Which pub in Lowton is your old local? Just wondering as I am from Lowton myself.

Full English for Brunch then off to the Rodney for a few beers before getting the coach to OT.
Back to Warrington for some more beers. It's my Birthday on the Monday. Just hope we're all still celebrating.

Either heading to the Etihad to watch Everton or catching the match in the City Centre. A few drinks in the Afternoon on Deansgate, taxi to Sam Platt's around 4pm.

Post-Match: A couple of drinks in Sam Platt's then a minibus back to the Town Centre to either celebrate a famous win or find a dark hole to crawl up in.

Many heading into city centre at all? Will be heading in about 12ish, and fancy a good atmosphere somewhere.

There were loads of people in the Paramount near Oxford Road last year, lots of singing (no drums) and they had eight cask ales named after the top 8 which I enjoyed working my way along!

We still have no idea how we are getting there and back yet!

Unplanned days/nights out are always the best, Mark.

You haven't set off yet? You've got no chance.

Meet at the King & Queen at midday, then picked up by minibus at 1pm..........dropped off in Manchester city centre, then depending how busy the bars are, we will most likely head to the Oktoberfest.

Working a 6-2 so hopefully finish a bit early, coach/mini bus down. few beers in Manchester before game. Back to Warrington to drown sorrows/celebrate in Cromwells more than likely.

working in the morning? That eight hours hours is going to feel like days.

In same boat work 5 till 10.30 home showered changed and 11.20 train from bank quay.

indeed, ran out of holidays. Place is full of Wire fans do doubt ill be the only one. Just gona sign the famous wigan rugby for 8hours

Nice leisurely drive home on Saturday morning. Staying at my sister's house. Four of us somewhere near the ground about 4pm, a few jars, then into the game. Straight back to Warrington afterwards and either drown our sorrows or celebrate.

This thread has got me thinking. Does anyone know the bloke who travels to all the away games from somewhere in West Yorkshire! I used to bump into him in various train stations pretty much every week during my three years in Yorkshire exile but never actually got talking!

Breaky in the Looking Glass and then Mini Bus to city centre...Probably have a few in the Moon Under Water on Deansgate and various other pubs...
MetroLink to Old Trafford and a couple in one of the bars round there...Then the game...
The rest of the night depends on that...

Game of golf Saturday a.m.
Into clubhouse bar to watch the remainder of the City v Everton game
Match
Straight home for (hoping) celebratory Scottish water

I've only ever been on a night out around Deansgate, anyone know any decent eating establishments?

What kind of food do you like?

I'm open to anything.

Sams Chop House or San Carlo both just off Deansgate. Oast House in Spinngfields or have a mooch down Castlefields. Alberts Shed is good.

Get up go to work.home by 3 home shower then head off to the shop. Buy a case of lager watch the game then head off to an engagement party.

Not unless anything changes from now until Saturday by a certain poster on this board.

Btw how does the Metrolink work? Do you pay on the tram or have to get a ticket elsewhere? Where do you get the tram from?

Must buy before you board from the machine on the platform. Personally would advise against the tram and suggest getting the train from Piccadilly or Oxford Rd. Only takes a few minutes then you are actually at the stadium, Old Trafford tram stop is located at the cricket ground so you've then got a few minutes walk on top of having stopped everywhere
