I live in Manchester so I'll be there right after work!
If everyones meeting somewhere I would suggest the Wetherspoons (I forget its name) just off Portland Street/Chepstow Street. They always keep open for games as theres one near Man Utd's ground where I work and they're always packed.
Besides which its literally a 2 minutes walk from there to Albert Square where they've confirmed they're erecting screens for the Gers fans!
I will say that Picadilly Gardens is going to be virtually off limit for us as it's reserved for Zenit fans, with the exception of people piling off the buses.
If all the RM users are to meet, let me know where! I'll be hitting town around 6pm and I'd love to meet some of you guys and enjoy watching our boys kick some european ass.
For people getting off at Manchester Airport. You can get 43 ( http://www.stagecoachbus.com/timetables/Se...pt07%5B1%5D.pdf ) or the 105 ( http://www.stagecoachbus.com/timetables/Se...0530March08.pdf ). These are links showing the timetables and are both the most direct buses from the Airport to Manchester Picadilly Gardens.
Alternatively you can get 11, 101 to Civic Centre (the next major bus terminal you find) and from there you can get the 11, 104 or the 101. But theres a travelshop for more information and all the buses are usually clearly marked. Just make sure you board any of these numbers marked "Manchester Picadilly" or "Picadilly Gardens"
For people getting off at Picadilly Station, just walk straight down station approach, all the way down to the gardens, don't make a turn and just follow the road right down until you see places like "Billie Rocks" and "Yates". Then you're on the right track, keep following it down until you see a McDonalds ahead of you at a large crossroad, take a right and again follow the road until you get to Albert Square. This is the Town Hall area.
