[The Fat el Hombre]

Went yesterday was decent enough. I only had one drink so didn't massively scope it out, The queue from Joe Mercer way took a while to get in because they only had 2 guys doing the security checks, so they can improve on that.

On the whole though seemed decent and another good addition that will be useful whilst we wait for the new City Square area

There was another entrance over the bridge further round, no Q there

Well they were clicking 1 in 1 out when we left at half 3, which was the same time they stopped serving so anyone queuing then wouldn't have been able to get a drink! For info it closed at 4pm.

We were on a bench outside near the gazebo there was plenty of space near us (more benches and seating areas might be a good idea btw?). Bar looked about 3 or 4 deep but I don't know how long it was to queue cos my mate got the drinks in before we got there, but he's not one to wait about so can't imagine it was too bad.

Yea my mate told us when we already in the queue at Joe Mercer Way, but by the time we knew that it seemed much of a muchness to leave the queue we were already in and not too far from the front of. Think it took us about ten to 15 mins to get in but yea will try the other entrance next time

Service was pretty quick tbf, bar staff more professional/better trained than in the stadium

Couldn't get into Canalside as they stopped access at 3.30pm, but why was Buzzers bar closed after the game. Pretty sure I've seen it open after other Derby games ?

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but seems to be an imminent announcement on a NBA European League coming as soon as 2027 which will have a Manchester City team along with other major European football teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but seems to be an imminent announcement on a NBA European League coming as soon as 2027 which will have a Manchester City team along with other major European football teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.

The full statement is the following: “GBB League Ltd. (GBBL) will launch the first season of its new British basketball league in September 2027, coinciding with the anticipated first season of NBA Europe, and to provide sufficient time to work with the British Basketball Federation (BBF), the Home Country Associations and the British basketball community to prepare for the launch of a new elite academy for young players who will represent the future of the Great Britain National Team. Two NBA Europe teams – based in London and Manchester – are expected to compete in GBBL’s new league.”

GBBL states that NBA Europe will start in 2027 having teams in London and Manchester

Almost accidentaly the new date for the lanch of NBA Europe might have been confirmed

Nothing on the website to suggest that it is. The game v rags was a trial.

It will be open but simply red play the coop that day so may well be restricted to Gig ticket holders

Burnley kicks off at 15:00. Can't imagine there will be that many gig goers knocking about pre-match so can't see why it wouldn't be available to city fans

I have just driven past the ground tonight and it’s lit up pink. Any particular reason?
Excuse the photo quality.
