan Chai will be well frequented by travelling Blues, so I'd recommend that if people want to catch up before and after the game. It's only a couple kms walk from the stadium and has recently been awarded "Heart of the City" status by the club.

Cheers.

What ever happened to Delaney's? My club team used to frequent there after our Sunday League matches and I used to meet 4 or 5 blues in there for a match back in the 04-06 timeframe.

Delaney's is still going strong. One of my regulars when in HK. Not exactly what I'd call a boozer, a bit too many noisy ex pat banking chavs pulling or showing off their local 'ladies' :D

But, if you were there with a bunch of blues I'm sure the chavs wouldn't be so annoying.

Not been to Maya bar but will give it a try Tuesday 23rd when I get in to HK.

Certainly can. Mike's e-mail: mikehill992@hotmail.com

I asked contacted Mike after seeing the article on the MCFC o/s. I emailed to ask him for assistance as it our first time to HK. Mike responded quickly with the following useful info:

HK is very easy to get around -public transport is excellent. The MTR (tube) will take us to most places we want to visit, it is very cheap, clean, safe and ALWAYS runs on time (which is every 1 minute in rush hour). He advised us to purchase an Octopus Card when we arrive which you can load with as little as $100HK. This card can be used on the MTR, buses and ferries and is VERY convenient. You can also use it at many shops and services including 7-eleven, Watsons (pharmacist) , supermarkets, Peak Tram etc, etc. When you leave HK you can easily surrender the card and they will refund any remaining balance.

The airport is very efficient and easy to navigate. To get to our hotel we can either take a taxi which will cost you about $350 or alternatively take the airport express train which departs for the city from the airport arrivals area. The train costs about $90 one-way to Central. Once at Central we would take a short taxi ride to our hotel which will cost about $20.

Taxis are very cheap, clean and well air-conditioned, although beware, not all drivers speak English so he advised we print out the name of our hotel in Chinese, if possible as most things in HK have two names, an English name and a Chinese name and they are not the same, our hotel which is the Cosmopolitan Hotel has no meaning in Chinese.

HK is a very safe city so it's good to walk around, although beware it is very hot and humid in July. Some attractions that we may want to consider are:

•The Peak. Can be accessed via the Peak Tram or taxi
•Big Buddha
•Stanley Markets
•Junk trip on the harbour
•Jumbo Floating Restaurant at Aberdeen
•Harbour laser light show every evening at 8pm
•Wanchai night life (Maya is in Wanchai)
•Hollywood Road

Hope this useful for you.

All excellent information. I would say that unless you have a need to throw money away, take the train from the airport, not a taxi. The train service is excellent.

I know a few of us have booked at the Novotel Hong Kong Century.

Accor, the owners of Novotel have just started a sale. If you join their membership program (free) and select a pre-pay rate rooms are available with a 40-50% discount !

I just saved 250 quid for my 4 day stay ! :D
