I take a look at Bluemoon everyday but didn't join till today so can't start new topic and hoped that i could get some advise on this one. I've been a City fan for 41 years now and managed to get up to Maine road now and again in my youth and before the second marriage and 4 kids. Have been to Eastlands once when it first opened on a weekend trip with wife ( Beat by Arsenal ) and tomorrow i am coming up from Oxfordshire with my 8 year old boy for his first ever trip to see City play. We are staying at Ancoats and i would just like a bit of advise so i can make it a special day for him. It doesn't look too far to walk so i just wondered is it a safe walk and is there a pub i can pop into with him on the way before the game so he soak in the atmosphere. Thanks
