Can't wait!

I'd have gone were it not for the opposition. Playing the same team 250 times in the same season just gets utterly boring.

5 tickets rbought for me & my mates!

Probably go for the day.

Is there a train station nearby?

It's walkable from Piccadilly. About 20 minutes according to the [url=http://www.mcfc.co.uk/the-club/visiting-the-stadiumMCFC website[/url

Was going to go for the full weekend but I have my family holiday a week before, then two weeks later stupid work is sending me over to Austrailia for a couple of weeks so the money I had put away for it is now gone. I suppose I can't have everything.

Me and t*other half are coming up from the West Midlands...I cant wait for it,,heard though that there is not much in the way of pubs near the Etihad,so we are stopping in Salford Quays then going into City hopefully then bus it up there..

Nope, not me. I went to Cardiff last season and thought it was brilliant there. If the RFL is going to persist with this idea then Cardiff just can't be beaten for a great festival day of rugby league. Manchester certainly doesn't hit the spot.

Me plus 3 part timers. Might attempt the real ale trail.

traveling up from London! undecided if I am gonna do Saturday also so only booked the train back sunday night so far.

I think I'll be going but I really doubt I'll be booking in to a hotel and "making a weekend of it". The whole concept of that seems very daft to me considering I can get home fairly quickly from Manchester. Obviously those travelling over from Yorkshire may be more tempted to do the hotel thing, but it might change the whole feel of the event (which may not be a bad thing?)
