train to Patricroft???

Not bad. Bit pointless for those of us who live Weaste/Langworthy/Ordsall way though.

all you have to do is get the cadishead 67 from eccles and it drops you outside the stadium

Thinking traffic lad. Buses aren't a problem. I can get the M10 or 110 from right near my house.

67 or 100 from Hope to Eccles for me, a few lively slurps in The Lamb/Wetherspoons/Nags Head/Oddies/Top House/Old Bulls Head/Duke of York/Albert Edward/Town Hall then 67 to the Grapes onto the Unicorn and then stagger (If still capable of standing) to the ground, just a thought

Would a train from Manchester to Irlam be a reasonable choice, followed by a bus through Irlam to the ground?

To those that drive: what's it going to be like getting a bus down there at rush hour?

that's why I thought train to Patricroft then walk (via the Packet) to the ground - roads are gonna be bad !!!!

Struck me as a good idea for Eccles to get involved in this as there is a pathway from the clubhouse under the motorway that would cut a chunk of the journey out and if they got enout people supping in the bar could really help bump the coppers up.

There's a few buses from Eccles that can get you there so I think personally Weathers in Eccles and a bus ride down through Patricroft.

Surely you are all going to make your way down to the ground early doors and partake of the overpriced p155 that will masquerade as beer at the Stadium Bar for the benefit of the whatever company ( probably EMC ) the council sell the concession rights to ?
