It's £260 for a room for 2 nights, however as there are 3 of them they therefore require 2 rooms for 2 nights. Therefore doubling the cost, if I haven't read it wrong?

Whatever the case, if the train fares are as cheap as you state, I'd take your option and go home for the night (though there is the danger I'd fall asleep on the train and wake up in Goole, or wherever the thing ends. I've got form).

Heap the above is correct. I may just break in somewhere and claim squatters rights!!

Have you tried laterooms?

Doesn't anywhere do a triple room?

Couldnt you take a sleeping bag and have 3 people in 1 room??

Or just do an all-nighter and spend the room money on beer?

geez I could stagger home from manchester to my bed and get there for the next days match

You could always lob a brick through Fergys office window and get free board for the night in Chester Road nick

ETAP hotels used to be really cheap and could fit 3 in (double and a bunk)

thats where we booked etap salford quays

Don't say I never do owt for you,Travelodge central,right at side of the MEN,£136 for two nights,(sat and sunday)3 people in a room,costs you,£45 each.
