Question for any Manc-familiar B3tans.
Going to a wedding at Salford Cathedral tomorrow. Hotel and reception are also in M3. How far is that from Old Trafford?

The M3 goes towards Hampshire
That's fucking miles away from Old Trafford but you will see lots of Man Utd tops there.

Hope this helps

He's not coming to fucking Hampshire.
We don't take kindly to his sort down there.

If only there were some way of using the internet to show you a map
of where you are staying, and where Old Trafford is.

Dream your crazy dreams elsewhere, future boy.

2.7 miles drive

Cheers fella
What I really want to know is; how likely is it that our weekend will be ruined by straying, belligerent Stevenage/Torquay/Huddersfield/Peterborough fans?

If you're driving to Old Trafford I recommend parking at the Lowry Outlet Mall
It's got indoor secure parking and it's free for the first four hours if you get your ticket validated (there's a newsagents in there so that wont cost you much). It's a five minute walk from OT.

Plus in Manchester the 'secure' part of the parking is very important.
When my brother used to squat in 'The Crescents' in Hulme we had to park fucking miles away because nowhere had CCTV in the area.

Blimey, a google image search of 'The Crescents, Hulme' does not paint a pretty picture
(Until you scroll down far enough to get to the picture of 'curried goat')

It was really fucking scary.

Appreciate the in-depth assistance sir
However I'm actually keen to avoid Old Trafford and all the people going to it. Partly because of the intense pain associated with the words "play-off final" and partly because they might be ruffians.

Ah, I see
You'll not be sticking around for the victory parade on the Monday then I take it?
( Bill Clay a.k.a. Claudio, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:23, Reply)

Odd that they've scheduled a victory parade for two days after the most humiliating defeat of their season
But no.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:25, Reply)

Nonexistent, I'd say.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:22, Reply)

Triffic. Appreciate it
How far is Manc Piccadilly from Oxford Road? Our hotel's right near the latter but have a feeling our train tickets might only take us to the former.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:24, Reply)

about a ten minute walk or a five minute bus ride

(Bazongaloid, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:26, Reply)

See? You don't need Google Maps when you've got INTERNET PALS.
Cheers Al

Oxford Road is full of student cunts.
Or was when I went there.
