The Co-op Live, next to the Etihad.

I imagine we could end up 12:30 on Saturday which would be shite.

That's my suspicion too. I'm sure GMP would be more than happy to do that.

Round about 3/ 3.30 Sunday seems to be the new go to time for derbies.

I wouldn’t have thought that would cause much issue with a concert.

It’ll be first concert that clashes with a night game, where we’ll see if there’s going to be problems.

Indeed.

Champions league game v one of the other big boys on the same night would be interesting to say the least.

This new arena is really going to feck up my chances of decent priced hotels

Is being fecked around for TV showings not enough, and now it's possible we will be fecked around for gigs?

PL won’t give a fuck about gigs and we will do what they say

Fuck the PL tell them to do one.

Also the majority of night games are UEFA. And you play when they tell you, no matter what.

Really enjoyable night, the venue is superb to be honest, the issues with pricing of food and drink is the same everywhere now so I don't let it bother me personally, had a few in the pub beforehand and bought a couple of overpriced cans of Grolsch, rather than queuing for ages we just served ourselves at the fast food chicken thing from the fridges, saw so many just putting cans in their pockets the staff didn't seem to give a shit but I'm not a thief.

Seen Liam 3 times this year and he doesn't fail to put on a performance every time.

Yeah, the drink prices are the only real issue but the AO in town isn't much cheaper. The service at some of the bars wasn't great but still better than the AO on that score. There's a small bar in the middle of the standing area right at the back that I got served quickly at during The Killers gig but later on had run out of beer so I had to go elsewhere.

Totally agree about the venue and the acoustics though - it knocks every other indoor arena I've been to in this country into a cocked hat. I've seen both Liam and The Killers/Travis there now, and next week I'm going to see Kings Of Leon with The Vaccines supporting them so looking forward to that one.

The gig you mean or the match?

McCartney is a 2 nighter, Saturday and Sunday, so doubtful either way, unless they move the match to a Monday night.................or dare I say Friday night

sat or sunday dinner kick off 3 hours between final whistle and concert
