Or maybe a blue conservative tie ? 🙄

Surprised he doesn't wheel old Thatcher out to one of the meets

 

[Robster65]

She'll be with him in spirit I'm sure. 🙂

It'll be nice to meet ypauly and his better half, along with everyone else and I'll have to try not to change his views (like I ever could 🙄)

Manchester's Christmas Market opens this year on 17th so Manchester will be heaving next weekend. The main market is in Albert Square just around the corner from the meeting pub but it fills St. Annes Square as well and runs all the way down Cathedral Street to Market Street as well. Enjoy.

Thanks for the information mcdonagh - hopefully people will be too busy shopping to spend time clogging up the pub and leave us plenty of room! 🙂

City are also hosting Newcastle United that day, so watch out for Geordies on the loose and police at the Stations.

Why blue?

Hopefully if we are meeting up from around 11am we can spread out and bagsy a corner or similar!

If anyone wants to see what some of us look like, check out the photos from the York meet. I was there, so was Di, so was Hazel and you may recognise one or two others. Sorry, have not read the whole thread to know exactly who will be showing up.

See you all on Saturday!

I'm sure that all those Northern fans will be impeccably behaved, as usual. At least for me it is highly unlikely any of them will be travelling back on the same train as me that evening! 🙂

I'm sure they will be ! I might have to travel home with a few lol or I could make hubby come and pick me up after the game, he won't be far away with the car !

Morrisons car park in Whitefield. Its just north of Junction 17 on the M60.
The tram station is just opposite Morrisons and ten minutes to town.

Thanks for the info Mcdonagh.

 

[mcdonagh47]

Thanks for the info Mcdonagh.

Forgot to mention there is also a car park at the side of Whitefield Tram station for the trams.
Its on YOUR side of Manchester if you decided to go that route.
You would need an "Altrincham" tram not a "Piccadilly" one from Whitefield because the Alty tram would take you to St.Peter's Square which is just around the corner from the pub.
On way back you would need a "Bury" tram.

Its just a good option if you are driving from Glasgow, Junction 17 on the M60 is two hours drive from the Scottish border.

If you go to Hazel Grove you are driving 15-20 miles past Manchester then going back on yourself.

I will meet anyone from the metro stop in St Peter's Square if they wish. PM me for my mobile phone number. Few constructions things happening and you would normally be able to see the pub from the stop but there are boards up, etc.

2 more sleeps!
