Is there anything particular going on in Manchester the weekend we play Everton (15 December)?
I was thinking about coming over, but the hotel prices are through the roof. Even the fucking Travelodge charges +100 quid per night.

304 quid for two nights. Fucking crazy. Think I'll go in January instead.

Could always stay just outside the centre and look at Airbnb?

Nah. I wan't hotel standard. And the prices are quite high outside of the immediate centre as well.
And I can go pretty much any time, so it's better to just choose another weekend.

Day tripper and tourist central time of year hotel prices go crazy in Manchester , they are quite expensive normally anyway . Funny enough im in Berlin the weekend before (8th) for the Christmas markets and superb beer and got a fantastic hotel in the heart of the tourist area (Mitte) for just 200 euro for 3 nights .

In Manchester I usually pay around 70 quid a night for motel one or slight less for Premier Inn, which I think is just about what that sort of accomodation is worth. Asking more than twice as much is just taking the piss. Not to mention Travelodge for 120 quid a night?!?!

That's a joke mate , piss poor accommodation aswell . Try out of the city center close to tram routes into the city center maybe ? Salford quays , Trafford Center etc . maybe worth a try pal ?

Cheers mate - much appreciated! Will look into it. I did check the Quays and similar, but that was still quite dear.

Diamond Lodge out on the Hyde Road isn't far from the ground. Short taxi ride.
I stayed there for the Madrid game a couple of years ago and it's fine.
It's showing two nights for €186 on Bookings.com at the moment, for a single adult.

I've stayed there as well and 186 euros is daylight robbery for that place!

I said it’s what it’s charging now not what I paid.
I’ve stayed in worse in the city centre TBH.
I think it was about 60-70 for two of us when I stayed.
