Head past Old Trafford on Chester Road towards the M60 and it's next door to the Vauxhall garage with a Honda garage opposite I think.
It's cheap and basic, like all little social clubs. It's sometimes a bit of a no go on a United match day as you get a lot of lads on banning orders in there. I should imagine there will be loads of RL fans in there on Saturday.
Quote: Fatbelly " and the one opposite Piccadilly Gardens will all be busy with people going the match'"
Blimey it's rough in there. I was having a p!ss once in there with two lads behind me having a knife fight. Not a good situation when stage fright is kicking in. |

Now The Wire.

No alcohol to be consumed in the stadium bowl. Is this new? Sure I had a pint last time I went. Saying that it was 2003.

Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves

I've been in that Wetherspoons loads of times, often wearing shorts with an LFC tattoo on my leg, and never had any bother.
I must just be hard.

Great pub, all that ceiling decoration!! Probably more factually correct that it was demolished to make way for the office development in front of The Bridgewater Hall on what is now called Barbarolli Square. Happened overnight and a paltry fine ensued.
As I'm meeting my pals off the Warrington train at Deansgate, I will be pre match boozing on Liverpool Street, White Lion, Oxnoble, Cask, Commercial and The Deansgate next to Hilton on Deansgate seem favourite. Also easy side of town to get a taxi or met |

City are at home at dinnertime so there should be loads of people around from about 9am in the pubs/bars from both City and Sunderland (who always bring about 2800).
There are loads of decent pubs in town. I prefer them to most of the bars and certainly more than all the Weatherspoons.
If you get into town at a decent time you'll have time to go to loads of places.
Head down Princess Street past where the student/indie club Fifth Ave is and under the bridge on the right is Charles Street where there is Joshua Brooks www.joshuabrooks.co.uk/main/ on the corner (excellent night spot for anyone staying in town afterwards) and next door to that is the Lass O'Gowrie which has just won a 'Best Pub in Britain' award. Head down Charles Street and you go towards Oxford Road where there are places like The Thirsty Scholar and further up Temple Bar.
All great drinking places.
Northern Quarter northernquartermanchester.com/ is spot on. There are literally dozens of pubs and bars. Head for Thomas Street (opposite Shude Hill Met Station) and there are loads together, and just roam around and you'll stumble upon loads of places to drink (and eat - Troff do a great full English breakfast!).
Shambles Square (the place someone else mentioned as being opposite Selfirdges) is good. Sinclair's, the Wellington and the Mitre have fairly big outside drinking area, and the Crown & Anchor is just next door.
Close to St Peter's Square and opposite the back of the townhall is a Weatherspoons called the Waterhouse. Next door to that (at the back) is the City Arms and the Vine Inn (close by is Tiger Lounge). They are decent boozers.
Then you've got the more obvious (which will be more rammed, probably more expensive, with much worse choice of beers and arguably clientel), more cheesy, more commercial bar areas like Deansgate Locks on Whitworth Steet West and Deansgate and The Pritnworks.
Plus obviosuly the Quays area and pubs around Old Trafford itself.
I'll be out all day as i'm going to watch City at dinnertime so hope to see some of you around town! |

Personally I won't be "too upset" if we lose on Saturday.
At the end of the day you guys have played some fantastic Rugby League this season.
Bit of a shame we can't take Beer to our seats this year.
I know it's the same old argument "Can't you go 80 minutes without a beer" but there is actually people out there who can have a drink and not want to fight every man and his dog.
Suppose this ban has been coming for a while though.
Have a good day Rico! |

You have a good day too and without it turning into a complete 'love fest' there isn't any real arguement that Leeds are a class side with some top RL players...may the best team win.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

I remember the trip, and there being a conversation with the boss but can't for the life of me remember what it was about. I also remember it being painfully cold. |

No disrespect Ande, but this is terrible advice. Trafford Borough Council have a strict "No Street Drinking" bye law, and it is rigorously enforced on match days. If you are seen buying beers from the off licences there, you are likely to lose them to the police.
Another good pub is the Toll Gate at Trafford Bar metro link station. 2 mins from the ground on Seymour Grove junction with Talbot Road. |
