Hollz Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 I've just cancelled a trip to London end of this month and managed to use the credit to re-book for bus to Manchester. I'll be travelling down early on the Saturday and getting the train from Manchester to Stockport which is only ten minutes I think. Going to stay on the Saturday night though so I can see my friend and back up on the Sunday - but she is unsure of places there to stay, so any suggestions welcome! Quote
Manc Saint Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Before the game you have plenty of pubs in Edgeley itself or you could drink in the town centre, afterwards barring the Grand Central area you could either head into Manchester or for a quieter night head to a local suburb for a pub crawl such as Hazel Grove, Heaton Moor or even take a crack at the Didsbury Dozen!

RickMcD Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBzHHcNptkk Watched that. What a hoot! The star man by a mile was the commentator. Nearly creamed himself at County's three goals and stony silence when City scored. The guy's a scream. Quote
