Dress codes!!!! Are you for serious! Last year with the sun if you wore a rugby top you were overdressed. If you dont have a rugby top on they may question whether you are at the correct event!

Pubs - There are very few near the ground. Picadilly is a good half hour walk from the ground-Top up before you go. There are bars in the ground and an area ouside the ground where you can sit down to eat and drink.

Enjoy it its great, especially if your team wins

Try and get to Sinclairs Oyster Bar. Its a Sam Smith's pub near the catherdral. £1.50 a pint - there's usually loads of RL fans sat outside in a decent sized beer garden.

If planning a night out in Manc, you wont get in many places in a rugby shirt.

during the day you will be fine anywhere in rugby tops. as someone else said, there is nothing near the ground so do the pubs in town first, otherwise you are drinking in the stadium or in the fanzone. The fan zone at the ground was pretty good in the sun last year, hopefully will be the same this time around.

Just a few bits of info this year the Greater Manchester City Games will fall on the same weekend as Magic Weekend. On Saturday the Great City Games will be taking place in city centre Manchester last year over 20,000 turned out to watch, so expect quite a few more people in Manchester and on Sunday the BUPA Greater Manchester Run and I think attracted over 30,000 runners.

The good news is the Metrolink now runs up to the Etihad

Rule 1. I am always right. Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg



Are you able to buy tickets for the middle tier at around the half way line? The unreserved tickets just seem to be lower tier and the only upper tier more expensive tickets are just the corners?
