September 8, 200916 yr that Travelodge is NW direction from Piccadilly http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&source=hp&q=manchester%20central%20travelodge&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl As far as I am aware the trams are still not running in the city centre so you will either have to travel by foot (~15 mins walk) or taxi :) Cheers Ian :) I will walk it I think, climbing Mt Fuji all those years ago should have given me strong enough legs to hot-foot it to Travelodge :P
September 8, 200916 yr careful, Travelodge's are dangerous, cheap, nasty places :P I'll take my Mt Fuji climbing stick then. It has emblems burnt into it by ninjas. And bells on the top (secured by rather nifty red ribbon). Let's see them try to give me grief then! HA!
September 9, 200916 yr this may sound extremely stupid, and, well it is, but anyway, what are the crowds like at coldplay concerts ? any chance someone could turn up at 7pm and make his way to the front where his mates are whove been queing since 3pm? haha
September 9, 200916 yr Me and two mates are stopping over the night after the event, which i cant wait for, but since we are from newcastle we are going to wait around on sunday for the match (newcastle/cardiff) showing on tv. anyone know of any good pubs to watch it in? By the way, I tried getting "And it was all yellow" on the back of a newcastle away shirt for saturday :P but my student loans come in a bit too late... i wanted chris to say something about it lol

There are so many TV screens in there its untrue
September 9, 200916 yr View from 7th floor window looking towards Lancashire Cricket Club at Old Trafford just now :cool4:
September 9, 200916 yr Yep :cool: Another one taken from inside the Brian Statham Way entrance (Jonny side, for those lovers), the gates were open so I just walked in :laugh3:
September 9, 200916 yr It's really real now :dance: I tried to access the entrance on Great Stone Road but there was event security. Couldn't see whether it was closer to the stage or not, but Brian Statham Way looked far easier access to the stage :)

September 9, 200916 yr yes there are two entrances according to the Coldplay concert guide at http://www.lccc.co.uk/index.php?p=news&id=3173 "There are two entry points into the venue, Great Stone Road and Brian Statham Way." I have printed around 10 copies out at work of the ground plan and will bring them on Friday. I took the photo from Entrance 3 on the map: http://www.lccc.co.uk/download/2009Old_Trafford_Ground_Plan.pdf

September 9, 200916 yr :D And here is the latest photo from the weather station, the stage is to the right and I took my photo from under the pavillion at the back right of the picture, next to where the tiny land rover is parked under the building
