| I made a similar agreement with the Mrs in order for her to agree to us having Sky Sports. I cannot go to any away game if it is televised*. If football clashes with Eastenders, Casualty, Holby City or Waterloo Road then I have to record it and watch it later**.
[size=85* I negotiated exemptions for Cup games, Saints, Wigan, Widnes, and the Magic Weekend.
** Since getting a Tivo box we now have the old V+ box in the kitchen so I have to watch the footy out there which is much better as I sit by the fridge [/size

Likewise only I'm banished to what is now known as studio 2 (conservatory). Love it, no nagging

| Happy with the venue.
Time is a bit of an issue for me - meant to be off to the Manchester Apollo that night for a concert, but from what I hear getting away from the Stadium requires a high amount of patience. Tickets may have to end up on E-Bay.

| I only demand the tv in studio 1 when the Wire are on if playing away and I'm not going. Got to be fair to the mother of my children. Plus that way at least I can watch the tv in peace in the conservatory.

| Happy about this, wouldn't have been able to go Salford away because it clashes with the Stone Roses. Let's me visit the new stadium about a year before I thought I'd be able to.

Bought the concert tickets months ago. Semi-Final time was announced a matter of hours ago.

How big is it! The lack of surrounding pubs / parking has got to be a disadvantage to us.

The problem is that there aren't too many pubs within walking distance to the ground like the HJ.
It also depends how you are getting there, as if you get to Eccles and 'double commute' there are loads of pubs a 15 min bus ride or not too dear in a cab if sharing.
If you go along the motorway to Worsley one junction up from J nearest to ground you have The John Gilbert, The Bridgewater and Barton Arms within 100yds of junction.
If you come off the junction nearest to ground I would suggest that you head along A57 towards Eccles away from ground.Here you will find in order of distance, Unicorn, The Grapes, The Packet, Wangies, Spinners, Stanley Arms and Bridgewater the first three are walkable but def further than Hawthorn etc from HJ Most of them are Holts' pubs (cheap but aquired taste bitter) and the Packet used to have the best pint of Boddies back in the day.

The chill air from the fridge presumably stops you dozing off from the bore-fest that is wendyball. Good move.

| Unicorn's your best bet. Thats where most Solly fans go before and after our games, cheap beer and we usually get a good sing song going after the games. Is about a 15-20 minute walk.
Or there's St Mikes social club just over the road from the Unicorn about 100 yards closer to the ground. There's also the Barton Lodge at Barton Airport just over the road from the ground.

| The Trafford Centre is over the road. I say we all meet there for a beer in one of the pubs in "The Orient" before marching over to the ground with pitchforks.
