I have 2 friends arriving Mc Airport 9th April 10;20 - they are booked into the Premier Inn Reebok overnight Saturday and I will be finding the tickets for the game V west spam. They are looking forward to a good time and love the atmosphere of english pubs - but my personal distant recollections are from the 70:80's and the good times around The Trotters and Anchor Inn - so what can be recommended today?

near ground, bromilow

 

in town, man n scythe

Scotts Bar, 15 seconds walk from premier inn

Bit of a culture shift since them days my friend!

 

Hope you have an enjoyable trip.

My Amsterdam friends (Ajax and AZ Alkmaar fans) have noz adopted BWFC as their 2nd club. A great game, great goals, saves and great weather - they checked in the Premier Inn around 1200 and we spent the time from then in the sun at the Harvester - they were the guys drinking half pints (they have the belief that drinking halves keeps the beer colder for longer ! But I had them on pints when they realised you could not just walk up to the bar and get immediate service ----- cultures eh )

 

They spent Sat evening on Bradshawgate .......and survived that OK

 

Returned to Amsterdam via Manchester city centre on Sunday

 

They had a great time and it will become an annual event
