Anyone been to suggest it`s worth a mooch?

Yeah really enjoyed when you get past the fact it has far too much dmb Shit in. The rest is good. A few decent bits of wanderers stuff. Main highlight was the person in front of us kept poking the 'going to the match' painting without a care in the world. Couldn't believe it.

They can fuck off.

I like going in Manchester, it's great, but their footballing history goes back not much further than some ex boyfriends of mine.

Highlight for me was a kid in a Liverpool shirt crying his eyes out when I went in.. I couldn't believe the accuracy and realism of the exhibit.. the rest is worth seeing as well

Are you sure he wasn't one of the exhibits? Next to the ManU fan in the armchair and the City fan in a shirt with the price label still attached.

went when it was in Preston, it's excellent and free if i remember correctly.

 

there was a penalty game on the top floor that you had to pay for, so wear trainers if you fancy a dabble.

But are you sure?

1892?

she does like her silver foxes

I went in on the opening day, I thought Id posted about it on here but must have been somewhere else. I enjoyed my visit, some really interesting features and exhibits - mixed in with some really shitty ones to be fair, it is horrible to see and hear grown men in the MOTD commentary box trying to commentate on Gerrard scoring in the cup final, jesus.

 

The interactive floor is okay, when I went in on opening day all this was free but its usually £9 to take penalties against a wall and practice passing! But, I didnt take a penalty as it was full of little Diddles everywhere, dressed and acting as if they are Premier League footballers, complete with necklaces, bracelets, brightly coloured boots and Ronaldo-esque poses. Disgrace.

 

My favourite bit was on the top floor where the photographic exhibition is, some really brilliant photos from all aspects of football - my favourite was one taken outside the Baseball Ground in the terraced streets covered in mist and fog at night, superb. Ill try and find it.

 

All in all, worth a visit. Very polished and glamourised view of football I must admit (the hooliganism bit stops at 1989 as if all was well after that) but check it out if youre in the area!

Heres that photo from outside the Baseball Ground, love seeing things like this

Why did they move it?

Surely they were winning stuff prior to 1947

Why did they move it?

bigger building

increased footfall
