I'm coming over from Ireland for the Villa game with my 9 year old lad and am looking for advice please.
I'm looking at airbnb places in Whitworth Locke, Ancoats and Beswick. Are any of these areas to be avoided? And does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere reasonable to stay? It will be for the night before the game, 3rd April.
Also, I'm looking to soak up the whole City experience (I rarely get over) and want to see the team bus arriving before the game hopefully. Can anyone advise how to arrange this, do you just rock up to City ground at a certain time? Also, are there any other City activities we can do on the Wednesday of the game.

I nearly bought us tickets for the Burnley match (£200 for me, wife and 2 kids barely out of nappies, that's fucking minging, do better City) but knocked it on the head as I didn't have a clue what to do about the car.
If we end up at a night match, I need to make sure we're all back in the car asap after full time as they'll be knackered. Is there official stadium parking, and how do I go about it?

Under 5s are free mate. My daughter is nearly 6 and I walked in with her for free the other week.

Serious? I was on the ticket portal, had it all lined up, and they wanted £200 from me. I've got the kids registered as citizens so the club know their age. The fuck did I do wrong?

I edit the owner, so it's his name, and his price is 27.50 as he's under 18. No sign of anything about under 5s. Also get a warning saying he is assigned too many tickets.
I fucking long for the days of pay on the gate. So many fucking hoops to jump through just to watch some football.
Edit: ah, didn't realise that about just walking in with them. Still, I want to buy him a seat, what's this warning about? I can buy two tickets in my name it seems, but it won't let me buy one for me and one for him.

Possible that you've got enough points for 2 tickets or a Cityzens membership that allows 2 tickets but he hasn't. I seem to remember I had this with my daughter, I could buy 2 tickets but couldn't buy one in each of our names.
