Torquay United Fans Forum

Had to feel sorry for the girls dishing out the tickets today. The credit card machine shares the phone line with the phone. Only one or the other can be in use. Hence they just never answered the phone or if they did to free up the phone line they put it straight down. Even then it was about 5 minutes per transaction. If you tried rining today from what i saw would be amazed if you got through. My advice if looking to get tickets take cash then you get straight to the front of the queue

Was in Manchester for the game yesterday stood in the Trafford so can definetly confirm its open. Bishop Blaize is pretty close to the trafford. The trafford on a Man U matchday is excellent. Plenty of singing on always seem to makie room to meet demand. If you got youngsters tho it can be a bit claustrophobic for em. There are few places down by the quay, there is a couple of pubs by the Lowry which have outside seating areas as well as inside and somewhere to eat. To be fair there are enough boozers around for everyone to get a drink .

Seen the toll gate mentioned elsewhere and that is good but a bit of a walk away.

Parking wise there are plenty of official car parks numbered either N1 ..N4 or W1... W4. What happens on man u matchdays is you get independent security firms running their own parking facilities (quite often these are kids who look after your car for a fiver, seriously), wether there is enough business for them to be out on saturday i doubt.
