You have to pay to get into Platts and the queue for the bar is a nightmare.
We end up in the Toll because it's got cover for the smokers. Personally I'm up for a coup - Quadrant please!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

The quads handy for us but a treck for the rest.
So I am coming into town this week but will not be able to pick up my tickets til just before the game. Any caftards here thinking they might be at the Blaize and could help get me and my mate in? I don't expect this to work but thought i would ask. Thank you for the consideration and if by chance anyone could help me please just PM me.
I got one of those when pissed once, truly awful
I really wanted to go, before the match against Villa in April - but my mates and I did not have ID -, so they declined and did not let us in. 
At one point they were playing them on the way home on he coach.
I invested in an ipod.
went in tollgate briefly before the derby, looked a good place. quiet!
Went there before the Wolves match, I liked it. Me and Dad will probably go in before the match in March (Liverpool match). We ended up going over to the Trafford Bar for another drink, but didn't like that as much as the Blaize TBH.
Was in it last Wednesday night, its dead on
I wish I was 18
Oh well cans on the street for Boothy

Tollgate's good. There's a bit of atmosphere in there, but it's not as crammed as the Blaize, and a nicer pub than the Trafford. They also have a good and fairly cheap outdoor grill thing.
I quite like the Blaize, but if I'm going in I tend to have quite a few and have a good singsong. Tollgate's good for a quiet pint or two before the game.
Used to go to the Quad quite a lot as it's handy for me, but it's not particularly great, and tends to have quite a lot of away fans in for some games. The setup outside is quite nice though, when the weather is decent.
The off licenses are far from cheap!
They're expensive near the ground.The off licenses are far from cheap!
Can't you pick some up cheaper near you Boothy, and take them down on the train or whatever. It'd save you a few bob.
Thought it was quite shit before Wolves actually.
I hate the Tollgate.
Shame as half the folk I know at United drink there.

Eh, it's not amazing but I can't see why you'd hate it.I hate the Tollgate.

I used to go to the Quad or Blaize before most games, but got tired of doing it week-in week-out and ended up going to the Tollgate more recently. I quite like it myself.
Trafford Bottle Bar is good but I don't massively like the pub itself.
Blaize is definitely the best of the lot to watch a United game in (if we're away or whatever) and good for drinking and a singsong.
Prob with trafford is there are some serious cnuts in that place, and is always rammed. Tollgate seemed nice for somewhere to star before going on, i always prefer cans outside anyway!
Tollgate is a nicer spot, no doubt
the pub remain open during the games and showing them live? i will go there on tuesday and i have ticket but my best friend does not and he is thinking to stay there to watch it
I could be corrected here but you need a match ticket to get into the pub before the match so I don't think you'll both be able to go in together before hand.
I've had to show my match ticket whenever I've been there before, not sure if that's changed now or if its still the same.
yes i know this rule but once the game start all people with ticket they will go to the stadium so the pub will be empty. i am wondering of they show the games live
Don't bother with the blaize as it's fecking shite.
is there is any place near the stadium to watch the games live?
All the pubs will show it and there is red square. The exchange is ok right by Salford quays tram stop
Not sure about that as I've never been in there when the game is on, but I'm pretty sure they do. They have all the screens and show build up to the game so I'd imagine they do show the match.
That's a compliment. It's not as good as shite.
Why does everyone hate the Blaize so much?
If your going Red Square it's £4 if your staying to watch the game.
Heard it's bit of a tourist attraction.
Sam Platts is the best I think. That Red Square looks good though, not been yet though to comment myself.
Platts is good for a sing song outside. Don't think it's got decent TV screens inside though?
It's my first ever Man Utd game Tueaday so I'm going to the Blaize. Gonna be swell to sing all the fans songs and I'm making sure I get pictures with the hardcore red fans.
I don't know any pubs around the ground that anyone actually likes.
The last few times I've been up we've gone to The Quadrant. They have a tv there that usually doesn't work, a healthy collection of passing weird looking people, and an absolutely disgusting brand of beer I ordered last time which I can't remember what it was.
Alternatively you can stand outside the Tollgate not being able to get in the actual pub.

Wouldn't town be as good/better to watch it anyway?
Good for you
Will you be there friend?
I was in there once this season as my mate I usually go to games with had actually never been there (usually goes to Platts or The Trafford) and he wanted to see what it was like.
Apart from the odd fit Scandinavian bird, it's a bit 'meh'.
The Blaize is shite because of the following: Songs about Leeds, City and scousers on a loop in conditions similar to a turkish sauna, Pete Boyle usually in there getting pints bought for him and people shaking his hand as if he is some demi god, it's pay to get in.
Boyle was stood beside us the last day I was in there actually. He had a face on him like a bulldog chewing a wasp, whatever was the matter. Maybe he didn't have enough of his minions buying him booze, who knows?
Forget the pubs, find a quiet spot along the Quay and have a cheeeeeky toke or two. No crowded bars or Pete Boyle's to be found!
