Quote ="bowvey"Train from Wigan was absolutely fine got to Manchester about 1 straight for a quick bite to eat in arndale food court then thought better get to old Trafford make sure we're there then drink round there
Bought return tram tickets outside primark and waited, at least 5 trams came past rammed like sardines so ended up round corner at Piccadilly bus station bought return bus tickets finally goat bus up there and got our 1ST beer (a can of larger) outside ground at about 5:30
After game police weren't letting the buses through til all pedestrians had dispersed . So ended up walking half way back before flagging a taxi rest of way then train was rammed on way home
So all in all wasted a return tram ticket and one journey of a bus ticket and only drank enough berr that I could of actually drove my car
Plus this year taking my 5&8 year olds'"
yeah i see what you mean, i think the big mistake was going up to OT so early, the pubs up there are awful and thay charge to get in and the offy's charge disgraceful prices for a tinny, we walk to and from the ground which from deansgate train station isnt that far away in honesty... i guess having the 5&8 year old that aint ideal. coach the better option for you like you say.
some info theyre for other fans, going up to OT early is an error if you want to drink beer!!
