Just been looking at the uefa map of the Manchester city centre- anybody recommend where to go?

I'm staying in Warrington and then getting a taxi to a train/tram station to get into the city centre.

I fancy one of the fanzones and a wander about to soak up the day.

Allycoops- I take it you know the town well as you know some of the boozers? I only know to stay away from Canal St!

@JamesieM, Never been to manc before mate, just picking up info from my mates as to where to go. Bar 38 in Peter St, there is a big planned party there, hvae a read of this mate

fan bases are Albert square which is a very large courtyard style square in the city centre and Picaddilly Gardens which is basically a fairly big piece of grass. The screens will be put up here and there are many pubs less than 1 minute away from each. Picaddily is the main train station and this is where everyone taking the train will be arriving. Council have said there will be shuttle buses every 5 minutes taking match-ticket fans to city of manchester stadium from this station. If you havent a ticket then you want to be in the centre so if you get to picaddilly then you want to go downstairs from the trains to the Metrolink. Get on any Metro service and it will take you straight in to town just like the Glasgow sub! Bouncy Bouncy highly recommended on this service!! From the metrolink you can either get off at picaddily gardens stop where that screen is, or the St. Peters Square stop which is where Albert square screen is. Many of you getting the bus down will also be arriving at picaddily station. In this case just go upstairs and you're at the trains and metrolink. Everything is fairly well signposted so i doubt you will get lost.

The elegant Uefa Cup trophy will be a welcome addition to Rangers? priceless collection of silverware if they beat Zenit St Petersburg in the final. And the distinguished old vase certainly won?t lack for company among all the other riches accumulated by the world?s most successful football club.

?We have won a few trophies in our time,? Sandy Jardine, who works behind the scenes at the club he served so well as a full-back, said. Part of his role is to take care of the many hundreds of prizes and keepsakes Rangers have amassed down the years.

?I have no idea how many individual items we have collected since 1872,? he said. ?But I do know that the number keeps rising every year. We have so many that we can?t display them all at once. We have the major trophies on display all the time, but the others are rotated.

?Rangers? 51 national championships is a world record, and we have a commemorative painting that was presented to us for winning 100 major trophies. Real Madrid might run us close, but it?s true that Rangers have won more trophies than any other club.?

Rangers? treasure trove is displayed at Ibrox in the style of a museum, with cabinets devoted to different themes, such as European competition, the club?s centenary and domestic glories. There is also a separate section for crystal, and the fabled Blue Room is decorated by a mural featuring all Rangers? managers and the club?s great captains.

Among Jardine?s most prized exhibits is a collection of nine medals that represent significant chapters in the club?s history. The oldest dates from 1879, and was awarded to club founder, Peter Campbell, when the club began its tireless pursuit of honours with victory in the Glasgow Charity Cup.

Jardine is especially proud of one heirloom that has nothing to do with exploits on the pitch, and everything to do with simple humanity ? the Loving Cup. ?It was awarded by Stoke City to Rangers, after the club played a benefit match in aid of the families of miners killed in a colliery disaster in the Potteries,? he said. The venerable vessel is filled with an appropriate beverage before the first home game of each year, and the assembly will drink a toast to the Queen.

Jardine doesn?t busy himself with the silver polish, but a team of cleaners is charged with the never-ending task of keeping the haul of honours sparkling. ?It?s a big job but a pleasant one,? he said. ?We are proud of our history, and we?re delighted to share it. And we won?t be complaining if there are one or two new additions before the season is over.?
