Well done all those who qualified. For hotel I'd recommend the Park Inn by Victoria Station ( http://www.parkinn.com/hotels/manpc) - I stayed there for the Sky Poker thing and it's brand new and within walking distance of the Manchester G. Jesus you're brave walking up there in the dark!! Please take a taxi people it is deffo not safe around there Edit : - Just wanted to clarify the hotel is a belter (ty Andrew) it is just the walk up Cheetam Hill road can be also  |

Is it just everywhere with a casino that is dangerous?  |

Tis grand. I was the taxi queen in Luton. Much to the dismay of a few blondes.

Must get the general consensus from the troops regarding hotels and will let you know. Would be great to get a few teams camped in the same place for the laugh.
As for flights, I can do like Brendan and fly in early Saturday morning. That said, I don't mind. lol Knowing how myself and TheDuke work...I'll probably fly in Friday. Just to check out the place, ya know. Back to Cork on Monday is the only 'for sure' so far, but I'll keep you posted.

Lazy get. Nothing to do with laziness. More to do with the mechanical issues of a skirt. Can't say I had that problem. Lucky you! Right then, hotels. I've done a search of the hotels in the area and the Park Inn is deffo the one imo. Priced it and the Travelodge. TL is only coming in at £5 per night cheaper. Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ok with spending an extra fiver for 'brand new' over a beat up TL. Park Inn is £51 per night for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Since I don't want any of ye feeling pressured, send me your thoughts via PM (which will be kept confidential) and I'll post when we have a general yes or no on the idea. If you've found a better deal or whatever add that to your PM. Cheers! |

Happy to reply on here.
Park Inn sounds good to me. Will only be staying Sat eve as finishing work in town at 5 means I won't be home until about 7, so Friday eve is not possible for me.
Early morning over caffeinated driving FTW!
