If we were at home 100% we’d be on
lets face it it’s as good a cert Man Utd will win , therefore a competitive match wins over a walkover .
I think they had Man Utd v Leeds on when Leeds were 3rd tier but that has history and Leeds were a decent side .
Have Man Utd been on at home against a team as low as 18th in the third tier before , I’d say more often not on telly than on
Burnley is localish to Man Utd and they’re top of the second tier .
we are still a dull team to the rest of the world who will more than likely be beaten easily .
no excuses now , fuck school off and let’s be having ya
if they chose Man Utd v Cheltenham /Accrington I’d not be rushing to watch it …unless it’s 0-0 after the first half !!2 -
Will be on a stream somewhere but yeah annoying isn't it? Especially as we are gonna win this again on pens 😉 happy Christmas lifers 🎄0

Because that is what we do!Peakey4Rocket said:United are selling tickets already and date of the Tuesday is on them. Why can CAFC not announce the date at least.0 -
If I get off at Stoke can you pick me up? Also stay round yours to save on the hotel cost.RedChaser said:

Man U v Colchester also in the Carabao was shown live on Sky a few years ago.killerandflash said:
A second string Man U team at home to a poor L1 side is hardly going to be an enticing spectacle for the neutral.se9addick said:
“best” is pretty subjective. Hard to put myself in the shoes of a neutral but I think I’d rather see our match than matches between teams that will already play each other twice in the league this season.killerandflash said:Bizarrely Sky have chosen the best two games, instead of defaulting to Man U.
Would you watch Man U Vs Shrewsbury or Oxford?0 -

Liverpool had a weakened team cos of World Club trophy waffle
Colchester were 9th in league two , 61 places below Man Utd and took just under 5.3k there in a crowd of 57.5k
Man Utd scored 51,56 & 61 mins1 -

I won’t be there I’ll be meeting up with number one son and staying over after the match. Anyway @bobmunro would have been your best bet (it’s the way I tell em) because he lives in a stately home with servants except he’s booked a hotel as well 😉.ElfsborgAddick said:

Hotel booked so just a match ticket to get.
I just hope I get one.
I remember arriving about 6am to get a decent place in the queue for Liverpool tickets and there was no-one there. I felt like such an idiot.
I think I was there for a couple of hours before anyone else arrived.
Happy days.1 -
Ive also got hotel booked ........ liekwise ust need the tickets0

2 1/2 weeks before the match is played, but once you take out Christmas AND the horrendous post backlog, I'm not sure posting out the tickets can be relied on2

We were at home for that game. Which wasn't on TV eitherCardinal Sin said:

Absolutely love to know how many flexible rate rooms we have booked up!

10th is favourite. Spent quite a lot of time in Manchester in the late 80s, based at Granada TV, staying at the Britannia hotel, covering the region for ITV News. Not sure it’s still there, but the Britannia was the hotel of choice for some, mainly because of the bar, and the fact that bands and celebs used to stay there (for the same reason possibly). It was a bit rock 'n roll. There was also a wild disco in the basement, for the single members of the team.DOUCHER said:
so is Deansgate the area to go? This has a group stopover boozy jamboree written all over it - 'cheap hotel near deansgate, manchester' about to go in the search engine. what date do we think it's|gonna be? 11th Jan ?JamesSeed said:
Deansgate I think.Oh Eddie Youds... said:
We don’t need another embarrassing ‘Operation Ewood / Riverside’.Airman Brown said:
Club has discretion to take less though. Nobody down there will have any idea of what we’ll want. They also have no experience at all of running a big away travel operation.Callumcafc said:
League Cup rules state that the home team must give at least 10% of capacity to the away support.J BLOCK said:How much will they give us do we know?
So 7400 tickets available minimum.
Just get on a train or get in a car & get yourself up the M6.
if you get there early have a few beers in Dean Street..
It really isn’t hard. We’re big boys now & the club shouldn’t have to hold our hand & ‘make sure we get there ok’. Their job is to focus on what happens on the pitch.
But Deansgate is still the best street for bars I believe. Dry bar was just round the corner, and that’s where the trendies hung out. It was under the same ownership as the Haçienda.
Manchester is a nice walkable size.
Edit: Looks like the Britannia's come down in the world. Room available for £35 !? Not that it was every very flashy.
Stayed at a few other hotels as well, but the only ones I remember were the Midland (pretty nice room from memory), and the Ramada, which may be called something else now.
Have made two bookings, one for the 10th, and one for the 11th. The key thing now if remembering to cancel the one I don't need :-)2 -

I think the a new hotel is opening in 2023 (not early enough for us) at the former Granada TV Studios. Called Mollies Motel. Sounds horrendous but owned by the soho hotel group. Have stayed in the one in Bristol.JamesSeed said:

Booked hotel for 2 nights and will reduce to 1 when date confirmed. Last time I stayed up there was for that late ko against Rochdale a few seasons ago0

So it seems like lots of hotels booked already - just need to sort out meeting places for lifers in and around Deansgate.We are planning an all-dayer - early train, we'll drop the bags at the hotel , and then on it! Then crawl back on the Wednesday and 'work from home' (that one's for Chippy!).4

Almost as many as Lifers booked at that Belgian hotel ...AFKABartram said:Absolutely love to know how many flexible rate rooms we have booked up!4 -
Anyone booked Salford quays Ibis?0

Just floated the idea to my wife of booking a hotel for myself in Manchester and was reminded that I refused to book one for us in London next year. 😬

The Brittania was very iffy when I stayed there a few years ago.0

Yeah, I made that mistake for a hotel in Paris for the euros in 2016. Booked a ‘just in case’ room for 6 of us and forgot to cancel. Done me for over £500 😫🤦♂️JamesSeed said:
