Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Had to Google The Grove.

Appears to be wrong side of the ground if they have walked from the City centre, pity as it looks better than the 3 remaining Pubs I can think off.

Away fans usually drink in town like most City fans. There are loads of great places and the City fans are (mostly) very welcoming to away fans. Ancoats (pricy though it is) is even closer to the ground. They needed to do some research. Anyway next year they will be able to drink in the new arena bars which will be open on football matchdays with space for 3000 fans.

City be a great away day if you’re getting the train in.

If you are driving or on a coach be a bag of shit nowhere to have a drink.

All you could do really is stop beforehand.

It's only busy because the tram service is so shite.

How many would drink outside in sub zero rain and wind if they could get straight
to town into a pub.?

Have you ever thought that maybe thousands of people don’t have the same perspective?

Thought there was an irony in a couple of blokes from Bournemouth- yep that place on the South Coast - with an average age of 85 and a social scene to rival Eastbourne turning their noses up at Manchester…. They were even a bit haughty about the Etihad campus - anyone would think Bournemouth had a Premier League stadium and Beer Halls to rival Bavaria.

No it's busy because a lot of us like it. Give me City Square over what we had in the 80s and 90s any day.If you want to sit in a pub first then sit in a pub. It's a 20 minute walk to town. The Etihad isn't the back of beyond.The trams are only shite getting away, getting to the ground they are fine.

Where does this “20 minute walk to Town” come from? When you’re with a group of mates on the piss it’s easily a 40 minute walk to most places in Town. Even Google Maps has it as a 32 minute walk to Piccadilly Station and that’s one of the closest bits of Town to the Etihad.

Probably because you needed a piss mate. :-)
