Does anyone know if there are going to be any big screens showing the World Cup matches in Manchester City Centre on Saturday?

If there are screens, will there be beer served?

Cheers

No Idea but there is a massive screen in Schloß Platz in the centre of Stuttgart and the Wine fest starts on saturday aswell

Massive screen floating on the River Main in Frankfurt too, thats where I'll be going tomorrow morning

There is a massive LCD tv hanging on the wall outside the Triangle shopping centre (look for the manchester version of the millenium wheel) everyone should be there

According to this (bottom of page)

There will be a screen in Manchester's Exchange Square.

Exchange Square is the one Im talking about outside the triangle, fairly easy to find, right outside the entrance to the Arndale

Floating Screen eh?

Hope the river isn't choppy

They've already got the flags out in front of my local and I shall be wearing an England top

davegtt

floating, thats what I read in numerous places. I aint fussed, the screen bobbing up and down will probably counteract from my eye sight after the large quantities of alcohol thats going to be consumed

Heard that the English fans are only being served low alcohol level lager WTF.

LOL @ Karl

Dave just don't speak English to the barman then

I reckon I should dig out my Costa Rica shirt for friday

davegtt

Thats a good idea, maybe I should approach asking for my beer whilst burning my england shirt, think they'd give me full strength lager then

Good idea, might buy one of them just for the fun of it.

No mate just get yourself a pair of Leather shorts and knee length socks and garters, don't forget the hat with the feather in it or they will see through your disguise

You could always order a Carlesburg and drink it like John Mills in Ice Cold in Alice.

Who the **** is Alice?

or do you mean Alex ?????

davegtt

Thanks for the tips. Do I do the goose walk or should that be avoided.

Karl 227

If you watch the opening game and Germany go a goal down, go up to the barman and say "for you sir, ze game is over"

I dare you

Well that all depends how quickly you want to get to the bar

You could stomp on the odd peasent with your Jack boots if they get in the way

A'K

I've heard no beer allowed where the big screen is, but there is a pub in the corner but its not in view to the big screen... but ya can always try and sneak one out

3times

I'm fluing out friday morning..................................no big screen for me though.............................got a ticket.

davegtt

LOL @ Karl, I'll dismiss that although if I was dared after a few beverages I probably would

None of you guys anywhere near Frankfurt or Nurnberg then?

Karl 227

Are you a chimney sweep?

Karl 227

Thankfully, no

davegtt

AK, the pub has quite an open beer garden, cant see it a problem grabbing a beer and taking it onto the street but should imagine there would be a fairly heavy police presence who might stop you.

3times, jammy bassa. No spare ones going then?

Steve vRS

DOHH!!

I am 200k west of Nurnberg and 200k south of Frankfurt the 3rd point in a triangle if you look at the map.

And to be honest I am glad I am nowhere near any England fans, I have to live here and don't fancy being arrested and deported

I have heard that the official beer is American Gnats **** called Budweiser so that might be what the krauts are going to serve the brits No self respecting Herman would be seen dead drinking that pish

A'K

and bounces on the gates of the entance for sure..

Steve vRS

No beer. I'll have to decide between :-

a. the good atmosphere and the sun
b. crowded hot boozer with a cold beer.

Hmmm

Steve

davegtt

Cant stand Bud, maybe a trip to the supermarket is in order before the match, sit on the river banks (if theres space - Yeah right ) with a crate of some decent stuff

p.s. Stuttgart?

Karl 227

Dave, have you had your measles jab?

davegtt

lol... you cant catch it once you've already had it can you?
