The 3pm rule is necessary as if United were on the TV places like the Etihad would be even more deserted.

Looking for the answers...
I think it's a brilliant rule tbf. If you wanna watch it, get yourself down to the game or nowadays it is easy to stream it. But it allows lower league clubs to keep going so I'm all for how it is.
Encouraging attendance I agree withbut you then kill that argument with streaming. Fact is only a number of people can get tickets.

When overseas fans can watch more united games than uk fans on tv that’s just ridiculous.

The Courtyard... the place of £2 and £3 cocktails fuelling many a lascivious night out.

Don't judge :D

This is very much off topic but I am a bit desperate.

Long story short, I am life long fan who is visiting Manchester for a conference this week. Sadly no games on while i am in town, but I wanted to visit OT and the museum - unfortunately I am only free on Tuesday afternoon, and for some reason Tuesday is totally sold out to visit the stadium and the museum :(

Could any people suggest alternative things I could do to feed my fandom?

Many thanks! Apologies for being off topic again!

Not just for United but you could go to the national football museum.

I nipped in Mulligan's on Saturday and was surprised to see it not on. Spoke to a guy in there who mentioned a certain Irish bar on the corner of Princess Street, I also watched the PSG game in a little pub in China Town that's mentioned earlier in this thread, noticed the channel was certainly not BT so that could be a good shout. Message me for names if I'm talking in riddles

The tours may be sold-out, but you could still visit the museum. You never know, there may even be drop-outs or extra places for the tour when you get there.

Like Nicky said though, the National Football Museum is also worth a visit, as there's plenty of United stuff to see there.

Didn't want to make a new thread but couldn't find anything searching on here.

Does anybody know pubs in central Manchester that show 3pm kick offs? I'm sure I've seen some posted before.

Know loads in the Didsbury area that show it but I'm in central Manchester on Saturday.

Cheers
Where did you watch it mate?

Still worth a visit to the ground even from outside - walk the whole way around to see the iconic statues, Munich Memorial Tunnel, clock, megastore etc

I started this thread in 2013 mate! But watched it in Tibb Street Tavern back then, no idea if they still show them. Not watched a 3pm in city centre for years now but know quite a few in the Didsbury / Heaton Moor area

Anyone have any idea of anywhere showing the Villa game tomorrow? Tricky one as it’s same time as Chelsea - City….

Don't want to bump an old thread but maybe keeping the few nuggets of info in one place isn't the worst thing.

For the first time in years I need to see a 3pm game in town, does anyone have any updates on the likes of:

The courtyard
the grapes
the burton arms hotel
the lass O gowry
Mulligans?

I've also been in O'Sheas before for a 3 o'clocker.

Any up-to-date hints would be fantastic.

Probs not best publishing it openly. I haven't been a 3pm in Manchester in ages - get down early and someone will know the deal I'm sure!

I don't think many places do it anymore, certainly not openly like they used to, since pubs have been prosecuted for showing them

If you find anywhere then best to keep it in the General

Fair's fair. Mods seal this baby in concrete if you need to.

I don't think the Grapes even has a TV in there anymore, but I may be wrong.

Burton arms is now the rose and monkey, and they only have BT Sports.

Probably too risky for most pubs these days.
