Make sure you stop in for a drink in Billy Greens in Collyhurst.

A most excellent pint is pulled there.

I'm finally starting to think about a trip to see City in person. I would be flying over from the states, so obviously I need to put a little preparation into the trip.

Right now I'm thinking about a late February or early March trip (was considering this fall as well, but probably too late to get a reasonably priced flight), meaning these matches are possibilities:

Feb 25 - Blackburn
Mar 3 - Bolton
Mar 10 - @ Swansea
Mar 17 - Chelsea

The trip would hopefully last around a week. Would love to catch some other matches (maybe some championship or league 1/2) as well as take in some sight seeing if possible.

Some initial questions:
1) how easy is it to get tickets (home and away)?
2) how is the weather in late Feb/early March?

Any comments/suggestions are welcome...cheers!

Home tickets should be no problem ( the Chelsea game maybe sold out ) local teams like Rochdale , Bury, Macclesfield. you would definitely get tickets...........the weather ....COLD! ............ enjoy your trip mate

Remember if you see a lone united fan then this is classed as a parade. So bring some streamers.

Day trippers go to the swamp with a digital camera and a Norwich scarf.

Seeing as the Blackburn and Chelsea games could be postponed because of Cup commitments (in which City may not be involved) and Swansea away will likely be a popular one your best plan may be to arrange your flights around the Bolton fixture on March 3rd, but allow for it being anytime from 12-45 Sat to 8pm Monday in case Sky decide to televise it.

Make sure you go to The Marble Arch for a pint of Manchester Bitter
