According to EDL website - they will be gathering at 12 in Wetherspoons in Piccadilly (edge of the Gardens) for a demonstration in Piccadilly Gardens at 5 (hmm, can't see how 5 hours of drinking could lead to problems!). Apparently UAF's counter demo is in the same place at 1.
So, avoid Piccadilly gardens.

It may not be too bad. While the centre lines have been shut, they've been operating a fairly orderly queueing system at Victoria and St Peter's Square to avoid pile ups on the platforms. |

Jus thought I'd share my limited knowledge with you
I have an accounting exam in a building about 2 minutes walk from oxford road station, we have been told that the demonstrations start at 10am and are anticipated to go on all day. We have been told that there will be a heavy police presence (as expected) but that there will be heavy security checks entering the building. (this was a little concerning as there are normally none, leads me to believe that these people can be quite nasty) We have also been told that we should take a packed lunch as they are not advising to spend any time in the city unless necessary.
Seems the best thing to do is go as directly as possible to Old Trafford and find a watering hole around there instead

Bit hard when the place you're staying is virtually on top of it. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: vikings 4 ever "I'm sure it said on the news the other week that what the EDL were doing were "static demonstrations" which are legal, in fact they said it was impossible to stop - freedom of speech and all that.
Purely from a devil's advocate position - if one group demonstrates and then another group turns up deliberately to fight them - how is the 1st group worse than the 2nd? However horrible or offensive you may find people like the BNP or the EDL, IMO the best thing is to ingore them. Surely what they want is young muslims fighting in the street. If the EDL held 10 demonstrations and not 1 fight or protest happened and it didn't make any news headlines, they'd probably stop doing them. Obviously they hold the demos to make the headlines and draw attention to themselves - why play into their hands.'"
Because they are all as thick as each other , most kids learn at an early age that if you ignore somebody they tend to go away , unless of course the people you are trying to upset actually want the confrontation , then it just costs us the tax payer a fortune  |

Just to make things a bit more awkward, according to the local news, The Mancunian Way (A57) is also closed both ways this weekend so there will be all manner of chaos/diversions.
If you are in the centre, set off early for the game!

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

This seems to be a national 'event' as the EDL's organised similar demos in Swansea and Cardiff as well.
