As far as the crowd count goes, don't forget that in Edinburgh and Cardiff, a lot of fans were there for the whole weekend. At Manchester there seemed to be a lot of folks just there on the day of their team. Given that fact, the attendance seemed ok to me, at least something to build on.

I have been to all bar last years stupid winter one. I did enjoy going to the Sunday games, but did not do the Saturday ones as I did not fancy spending a weekend in Manchester.
My own preference would be Cardiff as we spent a couple of weekends down there and took in both days.
For the slight increase in attendance figures approx 1000 over one of the Cardiff weekends, it is not spreading the word to new recruits in Manchester but it would be in Cardiff.

I got a great tan- cheaper than a fortnight in Spain!

Personally I liked it- a fabulous stadium great atmosphere quite a long walk though. The sport village thing is great we travelled in each day and went home -bonus.

It was a good day out spoilt by me being pretty hungover from my Wembley experience the day before but this got sorted after my first couple of pints.

I recommend anyone who didn't go this season to go next. It's a cracking idea in a good city with plenty of places to eat, drink and socialise with other supporters you don't usually get the chance to mix with all in one place.

Having been to both edinburgh ones and the Manchester one, Manchester seemed to be far more filled up! Though I've not seen any attendance figures! Cardiff on the telly reminded me of Edinburgh where more were inclined to spend time in the cities than in the ground despite what the attendances were, probably because those attending were there for the city break and would not normally go to those cities, if it wasn't for the Rugby! But to say Tickets were in very short supply how some on here say it wasn't a success seems a strange one! I've read on here that some had wanted to go but stayed at home due to not being able to get tickets!

I quite liked this weekend yes the stadium isn't placed conveniently near the City centre, not many are nowadays, but given that the tramlink will soon be open access could be better if they kept it there next season. One drawback with the access was that despite the MCFC website telling us it was a pleasant 20 min walk and clearly signposted it certainly wasn't with many in Piccadilly Gardens asking where to go.

But yeah the whole magic experience is quite unique getting off the train with loads of different clubs represented and no intimidation that you sometimes get with rival football teams, it's great!!

One gripe though was that we'd been forewarned over food and drink not being allowed in the stadium unless for medical purposes, and at my turnstile they did in fact check for food and drink, yet on such a scorcher they were selling 330ml bottle of water for £2 inside and out!!! Could water not be construed on a hot day as medical?? Yet I had mine taken from me!

ive been to every one so far and enjoyed every one for different reasons, this time was the first time i only went on our game day and have got to say found the buzz around the stadium the best yet, now wether that was to do with the great weather or not not sure may have felt different on a usual rainy manc day. For me we need to keep it there for the next few years and give it chance to grow, i actually liked cardiff the best, but would quite happily go to the eithad again, didnt think the walk was that bad to be honest, my only real gripe was the train home not stopping in huddersfield, didnt fancy bus from victoria, so went to dewsbury and got taxi home.

Try 1 litre of water and 9 pints of lager - it worked for me. Although I was in the shade.
