[Archived] Pre-semi Final Boozy Do

[Dan Furness]

The Knott is ok although I had to buy Dan a drink, he couldn't get served as he didn't have his I.D on him.

Lying squaddie rentboy

[Dan Furness]

Effing hell. Were they served in solid gold goblets you can take home? Where is this place?

Mind you there is a crap nightclub here that charges about £2.70 for a pint. In Bridlington! where people pretend to be disabled to get benefits! I didn't even pay that in Bedford, that that was a pricy place.

floor 23 of the Hilton, I went the game free so its only reason I went that place I tell you that!! it was for bottle of Becks, JD and coke and glass of wine.

[Scotty]

Just thought I'd bump this back up to the top seeing as some jobsworth had unpinned it.

There should be a few people off the messageboard in the Knott on Saturday - the likes of Manchester Blue, Percy, Rachrover, Jordan, cn174, Nuclearsox, myself plus anyone who's posted above and expressed an interest.

If anyone wants to meet up, but doesn't know any of the people listed, then send me a PM and I'll give you my mobile number.

Cheers.

be aware people, Scotty bites...

would have been cool to meet up on sat, but a student wallet can't afford that

Trust youll be out early on the sunday though Paal?

Spot of breakfast near Piccadilly about 10.30/11?

[spanishblue]

Stu, tried to pm you but your inbox is full. Sorry it's off topic but how much do I owe you for my childs Tugay tshirt? Want to get it sorted before mother flies out to see us next week.

Cheers

[Timmy]

they have changed their policy from last year

no football shirts now

had a nice duck wrap with wedges on saturday for £6

love that bar

Can't see many bars allowing foortball shirts on saturday night. I tried getting in the Cornerhouse bar with an england shirt on after the QF last summer, was turned away at the door

[northernrover]

On a slightly seperate note.... where will everyone be drinking pre-match?

And where is best place to park bearing in mind we'll be arriving from the south west?!

First time i'll have been to this dive so a bit green

All help appreciated

[SuperStella]

The Golden Tulip Hotel isnt a bad place to park, near the ground.

Anyone know if the pubs will be open around the ground? I'll be on deansgate for 11am.......

Which pubs on Deansgate have Eurosport? Open at 11am?

[Hasta]

Mr Stuwilky

I would appear that the good old Wetherspoons on Deansgate opens from 9am. Should be serving at 11am. Good bit of cheap din dins aswell.

Clicky clicky

[Driver99]

Our usual routine on trips to Manchester is,start at the Knott Bar,then onto Moon Under Water,Oyster bar(great wheat beer & cheap!) & then into the Hard Rock.

I think this is pretty much what we'll do after the game before getting a late train back to Chorley.

[Dan]

So wetherspoons is a good bet for the Sunday? Is everyone wearing their colours?

[northernrover]

Sounds good chaps.

Will be arriving around 11.30ish so hoping there'll be plenty of spaces.

Does it cost to park at the Golden Tulip?? Would it be a bad idea for any reason to park at the Trafford Centre?

Sorry for the q's..... just don't want anything to ruin the day!

Once we're there i'm sure we'll sniff out the 'Rovers' pubs

[Dan]

It wouldn't be a bad idea since the restaurant and cinema in there are open till midnight on a Sunday. Just might be an issue getting to old trafford from there, there are buses, but I don't know where these go and how regular they are on a Saturday.

It is unlikely you'll get in many places in the city centre wearing colours. Many places around Piccadilly don't like anyone who they think are going to the football coming in full stop.

[Jim J]

Well currently, the forecast for Sunday is a whopping 20 degrees.

Anyone know a good city centre pub with a big beer garden?

Rain bar - near the G-Mex.

Im guessing a lot of rovers fans will gather at the oyster bar and the pubs round there. Its a square surrounded by a few pubs between victoria station and deansgate

[the original david brent]

Does anybody know of a pub round victoria/printworks/deansgate that serves at 10am on a sunday. On 9am train so gonna be getting there early. Ive heard moon under water is open at 9 but does it serve before 11?

[Ricky]

Ricky is in love just ask jordan

You know I've only got eyes for you Moz.

[stuwilky]

The last time I saw Ricky he was very very pink...... that'll learn him to drive up the M5 in the purple penetrator with the top down.

[Ricky]

Note to self, wear factor 20 before driving in the sun for 3 hours!!!!

Maybe he was just very, very embarrassed?..... that'll learn him to drive up the M5 in the purple penetrator with the top down.

I dunno Ricky, the pink face kinda matched the pink shirt you were sporting at the time.

I bet it contrasts horribly with that car though.
