They'll stop at Trafford Park though. Sometimes.

It's easy enough to get from town to the ground anyway by bus or tram to Exchange Quay, Pamona, Trafford Bar or Old Trafford.

2pm mate

Trains from Central station or Padgate or Birchwood are generally fine on GF day, but are busy. That will therefore increase tenfold if we get through.

Another option is, bus into Alty and then a tram to Old Trafford or Manchester town centre.

Trafford Park station is about 1 1/2 miles from OT. It cost £6.80 return to central. There is only one train back to Warrington after the game finishes and that at 11.27pm....(there is one at 9.51pm but that will be a very quick get away on the final whistle).

Drive. It's very easy to find parking if you get there early enough.

Being the pi$$ed up loud mouths you all are, bring the Mrs along and have her drive you home. Park on the industrial parks just off the motorway/behind Lowry. Best walk back to a car in history if you win. Kind of wet, dark and depressing when you lose.

The game will be over for around 7:40pm.

Stevo, where will the drop off and pick up be?

Could you run at least one bus a bit earlier (say 1pm) and get it to drop off in Manny centre for the Drinkies but pick up after the game at Old Trafford? I say this because from memory there is almost nowhere decent near O/T for a drink and I would like to have some drinks in Manchester centre make my own way to the stadium and then get picked up outside O/T.

All of the above is subject to 'IF' we get to the final.

Why would anyone be getting a bus from Warrington at 2pm when every Wetherspoons in Manchester will be serving ale from 9am onwards?

Get the 8.13am from Central you gang of tarts.

9am is a bit early I'll be shadow boxing by 11am and full on wind-milling by 1pm.
