Next season i intend to take the plunge and finally get a seasoncard. So before i do i wanted to ask a few questions of those who know.
1. Where is the best place to sit, for atmosphere, singing, friendly banter, ect.

I live down south, now my mate reckons i could easily drive up to manchester in 3 hours in the early morning before the game, that said i live 5 minutes from stansted airport so i could fly and taxi to the stadium, which do you guys reckon would be best, does anyone already do something along those lines.

depends on the cash mate, taxi to the stadium would be about 15/20 notes. driving is much cheaper but the M6 is an ARSEBlue Blood wrote:3. Where should i avoid sitting in the stadium.
Family stand at all costs, no atmosphere. I sat there for 3 years and hated it!Blue Blood wrote:4. Finally where can a get a good pint before the match.

You must ave pots o dough mate:o)
I think that you can get the train now from Ringway to Piccadilly. Be about 100 times cheaper than taxis but if you've got loadsa dough, it shouldn't matter.
The Townley is the local battle cruiser for a pint before kick off.

If there are two of you, expect to be sitting in one of the more expensive seats, devoid of atmosphere.
If you want a pair of adult tickets, the club allow existing ST holders to transfer first. You wont get 2 together in the popular blocks, but you might get 1 if your going on your own

I nicked this off google.
So i'm thinking south stand just behind the goal would be ideal. How is the view from the corners btw?

Was goin to get one this season but work was low so thought I best give it a miss. Plus, train is always the best option rather than driving.Can be energy sapping watching City at times and sitting back relaxing on the train is on the cards rather than a long drive home. Plus, I hate being cooped up in a car for ages.
Maybe have a dabble on nationrail.co.uk and type in some journey times and see what comes up? Changes, cost, train times there and back. Its actually pretty good for me. Got one for the liverpool game for £29 return and that straight through there and back! Usually costs about £45 return though but can sometimes get them cheaper if you book in advance. Id actually be interested in seein the prices you get though :-/

Good call this. Surely train is better and definately less strenuous. Probably a lot cheaper than car as well.
Dazzacity wrote:I done a rough search for a 3pm Sat ko..Not too bad tbf
You could train a few games and drive a few depending on what you fancy.
And to give you an idea of gettin cheaper tickets when bookin in advance..Save yaself about £30!!
edit;-Think the links were playin up. have a look though. There was plenty of trains and seemed to be about £70 return but found it for £42 if ya book a couple of weeks in advance.
