The Manchester Experience Thread

[Andygers]

This is simply to tell us if you are going to Manchester and where you will be staying, how you will get there, how long you will be staying there and afterwards what it was like.

For me so far we are trying to book in Blackpool, we will be taking the train (unless the local supporters bus is going down), I unfortunately don't have a ticket (yet) but if I don't get one it will still be a great occasion.

So if you are going, how is your planning going??

[Andygers]

Looks like its going to be a train journey for me and the old man down, Can't bloddy wait theres actually going to be the biggest absences in my school for ages, with all the bears heading down!!!

[Andygers]

Lol it turns out I might be driving down and if thats the case then we will leave at 6 am...

[Vic]

Don't drive drunk Andy! ;)

[Andygers]

LOL!! :lol:

If I were to drive i would crash and get stopped after 2 minutes because I am only 14!!

I will tell my dad to stay off the strong stuff though ;).

[Vic]

Haha just fooling around man :D

Any reports on how many Rangers fans it will be in Manchester?

[Andygers]

Any reports on how many Rangers fans it will be in Manchester? Theres going to be around 200,000-250,000 Rangers fans in Manchester and if people from over seas travel then there will be about 400,000.

[Andygers]

Sounds a good idea but I will be wearing my good old Rangers top on that day :D

[Vic]

I don't have a ticket and if they open up Old Trafford I will go there (unless I somehow get a ticket).

6 hours in a car from Glasgow to Manchester? Are you going via Aberdeen? I could do it 6 hours on a skateboard! :lol: Lol you laughed at me but the Rangers supporters chief said because of all the traffic on the road that it could take up to 6 hours!! So there :p

Anyway I had a change of plan again, I am definately taking the car so that should be fun lol. Can't wait for this!!

I was at school expecting a usual miserable school day but at 10:30 I got a note saying that im going to Manchester. I was so happy hearing that I would be going.

On the 3 and a half hour drive I saw loads of cars with Rangers flags and scarfs. I knew we were going on the right direction.

Once we got to Manchester we headed to the Piccadilly Fanzone and we enjoyed the atmospere.

At 7:00 the big Tele had cut off but none of us were that bothered.

But 10 minutes before kick off, everyone was angry and they started shouting at the tele.

Then 5 minutes after kick off, bottles and cans were tossed at the tele and we had to escape the fanzone.

We drove away to a hotel and we watched the last 30 minutes of the game.

Im very disapointed hearing what happened before and after the match. Hopefully these idiots that get caught will be banned forever.

P.S Sorry for not posting in the past few weeks
