If done right its an excellent idea, I will go on friday (as im sure many others will) to have a look at it with the family

Good ideas, 4 months too late, but good ideas.

Also means it will probably bucket down with gale force winds on Friday evening. Maybe even chance of snow!

I'll try this out after the game tomorrow before I go to the Unicorn instead of making my usual trip to St Mikes.

OK Martin, I think you should wait till Friday though!

Getting way ahead of myself, it's because it feels like I've been in work a week already!!!

Apparently the Saints game will be replayed on a big screen in the bar after the game, and the return match buses are staying on til 11pm so could be a good option for an after match drink.

Or Not

Wetherspoons bar 'Castle in the air ' in the snow dome complex


now selling a moorhouses special 'Red City Ale' @ 1.10 a pint ..

now that's a fans bar

And the shuttle bus is also picking up from there too. They also give Salford fans 20% off food on match days.

You'd think something like that would be advertised by the club as thats a decent saving, would be good if the Eccles Cross did the same and had that beer on too.

I saw it shared via the club's facebook originally listed on the Stadium's Facebook. I'm guessing there is some tie up with Peel with the Chill Factor being on their land.

Nice idea about the 'spoons in Eccles, but I'd shudder to imagine what it would be like in there at 4pm on a Friday if it had been serving drinks at £1.10 a pint all day. The Town Hall Tavern was like the Star Wars bar last time we sent in pre-match.

The display above the tele in the Town Hall Tavern is absolutely brilliant, though.
