Pubs before match

I know this has been discussed previously but given it’s a 5.30 kick off on Saturday…so plenty of extra boozing time…Where are the best places for pre-match pints when coming from Piccadilly?

I used to like a couple in the green (golf bar) which has now closed. So recently I’ve just been having one or two in Piccadilly Tap then straight to the ground but seen as I’ll be there from about midday it’s probably worth going to a few others, where are there normally plenty of blues?

when did the golf bar shut down?

Used to love going in there
 
How is it generally with away fans drinking in town, don't often imagine that.?

Mates who came up for the Chelsea game recently, met up with about a dozen other fans in Seven Brothers before the game. Lot of City in there too, but all was good. Afterwards we met in Lass with them too.

All decent pubs/bars that i’ve been in before/after a game

Don’t wear a City top or expect a sing song though

Tried out the Northern Monk for the first time before the Brentford home match. Absolutely fantastic quality & range of beer although a tad expensive for Manchester. In my eyes, worth paying a bit more for quality beer.

Good selection and pretty accurate but you forgot Hare and Hounds on Shudehill (the back entrance is in the NQ) Always rammed with Blues and cheap Beer.
