THINGS TO NOTE FOR SATURDAY’S MATCH

All Season Ticket Holders should now have received their Season Ticket Card which you will need to scan the barcode when you enter the ground. As this is a new system for this season we ask all season tickets holders to be patient when entering the ground. If you have yet to receive your season ticket card, please contact the office on 0161 769 2005 at the earliest convenience.

After the match at 5.30pm both the Main Stand Bar and SMRE Bar will show the Man United v Leicester match on the TV screens.

Holts Brewery are kindly putting on a FREE shuttle bus to and from the ground. Pre-match, this service will depart from the Crowne Plaza hotel, adjacent to the Hare and Hounds pub at Shudehill in Manchester, picking up at the Railway pub next to the Newton Heath/Moston Metrolink stop. The return shuttle bus only goes to the Newton Heath/Moston Metrolink stop after the game. (scroll down for more details).

Supporters will now be able to reserve seats in one block of the Main Stand by ringing the office by Friday on 0161 769 2005
We are now offering Match Day Dining. (see details below)

This season, all food and drink provision is contained within the ground so fans will not be able to leave and return to the ground during the game.

We have a new Club Shop situated next to the Main Stand Entrance open before and after the match.

We would like to make supporters aware that a local resident living on St. Mary’s Road near to the ground is getting married on Saturday. There will be a heavy presence of cars, wedding vehicles and guests coming and going from that address up to 2pm. We would therefore ask supporters who normally travel by car to the ground via St. Mary’s Road to take a small diversion, turning left off St. Mary’s Road onto Joyce Street followed by a right turn into Lightbowne Road. The shuttle buses from the Railway Pub will also take this slight detour. We would also like to remind fans that car parking on St. Mary’s Road and roads off it are prohibited.
