I've given up drinking (so anyone posting on here about hoodlums who can't handle their ale spoiling it for everyone else won't be talking about me ) but still wish to make a full day of it, so I'm taking the lad to the Hard Rock Cafe for our dinner in the afternoon.

I'm currently looking forward to my meal, but scared stiff of the match.

Either a very late night in Deansgate (No colours you'll be happy to hear)
or an early night sulking

Ha, I went to a gig after the match last year. I'd already bought a ticket so was going regardless of result, but I didn't enjoy it one little bit.

Drunk, so it eases any pain I was sober come kick off last year.

In work next day but will be celebrating till the sun comes up if we do it.

Nice few drinks around Manchester, game, and then back to either Newton for more drinking or home to Warrington (dependant on the result)

Bridge St massive?

Good god no. I'd like to consider myself slightly more refined as I'm getting older, Yed.

Couple of pints in Warrington, coach to OT, game, coach back to Warrington then:-

a) Several more celebratory pints in Warrington

or

b) Go home and hibernate

few beers in manny after being drooped off in coach park...are there any decent pubs within walking distance from ground that will let kids in

We went last and are goin again this year to the toll gate pub. Im sure I seen kids in there last year. About 10 min walk from the ground. Decent craic last year. Apart from a few 'bad winners' from Leeds after the game

Not bothering with the city centre this year. Minibus from Cromwells at 2.30 after watchin Everton, straight toll gate, few beers,match, tollgate, back to Cromwells to celebrate/commiserate.......

Either way, should be a cracker of a day. Personally I think we will do, it hurt too much last year!!

Starting early doors. Will be at the City v Everton game at dinnertime, will head to town after for a couple of hours, then over to the Grand Final and hopefully back to town to celebrate afterwards!

Up stupidly early ..... run 'round like an excited puppy for a few hours until the missus screams "get out", loads of red bull & skittles, then hyper to OT for what will be the best Pie Dinner ever ......

Land at Manchester Airport just before mid-day. Will try to keep the alcohol consumption reasonable during the afternoon and then back to Warrington post-game, hopefully with plenty to celebrate.

Fly back lunchtime Sunday.

i think i might lock myself in a dark rook and come out when its all over.
