Bonus points of they’re wearing all black.

You need to sort your keyboard or fat fingers out pal. Twice in the past couple of pages you’ve typed of instead if of ;)

Haha only joking with you, my poor attempt at humour, yes stay til the end and clap the lads off :)

Hope you enjoy your trip!

I had a feeling that would backfire on u! :-)

Keep an eye on events on match day, this allows you to obtain free of charge tickets for family days and you will be able to get up close to the trophy’s for a few pics.

It'll just be my wife and I and we plan to arrive on a Thursday and leave on Sunday.

If the tv companies change the date of the match to Sunday or Monday you might be able to watch it on the laptop as you're half way back over the Atlantic!

Thank you so much for all this info. It will be extremely helpful as I plan. I am looking into some Airbnb's in the City Centre or anywhere I can get to the stadium quickly from. It'll just be my wife and I and we plan to arrive on a Thursday and leave on Sunday. I will most definitely be doing a tour before leaving. Thank you again for taking the time out to help. Much appreciated.

No problemo. Have a nice trip.
Enjoy it.

Ps. I almost forgot this, To cater for our American audience we even built a macdonalds next to the ground for u!
Don't mock our portion sizes though! :-)

Are you travelling alone?

I once had a job which involved asking questions of members of the public arriving in the UK. I asked an intense-looking young American chap “Are you travelling alone?” - whereupon he fixed me with a death-stare and replied: “Aren’t we all?”

Due back on Planet Earth, I had to cut our conversation short.

Have a great trip @YanktoManc .

As has been said on here, pay £35 to get City Match Day Memiership which gets you priority in booking seats at the start of the season. Anywhere in the South Stand is good for atmosphere. If you're on the lower tier you'll be standing all game, so if you want to sit down pick tiers 2 or 3.

If you're in Manchester for a few days the stadium tour is an absolute must. There shouldn't be any problem getting tickets near the time and you'll get to see the changing rooms, press conference area, go down to pitch level etc.

Prior to the Match head to the pub called Mary Ds for a proper pre-game atmosphere.

I hope some of that helps.
