Off Topic In Manchester this weekend

[danvan86]

Hi, I'm a Hull City fan but am in Manchester this weekend for my stag do. I was wondering where would be best to go in the city centre to watch games? are there any good sports bars or pubs that show all the games? I know its a long shot but wouldn't mind finding somewhere that might have our game vs Palace on, If not anywhere that has reasonably priced beer and sky/BT will be fine.

Thanks in advance

You're on the wrong board if you want to know about Manchester. Wales or Devon and you'd have a chance.

Can't see anywhere showing Hull v Crystal Palace unless it's on Sky or BT. There's the usual stuff showing sports, Walkabout for instance, but as for ones that show unlicensed stuff I really don't know.

For the night and a stag do then I would think The Printworks is up your street, near to Victoria Station which you should arrive at from Hull, although it's ****e to be perfectly honest. Then there's the locks area down the bottom of Deansgate, some good bars there.

The Northern Quarter is the best place in town for a load of good pubs and bars but it's not a stag do place really. Then there's the Spinningfields area which, If I'm honest, is probably not stag do material either.

Can't see I've helped much but there you go.

It's a 3pm Saturday kick off, so I don't think anyone will be allowed to broadcast it live and it definitely won't be on Sky or BT. The better pubs almost certainly won't show it as they won't want to risk getting **** from Sky and the PL.

Your only option would be to look for a niche local boozer which is off the beaten track and might be showing a European channel. But even then, I'd expect those pubs to be showing the Burnley match as it's the relegation battle featuring the (relatively) local side.
