Anyone know what time the club coach should be planning to arrive? Not many pubs near the stadium, wondering what time to venture out will be

If they get there an hour before you’ll find a boozer within ten minutes walk.

Nope, Railway , beer is sh*te, best pub, is George & Dragon, just down from station and then Taxi or walk 20 minutes.
Been to them all today, trust me.

Hopefully concourse is reasonably priced in that case - money going to a non-league club too. And hopefully the rain yields for the uncovered away end

Open end, not sure it'll have a concourse exactly?

 

[malkay]

Yes, we'll be in the terrace behind the goal.

Looks like there's a small area behind/beneath which will act as a concourse, that black structure will probably sell the booze and there will likely be stewards by those stairs up to the terrace, making sure we don't smuggle any in - at their level (and below) you're allowed to drink alcohol pitchside but not in the cup.

Concourse

Forgot the nature of the ground we're going to! Signs we are a big club forum

Yeah, didn’t mean to be demeaning to Macc as they’ve done brilliant to rebuild after liquidation. Just made me chuckle imaging what you were expecting.

Not allowed to drink alchohol pitch side in the cup? Are we ok with bottles then?

No bottles either

You might get away with one of these though if you've got a pretty face

Don't think that affects us going from Euston to Macclesfied right? We're off the train before we get to Stockport

This happened on Saturday too and took about 2-3 hours to sort itself out especially if you're on London NorthWestern (Avanti were better)

 

[Sheerwater Bee]

Just left. Idiots caught apparently

 

[DizzeeRascal]

So we all a bit f***ed now then? no trains leaving Euston at the moment

Feeling smug about having been on the 7:30am train from Euston to Stockport now.

Now left station 16 mins late, arr Macc 17:00
