Or other fans buying of Salford because their club allocation has been sold? I suggest looking at other forums, people being advised to buy from Salford.

which is good business for the club

You will be able to walk around the whole second tier. You can also access the third tier via the spirals.

The beer at Mary Ds is disgusting and expensive. I'd always recommend having a beer in town and then making your way to the ground. There are some other places near Mary Ds that are marginally better. Eastlands Bar is better but the last I heard it had it's license removed (temporarily).




I can do it in about 25mins. Get on to Great Ancoats Street, heading towards Ashton. before you get to the retail park on the left you will see a canal. Walk alonmg this canal and it will take you to the ground.

As an alternative, you can catch the 216, 236 or 237 on Great Ancoats Street and this takes 5 minutes. You can also catch the bus in Piccadilly infront of NatWest.

If there is a group of you, get a cab. It costs around £6 to the ground from Piccadilly.



Best club site IMO.


For those going corporate....lucky you. The facilities are superb.

Is this just because other fans have been buying from us because they've sold out? Or will we actually be taking decent numbers??

So, will that be 760 from Hudds and 1240 from Salford then? (if our fans can make a journey that far - I remember Moor Lane 2003)

Giants have sold 1700-1800 so according to the RFL Salford have sold around 2800. Well done.

I have been told by a resident that the pubs around the ground put at least 50p on the price of a drink on matchdays.

Firstly thank you for your concern and I appreciate you being helpful. However being a 50/50 football and rugby fan, I'd say along with majority of football fans, we tend not to care about prices and beer, we just deal with and accept what will be will be. Something I can't understand watching football far and wide, you want to watch, you have to pay the price. Yet when it comes to watching rugby the majority of fans are very negative at the 1st opportunity. If fans put more effort into moaning about thinks and being proactive supporting the club then life would be alot happier. For some reason ruby fans think they are fair superior than football fans, I'd suggest they spent following Utd/City/Bolton, then they'd realize how much it cost supporting your club! Rant over but we shall be in Mary D's buying "overpriced and disgusting" beer but hey? lets not let it spoil having fun you bunch of mard

.

PS. Bring on the Salford.

I heard the same thing. They would have to sell beer cheaper during the week otherwise the locals would not go.

The beer is truly dreadful. I would rather go to the ground and drink or go to the Summerbee Bar in City Square. If it is open, I would recommend getting there early. The prices at the ground are very similar to those in Mary Ds.

To those of a United persuasion, you will be glad to know the owner is a red.

To assist with my sartorial elegance for the day,if anyone knows whether we will be playing in red or green could they put the details on this thread,please?

When I went for tickets last week at the Galpharm, they only had 2 unreserved tickets left. So I had to get reserved tickets and they only had around 30 of those left.
So if we have sold 1800 our allocation, how come Salford have sold 2800 did they have a larger allocation.

I have been informed on good authority we're playing in =#BF0000RED

I am prepared to put up with overpriced but life is too short to drink crap beer. Manchester is full of pubs selling good beer and if that means a long walk to the ground it is a price worth paying.

magic Weekend itinery
Saturday jobs around the house

Sunday
9:40 Train into manchester
10:05 Weatherspoons Breakfast
11:00 some more bars/beers
13:20 walk to ground
14:00 the match

Bit of a strange post. Sh*t beer is sh*t beer and overpriced beer is overprived beer, pointing that out hardly makes anyone mard. Does the willingness to pay the given price for whatever's available, regardless of cost or quality, make you better than someone who doesn't? The thought intrigues me.



So do the pubs round Old Trafford.



If you have to wear a replica shirt to the match, why do you need to base which one you wear on what the team will be wearing? Does that have a direct influence on how great your support for the team is? Personally I've found that vocal encouragement has a greater impact than the clothes I'm wearing.

You're only bitter because we don't have a black change kit

In answer to your first question it is solely for my sartorial elegance [size=85(and my herd instinct.)[/size
In answer to your second point,I do not think for one moment that what I wear has a direct influence on how great my support is.



The Black Cat,
Thank you for that.

Mary D's is average beer, people will go in there for the atmosphere associated with going to a game. If your after a quality pint then you can be selective in town. Any ideas of anywhere to drink where you can also enjoy a ray or two of sun? Shambles sq and rain bar are usually the go to places and very busy on hot days. Any other places?

Does anyone know how i can watch todays game here in australia??? Thanks

Eurosport on Foxtel, Channel 511

Well done Salford, great game, well deserved.

Well done. Best team won. London Giant.

Nice one Salford for giving us something to think about for next week. Well played today and deserved the win
