Fanzone
Piccadilly Gardens, in Manchester city centre is the designated fanzone for away supporters. The following public houses are recommended:

Wetherspoons (B)
The Brunswick (C)
Piccadilly Tavern (D)
Kro Piccadilly (E)
The Waldorf (F)
Edwards (G)
Yates (H)
Please note: these pubs are generally used by home supporters but you are most welcome to enjoy the experience with them. We ask for your co-operation and are respectful of their hospitality. Greater Manchester Police will be located in this area throughout the day to assist with any questions or to provide directions around the city centre. Fan Liaison Officers will also be on hand to assist; they will identified by wearing green bibs.

Supporters will be escorted by Greater Manchester Police to the Etihad Stadium. All supporters are required to be located in Piccadilly Gardens (at the fountain) by 17:00hrs and the group will commence the 60-minute walk at 17:15hrs.

Please note: any supporter who is not part of this group, may miss the start of the match due to the thorough searches and ticket checks that have been arranged, upon reaching the Etihad Stadium. Greater Manchester Police and Manchester City Football Club appreciate your support at this time. Any supporter that is part of the ‘group march’ and upon reaching the stadium, does not have a valid match ticket, will be asked to leave the complex and return to the city centre. In addition to the above options, supporters without tickets are also able to watch the match in the following public houses:

Walkabout on Quay Street (B)
Norwegian Blue, The Printworks (B)
There will be no match ticket sales on the day.

Upon Arrival

Supporters will be searched prior to entering the stadium. These thorough searches will be carried out by Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Football Club Security and sniffer dogs will also be present. Any supporter found with prohibited items in their possession will be arrested. Interpreters will be located within this area to assist if you have any questions.

Items that are prohibited to be taken in to the stadium include:

Flares or pyrotechnics
Knives, weapons (or items considered to be weapons e.g. umbrellas)
Air horns and loud hailers (megaphones)
We are happy for supporters to bring the following:

2 x small drums (drums that are deemed too big by the security team will not be allowed in)
Flags or banners (maximum size is 2m x 1m. Flag poles are not allowed nor are flags that portray offensive language and/or imagery)
The first two rows of the upper and lower tiers have been netted to allow the flags to be positioned in this pre-designated area. Manchester City Football Club stewards will assist with this, once you are inside the stadium. Any supporter found to be adjusting or removing this netting will be ejected.

In line with UEFA regulations, there will be no alcohol on sale within the stadium on the day of the match. Food and soft drinks will be available on the concourse (GBP only)

During The Match

We ask that all supporters remain in the designated seating area and that they do not block the aisles. Any supporter who attempts to invade the field of play, at any time, will be ejected from the stadium and may be arrested. This also applies to any supporters identified to be throwing items on to the field of play or in to the home supporter areas.

Manchester City Football Club operates a zero tolerance policy on away supporters seated within home areas. Any away supporters identified within the home supporter areas will be ejected from the stadium.

Also that forums a good read when you translate it!

I'm actually looking forward to bumping into them and having a pint! Seem like there up for a laugh :) can't wait for Wednesday!

Come on city!!
 
Me too, you're welcome.
And the security-forces will be astonished about the friendly, peaceful but loud and enthusiastic behaviour of the Dortmund-Fans.

We all can't wait to return to Manchester, where we had a great semi-final in 1997.

Nope, not the scenic route. Just the straightforward one that doesn't take 60 minutes to walk! Enjoy your visit, Wilfredo.
 
Thank you very much. I'll do.
We're leaving Dortmund on Tuesday at 8 p.m., Wednesday in town, and after the match back home by coach and ferry, so we'll arrive in Dortmund on Thursday about 1 p.m.
